A situational analysis by the Oxygen Alliance in 49 hospitals in 3 countries reveals that 29% of oxygen concentrators produce less than 82% oxygen—far below what is required for safe patient care. There is a shortage of biomedical engineers, with just 0.79 engineers per 100 hospital beds across surveyed facilities. This means we’re drastically underprepared to meet the oxygen needs of those most vulnerable—whether it’s during surgery, childbirth, or managing chronic conditions like COPD. On #WorldOxygenDay, we urge global leaders and stakeholders to commit to solutions that restore vital medical equipment and expand the biomedical workforce. Lives are on the line. Join the conversation. Demand action. Save lives. #SDGs #MedicalOxygen #BiomedicalEngineering #GlobalHealth #UHC

The quality of an ultrasound examination depends on many factors, but one of the most important is the technique of the examination itself. Improper diagnostic ultrasound examination performance is a waste of resources and time and often leads to incorrect conclusions, such as pseudo-pathologies being detected or pathologies not being located where they actually are. Such mistakes are not only costly for the medical institution but can also significantly damage the patient’s health and the practitioner’s reputation. For those who want to learn how to perform all the examination steps correctly, I invite you to register for the MUS-PATH 2024 course organized by the Ultrasound Center from 2 to 5 October. During MUS-PATH 2024, I will teach participants: > Standardized examination of patients > How to perform the correct ultrasound movements and control the transducer to obtain the required image > How to select the correct position for the patient > How to choose the correct position and movements during the examination See you at MUS-PATH 2024: https://lnkd.in/d79yUQ9f

How are you leveraging MSK ultrasound? 🔬💉 MSK ultrasound is transforming treatment for chronic tendinopathies. By guiding percutaneous tenotomy procedures, it offers a minimally invasive approach to stubborn tendon issues. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous tenotomy is transforming chronic tendinopathy care. This minimally invasive approach offers precision and potentially improved outcomes. Clinicians, what's your experience with this technique? Are you seeing a shift in patient management? #MSKUltrasound #Tenotomy #SportsMedicine #OrthopedicInnovation #ClinicalPractice

"Heartbeat of the Healthcare Industry: Examining the Global Medical Stethoscope Market" What is Medical Stethoscopes? A medical stethoscope is a diagnostic instrument commonly used by healthcare professionals, particularly doctors and nurses, to listen to internal sounds of the human body. The stethoscope consists of a set of earpieces connected to flexible tubing, which is in turn connected to a chest piece. The chest piece typically has a diaphragm and a bell, each designed for specific types of auscultation. When using a stethoscope, healthcare practitioners place the chest piece on the patient's skin or clothing, allowing them to listen to various sounds such as heartbeats, lung sounds, and abdominal noises. The diaphragm is sensitive to high-frequency sounds, making it suitable for detecting heart murmurs and breath sounds, while the bell is designed for low-frequency sounds like certain heart sounds and vascular noises. Stethoscopes are essential tools for conducting physical examinations and diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions. They play a crucial role in monitoring the functioning of vital organs and systems within the body. Advanced stethoscope models may incorporate electronic components for amplifying sounds or connecting to digital devices, enhancing their diagnostic capabilities. Get Insight - https://lnkd.in/gW_JyfqE Advantages of Medical Stethoscope Medical stethoscopes offer several advantages in the field of healthcare: 1.    Diagnostic Tool: Stethoscopes are fundamental diagnostic tools that allow healthcare professionals to listen to internal body sounds. They help in assessing the functioning of organs such as the heart, lungs, and abdomen, aiding in the identification of potential health issues. 2.    Non-invasive Examination: Stethoscopes provide a non-invasive means of conducting initial examinations. Healthcare practitioners can gather valuable information about a patient's health without the need for invasive procedures. 3.    Quick Assessment: Stethoscopes enable quick and efficient assessments during physical examinations. Healthcare providers can listen to heart and lung sounds rapidly, aiding in the timely identification of abnormalities or potential concerns. #medicaldevices #stethoscope #medicaldevice #advancements

There's a blueprint to delivering value in MSK care: First, determine which patients are appropriate for non-surgical treatment and which would benefit from surgery. Surgical candidates should be separated into those who are ready to go and those who would benefit from optimization of modifiable risk factors. Many conditions can be initially managed with high value, evidence-based conservative treatment. This has been a big area of focus for virtual/alternative MSK solutions as it's the fastest and easiest way to prove ROI. But steering patients who would benefit from a procedure away from surgery doesn't always make sense clinically (though it may support your value prop). If the ultimate outcome is going to be surgery anyway, forcing conservative measures wastes time/money and makes the patient suffer unnecessarily. That's not delivering value. Value is making sure surgical patients get connected with transparent, high-quality, cost-effective care. The nuance, and where the magic happens, is having the knowledge and experience to bridge the gap between protocol driven treatment and personalized, patient-specific care. Too much of the former dogmatically leads to cookbook medicine. Too much of the latter creates a Wild West scenario where anything goes. The future is creating an MSK medical home that helps PCPs appropriately evaluate and manage conditions in the primary care setting while serving as a conduit to high performing specialists. Reduce variability. Avoid low value interventions. Optimize, engage, and educate patients. Collect data and evolve treatment protocols/algorithms over time. Establish centers of excellence based on outcomes, not branding and reputation. As we shift toward condition specific MSK VBC, the winner will be the one who can successfully guide patients along the entire journey while interfacing across the care continuum (likely while taking on risk). Threading together the disparate parts is not easy. It takes deep subject matter expertise and an understanding of how the system works (and doesn't) -- which is probably why we haven't seen anyone grab the brass ring yet. #medicine #msk #valuebasedcare #vbc #healthcare #health #healthcareinnovation

Good thoughts and insights. We need better precision and guidance with decision-making for many disorders that aren’t clearly black/white for conservative vs surgical care decisions. Many don’t follow optimal pathways, that could be promising, and skip straight to surgical. Chris Tucker, MD and myself share some thought on this in an editorial in Arthroscopy Journals https://lnkd.in/g-AqRsZ2
