Despite overall improvements in patient safety during the perioperative period, safe anesthetic care is not universal. Anesthesiology teams play a vital role in improving equity in perioperative patient safety.  https://lnkd.in/gUx9F8SH

This article reviews the evolution of airway intubation devices from early tools like the Miller and Macintosh laryngoscopes to the advent of video laryngoscopes (VL), which have significantly improved intubation success rates and reduced patient trauma. It emphasizes that future innovations should focus on devices that are simpler to use, require less training, and are cost-effective, especially for non-expert providers in emergency and lower-resource settings. 👩⚕️ 👨⚕️ #Healthcare #MarketTrends #Anesthesia #Innovation #LocumTenens #Anesthesia #HealthcareCareers #locumjobs #locumlife #anesthesiologist #anesthesia #anesthesiology #crnajobs #crnalife #mpltway #opportunityawaits https://lnkd.in/esxrf3VT

There has been a strange trend of a a handful of anesthesiologists reaching out to me lately, telling me I'm not successful, and giving me unsolicited advice on how to be successful. In one case, an anesthesiologist told me to take her idea that was not founded on research, name-dropped some unfamous people in the spinal leak space, told me she hated to see my pain go to waste (is it?), and told me to go do the research for her on her idea as she was far too busy. After multiple instances like this, I think that perhaps we are defining success differently. So here's how I define success: a business with 1.6 YoY growth from 2022 to 2023, five radiology residents put through our workshop last year, an eBook written with a thematic analysis of patient stories matched with research to back up the patient experience, head physicians at Mayo and Cuyuna Regional Medical Center implementing changes to improve spinal leak care based on interactions with me, 300% revenue growth from 2023 to 2024 specific to HR and recruiting clients paying for education materials on the inclusion of homebound talent, solving three of my secondary health issues through nutrition, and receiving countless messages from patients saying that the informational content I produce on spinal leaks and spinal leak care helped them avoid disastrous injury in their patient journey and secure care through self-advocacy. Goals can differ from campaign to campaign. While working full-time, I produced educational content and was swarmed by tens of thousands of patients who loved my content, wanted my support, and wanted me to provide them with consultations, repeatedly saying that I was more knowledgeable on this condition than any doctor they had encountered. My TikTok account grew much larger than I had planned and people were finding my content around the world. I had to put up boundaries as the cries for help became more and more abundant. Then started the cyberstalking. They associated me with hope and a solution, and I had removed myself from them. They did not seem to understand that I wasn't in a place where I could help them. I could never be the one to fix them. That would have to take place in the form of a blood patch. I emphasized again and again that I only knew about this very specific area and that the goal was to get doctors to learn more about this area so that they would know more than me about with a broader understanding of spinal leaks. Having seen how radiology approached problems and how anesthesiology approached problems, I approached anesthesiology to take the torch from me and raised awareness of the harm happening with interventional radiology leading chronic spinal leak care. Perhaps the difference in perceived success is prestige and public acknowledgement. I never wanted prestige. My idea of success was always and is always to simply have peace.

🧬Anesthesiologists of the Future 🚀 Reflecting on our Medtronic Patient Monitoring and Respiratory Interventions International Expert Forum we had last week in Rome with about 100 brilliant minds in anesthesiology and acute care across Europe, here are my key takeaways: 1. Anesthesiologists are at the forefront of integrating technology into healthcare. They leverage AI, automation, and data analytics to improve patient outcomes and ensure safety. These advancements allow for personalized anesthesia planning, efficient intraoperative care, and effective postoperative recovery, placing anesthesiologists at the center of the patient journey. 2. To enhance patient safety and efficiency, anesthesiologists must collaborate with industry partners. These partnerships drive innovation, leading to cost-effective technologies, data-driven insights, continuous monitoring, and sustainability practices. 3. Given the shortage of skilled anesthesiologists, a multi-faceted approach is needed to manage resources effectively. Solutions include embracing automation, utilizing telemedicine, continuous monitoring, and implementing team-based care with task shifting. Cross-training and collaboration with other healthcare professionals and industry partners optimize workflow and reduce the burden on anesthesiologists. 4. Anesthesiologists are central to the patient journey, enhancing Patient-Centered Precision Care, engaging in preoperative assessments, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative pain management. Their role extends to patient education and communication, ensuring a clear understanding of the anesthesia process and fostering trust. 5. The future of anesthesiology includes a focus on sustainability. Industry partners play a key role in developing environmentally friendly products and practices. Anesthesiologists can advocate for sustainability, which not only reduces environmental impact but also lowers costs and improves efficiency. 6. Anesthesiologists can demonstrate the financial benefits of advanced technologies through data-driven evidence. By optimizing workflows, utilizing AI-driven decision support systems, and reducing waste, they can showcase cost-effective strategies to hospital administration, contributing to improved patient safety and operational efficiency. In summary, the Anesthesiologist of the future will be a central figure in patient care, leveraging technology, industry partnerships, and innovative practices to address human resource challenges and improve efficiency.

Scheduling Bottleneck: Administrative staff often manage consultant scheduling, adding to their workload and creating a bottleneck in the process. Medilancers: A Modern Solution Streamlined Platform: Medilancers offers a user-friendly platform where hospitals can post specific consultant needs. Anesthesiologists with relevant skills and experience can browse opportunities and express their interest. Wider Talent Pool: Medilancers connects hospitals with a broader network of qualified anesthesiologists, potentially leading to faster identification of the right candidate for the job. Automated Matching: The platform uses technology to match hospital needs with anesthesiologist profiles. This reduces manual effort and streamlines the initial selection process. Improved Communication: Medilancers facilitates direct communication between hospitals and anesthesiologists, allowing for quicker confirmations and reduced scheduling errors.
