“This could have a substantial long-term impact on patient care, potentially putting patients at risk.” Not a great thing to read. Next generation diagnostic and risk stratification devices like the #CADScor System by Acarix can help to rule out #CAD at point of care within minutes. Refining the risk stratification process for patients and getting the patients that need to be seen by the cardiologist in more efficiently. Studies show that implementing CADScor into the workflow can reduce unnecessary testing for ~40% of patients by ruling out significant CAD upon presenting. https://lnkd.in/gwN_ieSq #healthcare #medicaldevices #healthinnovations #medicalresearch #medtech

Heart Rhythm Society’s survey assessing same-day discharge after EP procedures and implementation in ambulatory surgical centers @hrs_journal 1) It appears that yellow (current practice) and green (yes) bars should be summed relative to red bar (no). 2) The majority of #EPeeps in this survey support AF ablation at ASC. 3) I personally think the opposite of the majority with regard to right vs left sided PVC ablation.

🚨 New Research Alert: Transforming ICU Extubation Decisions with AI-Powered Insights 🚨 The Ottawa Hospital recently published a phase I study on the Extubation Advisor (EA), a novel tool that leverages waveform data to support extubation decisions by generating synoptic reports for each Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT). This pioneering AI-driven software was assessed across three ICUs, with findings that highlight both its feasibility and potential in ICU settings. 🔍 Key Findings: Data Completeness: Achieved a 100% data capture rate and 97% real-time report generation—far exceeding feasibility benchmarks. MD/RT Feedback: Nearly half of the surveyed physicians and respiratory therapists reported definite or potential benefits, praising the EA for tracking progress and supporting decisions in resource-limited settings. Opportunities: Enhanced decision-making, patient progress tracking, and critical support for busy ICU environments. Curious about how the EA could reshape ICU care? Dive into the details of this groundbreaking research to explore the next frontier of predictive clinical decision support. 🔗 #ICUCare #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare #ExtubationAdvisor #CriticalCareInnovation #TheOttawaHospital #ClinicalDecisionSupport #FutureOfICU #RespiratoryCare #MachineLearning

Anaesthesia is increasingly being used in non-operating room anaesthesia settings. This brings additional challenges for anaesthetists who may be working in unfamiliar settings that aren't geared towards anaesthesia delivery. How can we improve safety for patients and clinicians and make anaesthesia more adaptable beyond the OR? Our new anaesthesia workstation is rising to meet these challenges - launching in Europe on 25th September. Watch this space! #Mindray #anesthesia #PerioperativeCare

Exciting news from our partners at Therapeutic Monitoring Systems Inc., with whom we've co-developed the Extubation Advisor, a first of it's kind AI clinical decision support tool! Read more below and give them a follow!

Implementing AI-driven continuous monitoring has drastically reduced alarm fatigue and improved patient outcomes in several hospitals. The use of Visensia technology has shown promising results in early warning of patient deterioration. For example, Visensia provided an average of 6 hours advanced warning of critical instability and reduced the number of times patients became seriously unstable by 58% .

🌟 Informed Consent for POCUS Ultrasound: Essential Tips for Healthcare Providers 🌟 As Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) becomes more widely used in clinical practice, informed consent is crucial for ensuring that patients understand the procedure, its purpose, and any potential risks. Here are some key tips for obtaining informed consent for POCUS: Explain the Purpose: Clearly communicate why the ultrasound is being performed and how it will aid in diagnosis or treatment. Make sure patients know it’s a tool, not a definitive diagnostic test. Clarify the Process: Walk patients through the procedure. Explain what they can expect, including any physical sensations (e.g., the gel on their skin or the pressure from the probe). Discuss Risks and Limitations: While POCUS is generally safe, make patients aware of potential risks or limitations, such as limited resolution or the need for follow-up imaging. Ensure Voluntary Participation: Consent must be given voluntarily, with the patient feeling empowered to ask questions or opt-out if needed. Provide Privacy and Comfort: Make sure the patient feels comfortable during the process, ensuring their dignity and privacy are maintained at all times. Document the Consent: Record the informed consent process in the patient’s chart, including their understanding and agreement to the procedure. 🌍 POCUS is revolutionizing patient care, but transparency and trust are key to its success. #POCUS #InformedConsent #Ultrasound #PatientCare #MedicalEthics #HealthcareProfessionals #PatientSafety
