Success in Surgical Precision: Medex at The Second Hospital of Shenzhen 🏥 In a recent surgical triumph at The Second Hospital of Shenzhen, Medex Medical's advanced technology played a pivotal role in the treatment of a complex respiratory case. Meet our 25-year-old patient who faced near-complete obstruction of the left main bronchus, causing severe coughing, wheezing, and subsequent complications such as fever due to obstructive pneumonia. On January 18th, under the expertise of Director Li Mengmeng and Director Jie Qun in the Department of Anesthesiology, the patient underwent a groundbreaking procedure. The combination of cryotherapy and Medex's contact laser 980 excision treatment proved to be a game-changer. The surgical images vividly showcase the precision of Medex's equipment. The scalpel's tip, placed close to the airway wall, accurately vaporized the tumor, leaving minimal bleeding. The lesion was nearly completely removed, unveiling the left upper and lower bronchi with remarkable clarity. Precision: Utilizing an incredibly precise treatment tip with a cutting accuracy of 0.2mm. Safety: Ensuring minimal collateral damage (< 0.5mm) with controllable cutting depth of penetration. Efficiency: Achieving simultaneous cutting and hemostasis, thereby optimizing OR time and cost-effectiveness. As we await further treatment post-pathology analysis, our heartfelt wishes go to the patient for a swift and smooth recovery. This case exemplifies the transformative impact of advanced medical technology on challenging surgical scenarios. #MedexMedical #SurgicalPrecision #RespiratoryHealth #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareSuccess

Multi-society guidance on perioperative management of patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists (November 2024) Patients taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may be at higher risk of aspiration during anesthesia due to delayed gastric emptying. New joint practice guidance from anesthesiology, surgery, gastroenterology, and obesity medicine professional societies suggest that most patients without other risk factors for aspiration can continue the drug [1]. Patients with other risk factors should follow a clear liquid diet for at least 24 hours prior to anesthesia and clinicians should individualize the risks of continuing versus withholding the GLP-1 RA. On the day of surgery, all patients should be reassessed for signs of delayed gastric emptying and managed accordingly. #GLP-1 #endocrinology #Diabetes #gastroenterology and #anaesthesia #uptodate

Daily Critical Care Pearls #192: The incidence of torsades from low-dose ondansetron in peri-operative patients? 💉Some references list QT Prolongation with Ondansetron as a concern, but many clinicians believe that a low dose of 4 mg does not represent a significant risk for most patients. 💉Researchers at the Department of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota recently published a retrospective single center review evaluating the risk of torsades from a 4 mg dose of ondansetron IV in peri-operative patients. 💉Among a large cohort of over 32,000 patients which spanned a 2 year collection period, not one patient developed torsades or died as a result of ondansetron administration. 💉There were 46 patients in the cohort of over 32,000 that developed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.  However, 100% of these episodes were precipitated by existing cardiovascular disease and 50% of these episodes had documented monomorphic VT prior to receiving ondansetron. 💉This data should reassure concerned clinicians that low-dose ondansetron use in peri-operative patients does not come with a risk of torsades, ventricular tachycardia, or death beyond that of the baseline risk in this population.

In the third episode of She and He: Two Voices in Anesthesia, we explore a recent article published in Anesthesiology that investigates the link between intraoperative ventilation-perfusion (VQ) mismatch and postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk noncardiac surgeries. Our commentators, Sarah and James, walk us through the key findings of this study, highlighting how precise VQ monitoring can help anesthesiologists prevent serious complications like respiratory failure and pneumonia. After their insightful discussion, Javier Ripollés and Ángel Espinosa offer their clinical perspectives, sharing practical tips on improving intraoperative patient management in the OR. This is a must-listen episode for anyone involved in anesthesiology and perioperative care! https://lnkd.in/dksHcPQf

Participated in a lecture on 'Coagulopathy in Intensive Care Units,' organized by the Department of Anesthesiology in collaboration with the Department of Clinical Haematology by The Aga Khan University Hospital (Pakistan). This session provided valuable insights into the management of coagulation disorders in critical care settings, enhancing my knowledge of hematological complications in ICU patients. #agakhanuniversity #ICU #Haemotology #Cogulopathy

Death Interrupted: A New Perspective on Modern Medicine and Death In this thought-provoking Stanford Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine Grand Rounds presentation, Dr. Blair Bigham delves into how advancements in medicine and technology redefine our relationship with death. Drawing from his experiences as a paramedic and intensivist, he explores the "grey zone" in end-of-life care, where modern interventions sustain life even when recovery is improbable. Dr. Bigham also examines how cultural and ethical considerations impact the delicate balance of care decisions. Watch now to gain insights on redefining death in today’s healthcare landscape. https://lnkd.in/gBWegfGK

Spinal Stenosis is one of the most common chronic conditions we see in the clinic. It is the combination of two types of spinal issues. Spinal discs keep the bones in place. As they degenerate with age, it brings the bones closer together. Then, the spinal discs may protrude backward which starts pinching the nerves. The nerve pain radiates outward to the legs and the rest of the body. Also, the joint spaces may rub together which causes calcification to occur. Family Spine and Pain Care Institute specializes in providing non-surgical care for patients suffering from chronic pain and acute pain conditions or injuries. Dr. Omar Henriquez is double board-certified in Pain Medicine and Anesthesiology. We are dedicated to providing expert care with compassion.

As very well articulated by a mentor in the field of Anesthesiology, postoperative urinary retention (POUR) imposes unnecessary discomfort upon patients, stemming from pain, loss of independence, and compromised dignity resulting from avoidable catheterization, in addition to unwarranted utilization of healthcare resources and associated costs. Hence, strategies for reversing neuromuscular blockade must proactively consider the prevention of POUR. Thank you Weijia Wang and Aurelio Otero for allowing me to contribute to this work.
