Sutter Medical Technologies’ Post

A couple of years ago, just for the kicks we published a video on difficult IV access on NYSORA’s YouTube channel. I remember it like it was today: We actually hesitated to release the video because our channel was at the time watched mostly by anesthesiologists. Therefore - why "How TO IV" access on NYSORA's channelYT , when we anesthesiologists are uniquely trained to be the best at IVs? Besides, in an era of ultrasound, who needs traditional techniques to an IV, right? Wrong! With our surprise, we watched the Difficult IV videos hit nearly 2 million views. We then released another one, then and another one... Watching the views of IV techniques videos soar, we looked up what was available for education on the topic of IV, and we realized that nearly all books on IV access are mostly theoretical. And therefore, in response to our viewer’s quest for better learning tool on difficult IV access, NYSORA Press just published a hands-on manual packed with real-world advice that textbooks just don't offer. The manual features over 400 real-life clinical pictures and step-by-step instructions. Plus, we added videos of IV techniques in difficult patients accessible with a quick QR code scan that comes with the Manual. The videos feature a range of little known tricks I learned during the AIDS pandemic in patients in whom IV access was nearly impossible, such as reverse Esmarch, double tourniquet, triple tourniquet, bending IV catheters, and more.   While ultrasound guidance has been immensely helpful in securing an IV in patients with difficult IVs, nothing beats quick traditional IV access with a pair of experienced hands equipped with tips and tricks featured by pros. I believe that everyone should see what we created and have one at their clinic for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/efcYY9Qy Greetings!

Why hospitals continue to choose for Philips Kitten scanner ‘It means that we can get our scans done more quickly, the images are better quality and getting [the young patients] in the scanner is much easier’ Full read in below post👇 #philips #ambientexperience #design

The mission is to teach YOU integration of imaging concepts into YOUR practice; where the science and business intersect. Most realize Colin Rigney PT, DPT, OCS, RMSK and myself teach MSK ultrasound, but we are also partners in 5 successful clinics that utilize MSK ultrasound with physical therapy and sports medicine. Many people want to know how to get started, but another valid question is: "HOW DO I GET PAID?" 💰 I'm going to help out with this and more. 👉documentation requirements 👉coding 👉reimbursement 👉cash rates 👉whats the overall ROI #mskus #sportsmedicine #physicaltherapy #roistrategies #KnowledgeOutsidetheBox FYI, These businesses strategy PTs are worth a follow...

Here's a still from some really fantastic simulation training delivered by James Coomber, Steph Moreland and the team at Code Red Training in the Lifeskills Bristol Centre. I attended on behalf of World Extreme Medicine. First responders on scene. Two casualties - we split into two teams. Here was the handover (on patient 1) when further help arrived: 32 y/ro female, Mechanism cyclist vs car at pedestrian crossing - head on impact @ approx 40mph. Injuries -Presumed c-spine and head injury.  -Blunt trauma to abdomen -Open book pelvis # -Open R femoral fracture. Signs/ symptoms.  -No external haemorrhage -Airway patient -RR 24, Sats 96 on air, no visible chest wall trauma.  -Clinically shocked, radial pulse 130, thready, pale and peripherally shut down. -Pupils equal and reactive. Responding to Pain Treatment given -High flow oxygen running -T-pod pelvic binder -R Femoral traction splint and exposed bone ends covered.  -Trauma naked skin-scoop plus blizard blanket. Some key learning points: Gain full 360 access early - move car back/pull out from car - ensure scene safety (handbrake/chocs under wheels etc). Expose to fully assess but also early use of blizzard blanket - trauma patients who get cold can’t clot properly, become acidotic and hypocalcaemia and have much worse outcomes (trauma diamond of death). This casualty got very cold! Management of bystanders - delegate wherever possible (i.e. calling ambulance), taking the c spine, crowd control etc. Maintain structured approach with clear roles in 2-operator response team - one operator making initial assessment using MARCH here rather than CABACDE but they’re broadly similar), whilst the other exposing the patient, applying oxygen, monitoring, gaining access etc. Simulation is a such a valuable tool to drill skills under stress!! Practice doesn't make perfect but it does (eventually) make permanent! Code Red Training are running a Trauma CPD day on 9th April in Bristol!
