I often reflect on how vital our nursing team is to eNeura and the success of SAVI Dual and sTMS therapy for migraine relief. Providers may fully support a product and prescribe it widely, but true success is measured by how much it improves patients’ lives. Without that real impact, the product’s potential remains unrealized. Grateful to work alongside such a dedicated team focused on making a difference! 🧲 Our clinical team, led by Kara Shorb MA, BSN, RN, serves as the bridge from prescription to treatment. From Day 1, her nursing team connects with patients, scheduling an unboxing session to walk through the SAVI Dual device together. The assigned clinical nurse dedicates about an hour to explain how Single-Pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation targets the underlying neurological dysfunction, as well as the optimal treatment protocol for both acute attacks and migraine prevention. Beyond the first call, our team stays in regular contact, offering support and ensuring consistent use during the critical first 3 months to help patients achieve the best possible results. A patient 'cheerleader', so to speak. 🧲 I believe it is this personal connection between patient and nurse that deserves recognition for much of the success eNeura has experienced over the past year. The combination of SAVI Dual's efficacy and the dedication of eNeura's clinical team will ultimately drive the future success of sTMS therapy as a leading non-pharmacological treatment option for migraine headaches. This patient-centered approach ensures that each individual receives not only effective treatment but also the support they need to achieve lasting relief. #TMS #Migraine #Neuromodulation #PatientCare #Veterans 🧲

Thank you Greater Ohio Vascular Access Network GOVAN for shifting the paradigm! It was nice to present on the adult patient perspective of living with long-term vascular access devices alongside, Tara, who is a PICU nurse and a parent to her son with TPN, and Mickey Hawes, nurse, researcher, consultant, previous Home Infusion Company exec., and PICC patient. The presentation was titled, “The Story Behind the Line: The Journey You Don’t See.” Todd Heslep BSN, RN, Paramedic, VA-BC, President, and the Executive Team at GOVAN made sure a patient and family perspective was shared in a meaningful way at their network meeting by: 1. Having us as the first speakers for the day. Doing so respects our time as the rest of the content is catered to clinicians and allows us to speak to audience members after having shared the bulk of our story so we do not have to repeat or experience any repeated trauma in resharing. Starting with the patient and family perspective can help set the desired tone and provides a good reminder of our why. 2. Valuing our time and energy as individuals and as a group. 3. Giving us autonomy in our slides and our call to action to the audience. I also thought putting questions from the audience in the middle of the presentation changed up the style and pace nicely and allowed the audience to feel included and have their questions answered. Great questions were asked pushing us to a good panel discussion. It was a joy to present and be a voice alongside Tara and Mickey’s thoughtful and direct insights. We shared the education we received to care for our lines in the home that has been most useful and the hardest to implement, and tips on how to communicate with us as adults, children, and caregivers, in the hospital at different points of access and the resources we may or may not have in the home. We truly asked everyone to understand this is our life not our job and we want you to take ownership of care delivery WITH us. We must work as partners. Being in a more intimate audience I got to see more closely for the first time clinician reactions of shaking heads, jaw drops and big eyes, when they learn I have had 31 central lines, 26 CLABSIs, 15 yrs no infection, same line for >5 yrs, and too many sticks w/o ultrasound. This is my why. This is why I continue to educate and travel to present. I get similar reactions in the hospital as an adult, especially at non-subspecialty hospitals stating I am the problem instead of asking why I had infections and line placements, what has been and is currently working well, and how can we continue that for you in this hospitalization and moving forward beyond these 4 walls. No one else should go through what I have gone through. We all have to learn from mine and the larger patient and family community experience for the next generation, for my gutsy peers, and for my friends who I have not met yet. #vascularaccess #vascularhealth #centralvenouscatheter #rarediseases #isavemyline

https://lnkd.in/e-E_VK8A The stated aim of this 2022 paper was to "synthesize evidence on the concept of reassurance in nursing practice." The authors examined data from 32 papers out of 2,771 search results which met their inclusion criteria. In 2022 reassurance evidently remained a poorly defined term - the authors point out that this had been noted decades before - by Teasdale (1989). ln most of the cases of clinical negligence in diabetes care in which I have been instructed there has been some degree of false reassurance given to patients - usually in the form of "don't worry, I'm sure everything will be alright". These remarks - usually well-meant, are common, and I'm sure most clinicians have been guilty of this at some stage in our careers. In diabetes cases though, false reassurance may be a precipitative element in mild patient non-compliance (they told me not to worry) leading to, for example, excessive use of the lower limbs when the patient had been told to rest their foot. A low-grade foot infection may thus progress to a limb or life-threatening condition fairly rapidly (the patient remembering the advice not to worry quite clearly, to the exclusion of later advice to stay off the foot).

Nurses change the body position of critically ill patients as frequently as every two hours to prevent bed sores and other complications associated with immobility (pulmonary complications such as ARDS, VAP and bronchopnemonia). Turning from side to side may also help loosen and drain secretions accumulated within the lungs. A lateral rotation mattress with position holding function can help nurses achieve above daily care activities. What an ICU bed can't do, our mattress can. https://lnkd.in/gawPC7MR.
