In critical care, every aspect of patient management plays a crucial role in their recovery, and nutrition is no exception. Providing adequate nutrition to critically ill patients is essential for maintaining their energy levels, supporting immune function, and promoting tissue repair. By prioritizing nutrition in the care of critically ill patients, healthcare providers can contribute to better outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and improved quality of life for patients after discharge from the ICU. #MissionICU #CriticalCare #PatientCare #LifeSavingBeds Maanoj Shah Ashwin Naik Dr Edmond Fernandes, MD Darshan Mahajan Shanthi Mathur

As Vascular Access Experts, we understand and appreciate the significance of the “Delay Cascade,” the concept that describes how delays in initial diagnosis and treatment can cause increased length of stay, worsening patient condition, antibiotic resistance, decreased patient satisfaction, and wasting of clinical resources, and we partner with our clients to mitigate these risks.

Studies indicate that around 10% of patients discharged from an ICU in developed countries get readmitted during the same hospital stay. These readmissions are not only a financial burden but are also associated with poorer patient outcomes, including: - increased length of stay - higher mortality rates - a greater risk of complications In our recent article, we explored 5 proactive strategies for reducing readmissions to the ICU.

We specialize in treating chronic wounds. But what exactly defines a chronic wound? Simply put, a chronic wound is a sore that’s remained open for 30 days or longer and hasn’t closed beyond 40%. It can be a diabetic foot ulcer, pressure ulcer, venous ulcer, arterial ulcer, surgical wound, or burn wound. If not adequately treated, chronic wounds can be progressive resulting in further health complications. The good news is that our specialized form of treatment has a 90-99% efficacy rate. According to Medicare, our procedure is 400% more effective than the next best form of treatment. It’s not uncommon for us to see wounds that have been open for 4-6 years heal within 7 weeks. Our physicians and nurse practitioners bring treatment to the patient once a week until the desired outcome has been achieved. That’s the Woundhouse effect.
