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

Fluid administration patterns can vary widely in the absence of goal-directed therapy protocols which may contribute to variability in surgical outcomes. A retrospective analysis of abdominal surgeries at two academic medical centers without departmental fluid administration guidelines (such as goal directed therapy) showed wide variability in infusion patterns between clinicians and within individual clinicians. https://lnkd.in/gnBvssz2 #hemodynamics #fluidmanagement #anesthesiology #patientsafety #GDHT

One of the keys to performing #USGRA is to know how to stay out of trouble, how to avoid complications such as injuring a nerve or local anesthetic toxicity. I created this image a long time ago but always hesitated to post it because of its oversimplification of a nerve. But I want to use it to explain a great technique to be safe during an #ultrasound guided peripheral nerve block. Needle B has entered the epineurium and some local has been injected. This injection could occur without much trouble. Maybe the regionalist just doesn't see their needle. This injection may result in a prolonged block, possibly a slight nerve injury resolving fairly quickly. Poor technique overall is the most likely culprit. Needle C is where we have some real issues. Entering and injecting within the endoneurium and possible trauma to fascicles. This space does not expand, the pressure within this space would increase very quickly with a small injection. Severe nerve damage can result. Needle A has a trajectory that is tangential to the nerve. This means even as a new regionalist if you lose sight of your needle on ultrasound and continue to advance you will just slide past the nerve causing no harm. This is a great way to keep yourself out of trouble. Also I should mention, Needle B is the reason you should not over sedate and maintain meaningful communication with your block patient. An injection through Needle B would most likely cause severe pain and your slightly sedated patient would react to let you know. Your deeply anesthetized patient may not let you know they are having severe pain leading to greater damage. FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc.
