My latest article on a fascinating topic, "No Joke: UCLA Health Team Proves It’s Possible to Perform High-Acuity Anesthesia Procedures Outside the OR," about conducting high-acuity procedures outside the surgical suite. In this case, UCLA Health is providing the Hepzato Kit procedure in an interventional radiology suite to deliver high doses of chemotherapy directly to the liver without exposing the rest of the body to the drugs. This targeted approach means fewer side effects, making the treatment safer and more effective for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who have liver metastases that cannot be surgically removed. Thanks to Dane Saksa, MD, MBA, Denise Heady, MA, and #UCLAHealth for their input. #HepzatoKit #Uvealmelanoma #ASAMonitor #anesthesiology
