RIVANNA

??It’s Patient Safety Awareness Week, and RIVANNA seeks to recognize initiatives that improve patient outcomes.?? ? A recent quality improvement project sought to reduce postdural puncture headaches. With Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles and real-time feedback, the initiative was able to achieve sustained patient care improvements. This approach offers a scalable model for safety and care improvements.?? ? Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eeNBjxRq? ? ?#SafePatients #PSAW25 #PatientSafety?

Chris Thom, MD, RDMS — Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine — discusses the pivotal role of clinical trials in advancing medical care. Clinical trials, even at the feasibility stage, lay the groundwork for breakthroughs that reshape patient care. These trials provide the critical insights needed to improve outcomes, integrate innovations into complex hospital ecosystems, and deliver tangible benefits to patients. Our feasibility trials are part of a legacy of medical progress. By building incrementally and refining processes, we’re ensuring ultrasound technology can be a reliable, accessible tool in emergency departments, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes. ??

In pain management, a singular approach rarely addresses every patient’s unique needs. Combining neuraxial anesthesia with systemic analgesics can optimize pain control while reducing the overall dosage of systemic medications — decreasing side effects like sedation, nausea, and respiratory depression. ????????????????????????? ???????? ??????????????: Neuraxial anesthesia offers targeted, localized pain relief, while systemic analgesics address broader pain pathways. ????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????: Combining methods lowers the required dose of systemic opioids, mitigating risks of opioid-induced hyperalgesia and dependence. ??????????????????? ?????????????????????? ??????????????????: Lower systemic dosages reduce the impact on blood pressure and heart rate, which can be crucial for high-risk patients. ????????????????????? ??????????????????: Neuraxial techniques can offer immediate relief, while systemic agents extend pain control post-procedure. But precision is key. Ultrasound-guided neuraxial anesthesia supports accurate catheter placement, improving drug distribution and reducing the need for higher systemic doses.
