🎙️ Check out this podcast! 👇🏼 ICU diaries are crucial yet often overlooked. They are cost-effective in preventing Post Intensive Care Syndrome, boosting family involvement, and enhancing care quality and patient experience. "Families became stronger after writing in an ICU Diary" Digital diaries are especially beneficial—they're cost-effective, need minimal IT setup, and offer secure access for patients, families, and hospitals. They're safer, more versatile than paper, and enable communication with ICU staff from anywhere. Discover more at www.post-icu.com 🔗

🦶 Hintermann Series H2 | Total Ankle Replacement The Hintermann Series H2® is indicated as a total ankle replacement (TAR) in primary or revision surgery of ankle joints damaged by: Systemic arthritis of the ankle (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, hemochromatosis), Primary arthritis (e.g., de-generative disease), Secondary arthritis (e.g., post-traumatic, avascular necrosis, provided enough of the talus is preserved to support the implant). The Hintermann Series H2 is also indicated for patients with a failed previous ankle surgery and revision surgeries following failed total ankle replacement or non-union/mal-union of an ankle arthrodesis, provided sufficient bone stock is present.

🚨12 Painful Musculoskeletal Conditions That Can Be Treated Effectively with Low Dose Radiation Therapy🚨 As I visit Dr. M. Heinrich Seegenschmiedt in Germany this week, I’m amazed at all of the various conditions treated with radiation therapy. Low Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT) is proving to be an effective treatment for a wide range of painful musculoskeletal conditions. Here are some of the conditions that can benefit from LDRT: 1. Osteoarthritis (activated or degenerative) 2. Heel spur (plantar fasciitis) 3. Calcific tendinitis (calcified shoulder) 4. Tendinitis and tendon inflammations 5. Bursitis 6. Tennis/golfer's elbow (epicondylitis) 7. Hand/finger osteoarthritis (rhizarthrosis, Heberden's nodes, Bouchard's nodes) 8. Jumper's knee (patellar tendinitis) 9. Tenosynovitis (inflammation of tendon sheaths) 10. Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) 11. Shoulder impingement syndrome 12. Inflammatory osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint The potential of LDRT to alleviate pain and improve mobility in these conditions is truly remarkable. Looking forward to learning more and sharing insights from this visit!

How cool is this PRESTAN Products #AED (Automatic External Defibrilator) Trainer? At apm Düsseldorf 📚 is possible to train nursing students with this simulation AED in case of real emergency situation on field. Did you know that: - using real #AED in emergency situations increases chances of surviving 🫀 - you cannot hurt yourself with real #AED since you are the one who needs to press a button and deliver schock 💥 - #AED can give you a good #rhythm for your heart massage performance 🦗 - real AED will check the heart rhythm before recommending schock delivery, #AED Trainer will simulate this (since Mannequin has no pulse) Have you ever been in a situation to use one of AED's? #heartmassage #cpr #savinglife

🎬 I enjoyed wrapping up my inspiring days at Euroanaesthesia 2024 in Munich as part of Leuag AG, a proud partner of NeuroWave Systems, Senzime, and more (see our online portfolio at https://leuag.ch ). 🤝 I had the privilege to meet the teams of NeuroWave and Senzime and engage in enriching discussions. 🚀 The evolving role of these companies in the need for quantitative monitoring is crucial for ensuring patient safety, optimizing care, and improving clinical and economic outcomes. 🏥 Central to our conversations was the commitment to enhancing patient safety through advanced monitoring technologies and protocols that reduce risks, improve recovery times, and enhance patient outcomes. 🔌 The desire for connectivity, especially through digital technologies, is revolutionizing anesthesiology. 👣 Personalized anesthesia, tailored to the unique needs of each patient, was highlighted as a way to enhance safety and efficacy. 🧠 NeuroSENSE offers a solution to better understand and monitor brain health during anesthesia. Utilize our monitor to detect bilateral EEG changes, enabling anesthesia providers to tailor dosing to individual patient requirements, thereby improving patient care and safety. 💪 Senzime’s TetraGraph system provides a reliable solution, offering precise, real-time data on muscle relaxation. It helps clinicians ensure complete recovery from neuromuscular block, reducing the risk of postoperative complications. 👏🏻 A big thanks to my team for their customer engagement and collaboration with both companies. 🙏 It was an honor to contribute to these discussions and witness the innovative spirit driving our products forward. I look forward to continuing this journey as a trusted partner. #Euroanaesthesia2024  #Senzime  #NeuroWaveSystems  #BrainMonitoring  #PatientCare  #patientsafety #MedicalInnovation #AnesthesiaTechnology #HealthcareAdvancements #ClinicalOutcomes #MedicalDevices #DigitalHealth #PatientMonitoring #SurgicalSafety #AnesthesiaCare #HealthcareTechnology

🤩 I'm excited that #TeamElli has been part of the pilot phase of the German Cardiac Arrest Registry (G-CAR), a national, prospective, multicentre registry aimed at improving our understanding and management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in Germany. 🌍 In Europe, over 300,000 individuals experience OHCA annually, yet survival with good neurological outcomes remains limited. During the 16-month pilot phase, 15 centres enrolled 559 consecutive patients aged ≥18 years. 🗒 Key findings include a median age of 66 years, layperson resuscitation in 60.5% of cases, and shockable initial rhythms in 46.4%. Notably, 62.9% underwent coronary angiography and 61.4% received PCI. Despite advancements, the in-hospital mortality rate was 70.5%, primarily due to anoxic brain damage. eCPR was performed in 11.0% of patients, with an in-hospital mortality rate of 85.2%. 🎯 G-CAR focuses on cardiac and interventional treatment, and these initial results highlight the need for further analysis and expansion to a national scale. This initiative holds promise for enhancing patient outcomes and providing valuable data for future research. 🙏 THX PD Dr. med. Janine Pöss, FESC and Christoph Sinning for giving us the opportunity to be part of this forward-looking project #Cardiology #EmergencyMedicine #OHCA #ClinicalResearch #GCAR #Resuscitation https://rdcu.be/dKUFA

💡 Insightful new study results on the impact of #ZeroGravity on significantly reducing occupational scatter radiation for Interventional cardiologists and sterile assistants in critical anatomical areas. The study highlights that:  ➡️ Implementing protection systems like Zero-Gravity can drastically reduce cathlab staff's exposure to scatter radiation during elective and emergency procedures.  ➡️ Given the well-documented long-term effects of occupational scatter radiation on Interventional cardiologists, advanced radiation protection devices like Zero-Gravity should be recommended in interventional cardiology practice guidelines. Thank you, Prof. Daniel Scherr, for presenting the research findings at the annual congress of the ÖKG. #RadiationSafety #OccupationalHealth
