In emergency healthcare, the rapid flow rate of IV fluid delivery can make all the difference. Intravenous access is a vital tool, ensuring swift and effective administration of fluids and medications during critical situations. Rapid infusion of fluids and blood products can be life-saving, especially in managing circulatory and heamorrhagic shock. Early and prompt resuscitation is crucial for restoring circulation and optimising organ perfusion. To learn more about the studies that support these practices and highlight the significant impact of timely resuscitation on patient outcomes, have a look at our Knowledge hub: bit.ly/3Inb1qK #EmergencyMedicine #IVTherapy #PatientCare

Discussion about the Importance of Using a Spirometer in Post-CABG Recovery During the recovery phase after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), utilizing a spirometer is a critical tool to ensure proper lung function restoration. This simple device encourages patients to take deep and regular breaths, helping to prevent complications such as fluid accumulation in the lungs or pneumonia. ❗ Why is it important? Enhances Lung Capacity: The spirometer aids in expanding the lungs and gradually restoring their elasticity. Prevents Complications: It reduces the risk of post-operative pneumonia. Supports Overall Recovery: It improves blood circulation and oxygen flow, accelerating the healing process. 🌟 Tip: Patients should use the spirometer multiple times a day, following the healthcare team's instructions, to achieve the best results in their recovery journey. #Healthcare #CABG #Spirometer #CardiacSurgery #Recovery #RespiratoryCare

A discussion surrounding the significant risk of cross-contamination in the OR due to biocontaminated laryngoscopes. It highlights that all parts of the laryngoscope, including the handle, should undergo high-level disinfection or sterilization to ensure patient safety. The shift towards single-use disposable laryngoscopes is also questioned, suggesting a balance between safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental impact is needed.

We analyzed nearly 45,000 #TabloDialysis treatments and found that our machine’s ability to learn from users can minimize complications associated with extracorporeal circuit clotting (ECC). The prescribed saline flush feature on Tablo, applied at low intervals, significantly lowers the risk of high-pressure alarms — early indicators of potential ECC and treatment issues. By adjusting saline volume and fluid removal targets based on learned user data, our findings show that we can reduce the need for anticoagulants and minimize bleeding risks in high-risk patient populations for both HHD and acute-care settings.

Did you know that Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy with the VersaPAP® device can prevent or even reverse atelectasis while improving mucociliary clearance? These benefits not only enhance patient outcomes but also support quicker recovery times. Discover the power of PAP therapy! https://lnkd.in/egxqdQHJ #TeamMonaghan #VersaPAP #hospitalonly

Placing a Peripheral IV Catheter (PIVC) is a common hospital procedure, but it can lead to complications, such as blood exposure, due to complexities of the process. Blood spills can happen during insertion, handling, or disposal of IV catheters. Not only does this mean extra cleaning and disinfection time, it also exposes healthcare professionals to risks.  At B. Braun, we are committed to creating a world where there are no more worries about risks. Since 1962 we have constantly raised the bar in safe patient access.  On this World AIDS Day, see how we are taking the next step in safety, with our broad portfolio of safety catheters. Our advanced design concepts, integrating new safety features, promise more protection from blood exposure and needlestick injuries. Higher control and convenience are right at your fingertips.  Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g3zsywZ7 #WorldAIDSDay2024 #SafetyCatheter #NeedleStickInjuries #台灣柏朗 #BBrauntw Source: [1] Richardson D, Kaufman L.

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an oxygen supply system capable of delivering up to 100% humidified and heated oxygen at a flow rate of up to 60 liters per minute and eventually higher .1 HFNC oxygen therapy is used as an oxygenation method during procedures in various clinical settings, including ICUs, Emergency Departments, Operating Rooms and during post-surgical care. This type of therapy is primarily used for patients who require respiratory support, such as critically ill patients and those with a difficult airway.

Revolutionizing Urinary Care: The ur24T External Continence Aid The ur24T external continence aid breaks away from the traditional limitations of catheters. Here are the key benefits: • Reduces CAUTI Risk: External devices like the ur24T can help lower catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), a common complication with internal catheters. • Designed for Ease: Its user-friendly design ensures portability, comfort, and a unique active bladder-emptying system that sets it apart from typical external catheters. • Versatile Use: Perfect for hospitals, long-term care, and even at home, the ur24T is simple to install, hypoallergenic, and eliminates the need for adhesives or skin contact, reducing irritation. Most medical advances improve existing tools, but the ur24T does more. Emptying the bladder rather than just collecting urine offers a fresh approach to urinary care, giving patients more comfort and control.
