𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔.𝐒. Surgeons at a medical center in Illinois have performed what is thought to be the first awake kidney transplant in the U.S. Instead of using general anesthesia, they opted for spinal anesthesia, which is often used in procedures like Caesarean sections. This allowed the patient to remain fully awake and aware during the operation, which took less than two hours. The patient was able to converse with the surgeons throughout the procedure and reported feeling no discomfort. After the successful surgery, the patient was discharged the next day, much quicker than the typical two to three-day hospital stay for kidney transplants. Key highlights: Awake Surgery: The patient was fully aware but felt no sensation during the transplant. Shorter Recovery: The operation took less than two hours, and Nicholas was able to leave the hospital the very next day, compared to the usual two-to-three-day stay. Real-Time Experience: Nicholas watched as his old kidney was removed and the new one inserted, even discussing the progress with the surgeons during the procedure. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐚? General anesthesia can cause side effects like nausea, sore throat, confusion, and longer recovery times. By opting for spinal anesthesia, doctors reduced these risks, allowing for a smoother and faster recovery. This remarkable achievement could pave the way for safer and quicker recovery times in future transplant surgeries.

When it comes to complex surgeries – precision is everything. 💯 A recent study highlights the impact of low Cardiac Index during anesthesia, a condition that can lead to serious post-surgery complications.❗️ With #Argos, clinicians can gain a complete, accurate real-time picture of cardiac status, allowing for quick interventions and preventing unnecessary complications. ✅ Advanced hemodynamic monitoring not only measures but offers a deep understanding of the patient’s condition, allowing for informed and timely responses. ✅ Retia Medical leads the field, bringing true innovation to medicine – precision, simplicity, and optimal outcomes for every patient. ❤️

Addressing Postoperative Delirium: New Guidelines and Clinical Experience The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (ESAICM) has released a valuable update on managing Postoperative Delirium (POD). This evidence-based guideline emphasizes the importance of: -Preoperative risk assessment: Identifying older adults susceptible to POD through pre-operative screening allows for targeted interventions. -Multimodal non-pharmacological approaches: For patients at risk, implementing a combination of non-drug strategies holds promise in preventing POD. -Perioperative dexmedetomidine: Recent data suggests that using dexmedetomidine around surgery, particularly postoperatively in the ICU, may be associated with a lower risk of POD.

"Surgery and anaesthesia exert comparatively greater adverse effects on the elderly than on the younger brain, manifest by the higher prevalence of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction. Postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction delay rehabilitation, and are associated with increases in morbidity and mortality among elderly surgical patients." --Study from the National Library of Medicine, Should general anaesthesia be avoided in the elderly? Delirium is a lesser known but debilitating side effect for seniors after surgery. At Solo-Dex, we offer a better solution. With our Precision Acute Pain Services™️ patients get a targeted, regional anesthesia approach without the delirium side effects that gives you clarity rather than cloudiness.

Anesthesia Equipment Market Worth $11.0 Billion Download a PDF Brochure: https://lnkd.in/dctjzett Growth in this market can primarily be attributed to the growing number of surgeries owing to the prevalence of various diseases. Anesthesia plays a key role, since every patient that undergoes surgery is anesthetized to manage the pain during the course of surgery. The major surgical procedures performed globally are orthopedics, cardiology, and neurology, owing to the high prevalence of these medical conditions. Such a high number of surgical procedures are expected to propel growth of the global anesthesia devices market. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: GE HealthCare, Drägerwerk AG & Co.

Coping with anesthesia can be an anxiety-inducing experience for surgical patients. Austin Street, M.D., explains how UT Southwestern utilizes ERAS to simplify the #anesthesiology experience and improve patient recovery after surgery. https://bit.ly/3SuR2wl

It is very hard to find areas to improve in surgical procedures, especially in a high-volume cardiac procedure such as coronary artery bypass. Several years ago, one of my anesthesiologist friends told me that surgery is like a symphony. Every movement is studied and coordinated to ensure the best possible outcome. Yet, I think Lee Goeddel and the team at Johns Hopkins may be onto something. Check out their recent paper: https://lnkd.in/eJziwn6h Using the Argos monitor from Retia Medical, they discovered that these cardiac surgical patients experienced periods of “hidden” or “silent” shock, where their cardiac index was below 2, while mean arterial blood pressure was normal. The more exposure patients had to these periods of hidden shock, the higher their risk of acute kidney injury. More data is needed to confirm this preliminary finding. These patients all had preserved ejection fraction and were monitored with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) by cardiac anesthesiologists. This research suggests that it is possible that continuous cardiac output monitoring can be an important complement to TEE in helping anesthesiologists ensure their patients preserve vital organ function during cardiac surgery. Having advanced hemodynamic monitoring is becoming a matter of patient safety now. Watch this space for more big data studies by Lee Goeddel, Charlie Brown and the outstanding team at Johns Hopkins. #anesthesiology #surgery #preventkidneyinjury

Interesting evaluation and proof of concept by a team of anesthesiologists in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. Title: Process, successes and challenges of building an inpatient preoperative evaluation team for patients requiring urgent surgery. Objective:  Introduce and evaluate the Rapid OR Decision Evaluation and Optimization (RODEO) service aimed at improving preoperative care for patients requiring urgent surgery. Location:  Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, Washington, a Level 1 Trauma Center. Methodology: The RODEO service was staffed by Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) with telephone support from attending physicians. Initially targeted orthopedic trauma patients before expanding to other surgical areas. Tasks included evaluating chronic conditions, managing medications, ordering tests, and ensuring clear communication among care teams. Results: Assessed 730 patients, with a focus on medically complex individuals. Significantly reduced OR delays and cancellations due to incomplete workups from 19% to 0% and from 50% to 0%, respectively. Conclusion:  The implementation of a specialized preoperative team like RODEO is not only feasible but also effective in reducing OR delays and cancellations for urgent surgical inpatients. #anesthesiology #preoperative #surgery Limitations:  The study acknowledges that RODEO was designed for a specific setting and its implementation coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting further research is needed to assess its impact on postoperative outcomes.

Just came across a study on #Accuro, a clinically proven solution for #neuraxial anesthesia guidance, a product supplied in the #UK by Fannin Ltd. A clinical study published by the American Society of Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine compared #Accuro to palpation-guided spinal anesthesia for obese patients undergoing #orthopedicsurgery. The study concluded that #Accuro (RIVANNA) significantly reduced the number of needle redirections and skin passes during the procedure. https://lnkd.in/eQxgaidF #Ultrasound #Anesthesia #PatientSafety #MedTech #PatientCare #FanninUk
