Adjusting FiO2 in non-ventilated patients is an imperfect art and carries unpredictable results. An automated system that responds to SpO2 would likely work much better. In a recent article from the current edition of Critical Care & Resuscitation Journal, the evidence is made clear: more time spent in target range with an automated approach (P=0.01). Well worth a careful read! Critical Care and Resuscitation is the official journal of the College of Intensive Care Medicine of Australia and New Zealand. https://loom.ly/AAGIaXY

I recently published a case study emphasizing the importance of exudate management in the wound healing process. The article also explores the pivotal role of the Tissue Viability Nurse in enhancing the quality of life outcomes for service users.

We marked another first to keep the heartbeats of our patients in sync. MedStar Washington Hospital Center is now offering the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System to treat atrial fibrillation, the most common heart rhythm disorder in adults. Traditional ablation therapies have relied on heat or cold energy to block the abnormal electrical signals responsible for AFib. The new, innovative PFA technology delivers highly focused electrical pulses to selectively block irregular heart rhythms while minimizing injury to surrounding areas. So far, 55 patients have been treated safely and effectively with PFA. Learn how the PFA technology works. https://bit.ly/3QQQdMX

How can introducing capsule sponge testing help tackle workforce and capacity challenges? The latest edition of Gastroenterology Today covers TWO examples 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezcSEVP Pages 6 - 7 feature our partnership with Xyla to offer greater flexibility for Trusts that want to run clinics to support their endoscopy capacity, but are in need of extra support. Pages 13 - 14 include a case study on the nurse-led capsule sponge clinics running in University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and how resource savings and opportunities for training have combined to help the team improve staff retention and access to care.

📖 Inside the Cover Story: Using EndoSequence Root Repair Material for more predictable success Dr. Najia Usman describes the benefits of using EndoSequence BC Pediatric Putty to create a biocompatible and bioinductive antibacterial solution that leads to better patient care for her young patients. “My first ‘ah-ha’ moment came when I saw the closing of a long-standing large sinus tract on my pediatric 8-year-old patient, who after trauma presented with chief complaint of mobility, swelling, and likely a situation that looked hopeless. The biggest challenge with an open apex case is productive disinfection followed by creation of a long-lasting seal. Calcium hydroxide was used as the intracranial medicament between visits. Because it was not radiopaque, it was hard to gauge if it even made critical contact with the periradicular biofilm. I placed CollaPlug scaffold gingerly, visualizing with the microscope and then placed the MTA on the CollaPlus pillow taking several radiographs until I felt that I could see the MTA appear to encapsulate the irregularly shaped apex. Despite the visually satisfying post-op radiograph, I would come to see the amazing periapical healing complete with a rejuvenation of the periodental ligament and concomitant osseous healing.” Read the full article 👉 https://ow.ly/GWp050SawTe

Since there is no legislation that covers the quality of cryonics care, or even a formal oversight organization yet, transparency of cryonics organizations is of crucial importance. Transparency does not only pertain to patient care but also to an organization’s operations, protocols, and communication with its members. Max More introduces the concept of transparency in cryonics and applies this concept to the major three cryonics organizations.
