Cocaine-induced vasculitis is a serious condition causing nasal tissue necrosis that is on the rise in ENT clinics. Our new clinical management guidelines, produced with BFSPS and BRS recommend using the term "pseudo-Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis" and treating with anti-inflammatory meds and immunosuppression: https://ow.ly/uWeL50R2lZ7

A story on why clinicians need to know costs of their orders more than anyone. The acquisition cost of rectal indomethacin has gone up from $2 a dose to $325 a dose. The ASGE guidelines state there is a 50% reduction in post ERCP pancreatitis amongst all-comers undergoing ERCP making it a recommendation. It is unsustainable to use this medication on every patient undergoing an ERCP. What if I am merely exchanging a stent? What if the patient has had a sphincterotomy and I'm going to place a pancreatic stent? What if my rate of post ercp pancreatitis is low and I do 300+ ERCP's per year? Giving clinicians the cost data, the clinical synopses, and empowering them at the point-of-care is the essence of clinical-financial decision support. Ordersets and formulary restrictions across 1000's of order types are not the solution. #Empoweringphysicians #physicianautonomy. https://lnkd.in/eWTsvAWY

His results showed in a significant number of cases, specifically 42.7%, physicians decided not to treat the patient when home OCT data was present. In cases when they did treat patients earlier, it was by more than a week. #digitalhealth #ophthalmology #retina #remotepatientmonitoring #amd

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is a standard care procedure for many years now. Still, the prognostic benefits of TEER remain unclear in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR). This recent investigation aimed for clinical outcomes in TEER for patients with AFMR Check out the full paper here: #teer #edgetoedge #afmr #mitralvalverepair

1- Clinicians should diagnose posterior semicircular canal BPPV when vertigo associated with torsional, upbeating nystagmus is provoked by the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. 2- Clinicians should not obtain radiographic imaging in a patient who meets diagnostic criteria for BPPV in the absence of additional signs and/or symptoms inconsistent with BPPV that warrant imaging. 3-Clinicians should not routinely treat BPPV with vestibular suppressant medications such as antihistamines and/or benzodiazepines. 4- Clinicians should use repositioning procedures or refer to a clinician who can treat, patients with posterior canal BPPV with a *canalith repositioning procedure*. #vertigo #dizziness #vestibularrehab #physiotherapy #BPPV

If you would like to know how to treat an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), you should definitely have a look on Leonard‘s article about the AMDS. #artivion #DHZC #ATAAD #AMDS

Peripheral intravenous (IV) insertions are a common procedure in healthcare settings. However, locating suitable veins can be challenging, especially in obese or dehydrated patients. There is a solution to this problem– using infrared vein finders improves the efficiency and success rates of peripheral IV insertions. With near-infrared light technology, these devices can visualize the underlying vascular anatomy, allowing healthcare professionals to identify optimal veins for cannulation. The science behind this technology explores the potential benefits, including increased first-attempt success rates, reduced patient discomfort, and improved overall procedural efficiency. Medical professionals hope to optimize their peripheral IV insertion techniques using these new and innovative resources.
