Dermatology Nurses'​ Association’s Post

🛑June 12th is National Time Out Day! ✋Celebrate by Taking a Lifesaving Pause with Resources for Your Team National Time Out Day is an essential day for OR nurses as it ensures the correct surgery is performed on the right patient through a critical safety check. It encourages nurses to voice concerns and promotes clear communication among the surgical team, ultimately prioritizing patient safety in the OR. As a sales representative in the OR, I want to express my gratitude to the staff for their dedication to these crucial moments in each case. The average two minutes spent on a fully engaged Time Out is a valuable investment in patient safety. #doctors #nurses #nurselife #hospitals #urology #menshealth #womenshealth #surgery #positivevibes #medicalsales #medical #winningtogether #teamwork #ORStaff #surgicaltech #atlanta #nationaltimeout #implants #medicine #doctor #health #healthcare #medicalstudent #neet #surgery #mbbs #medstudent #medschool #medico #science #medicalschool #pharmacy #surgeon #anatomy #nursing #biology #education #love #medlife #aiims

The infrared revolution? https://lnkd.in/etNiBhk8 This study suggests to me that heating with infrared heat radiation (FIR) using an infrared heating panel can contribute to a reduction of infectious aerosols in the air. This is in contrast to traditional methods of heating that actually causes the problem. The study highlights the importance of minimizing air pollution in operating rooms, suggesting FIR as an effective method to reduce bacterial contamination of the outer packaging of sterile items. Statistical analyzes confirmed the significance of the results, with FIR treatment being associated with a low probability of colony formation after controlling for several factors. The researchers conclude that FIR treatment is effective in reducing bacterial contamination on the outer packaging of surgical instruments, which may reduce the risk of infections during surgery.

New data from The National Resident Matching Program suggests that new doctors' interest in emergency medicine is rebounding after the field became the embodiment of professional burnout during the pandemic. Despite higher-paying specialties like orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, thoracic surgery and radiology being the preferred choices, there has been a 5% increase in the number of students applying to US residency programs this year. Interestingly, this increase comes primarily from international medical school graduates and students in osteopathic medical schools that take a more holistic approach than traditional M.D. programs. However, and notably, the rate of filled primary care residencies fell 1.4% this year, with the same trend observed in pediatrics. #healthcare #residencymatch #publichealth #primarycare

Stephanie Ramdass, OD, MS, MBA, FAAO, FSLS shared her insights with readers on how to handle OrthoK patients' overall management and follow-up care. She wrote: "There is tremendous skill and clinical time invested when carrying out an orthokeratology fit. The ensuing processes are of equal importance to the fitting procedure, including the follow-up schedule and instructional review of care and handling steps associated with a newly established OrthoK wearer. Patient management and follow-up can differ depending on the wearer’s age and if OrthoK use is prescribed for myopia management or myopia correction."

Utilization of ultrasound in #pediatric anesthesia has gained increasing attention for its potential role in enhancing the precision and safety of caudal epidural blocks. The #article explores the potential benefits of U/S, especially in cases where landmark palpation is challenging, such as obesity, neonates, and infants, or in the presence of congenital vertebral malformations. Regional #anesthesia techniques play a critical role in pediatric care Caudal epidurals constitute 40% of all regional blocks in pediatric anesthesia, and traditional landmark-based techniques show a low complication rate. Caudal epidurals are commonly used to minimize exposure to peri-operative opiates in infra-umbilical surgery. Kim et al.'s #research revealed that using the equilateral triangle method to locate the sacral hiatus was unreliable in children under the age of 6. In another comparative study of 26 infants, Mirajali et al. palpated the PSISs easily but faced challenges in locating 15% of sacral cornua and, consequently, the sacral hiatus. Therefore, pre-scanning with U/S in this age group, where landmark-based #techniques may prove difficult, seems to be essential. Here are some major #benefits that ultrasound can provide while performing caudal blocks in neonates; • Visualizing crucial anatomical landmarks, including the sacral hiatus and surrounding structures, can also visualize the distribution of local #anesthetic within the epidural space. • A valuable diagnostic tool in #neonates due to incomplete ossification of posterior vertebral elements. • Real-time needle visualization can be done using U/S to prevent misplacement and enhance success rates. • Increases the first puncture success rates and overall success rates in pediatric caudal blocks. • Can benefit challenging scenarios, such as obesity and when a suspicion of spinal dysraphism exists. Further research, especially in specific patient groups, is recommended to validate these findings. Reference: SHOULD THE USE OF #ULTRASOUND (U/S) BE ROUTINE PRACTICE WHEN PERFORMING CAUDAL BLOCKS?

🔥Helpful note When it comes to assessing variable paediatric surgical conditions, timing is crucial. Some cases require immediate transfer to the surgical department, while others can be delayed for months. Here are the essential timeframes for referral of common paediatric surgical conditions: - Inguinal hernia, Paraphimosis, retracted foreskin, and Ectopic testis: Urgent referral needed. - Paraumbilical hernia: Follow up until 1 year - Hydrocele: Follow up until 1-2 years - Hypospadias: Refer at 6-18 months - Cleft lip: Refer at 3 months - Cleft palate: Refer at 6 months - Undescended testis: Refer at 6 months - Retractile testis: Refer for surgery at 10 years of age. 💡It's crucial to stay informed about the appropriate timeframes for referral to ensure the best care for paediatric surgical conditions. #PediatricSurgery #MedicalReferrals #HealthcareManagement
