Anaesthesia is increasingly being used in non-operating room anaesthesia settings. This brings additional challenges for anaesthetists who may be working in unfamiliar settings that aren't geared towards anaesthesia delivery. How can we improve safety for patients and clinicians and make anaesthesia more adaptable beyond the OR? Our new anaesthesia workstation is rising to meet these challenges - launching in Europe on 25th September. Watch this space! #Mindray #anesthesia #PerioperativeCare

Foal Imprinting: Lessons for Hospital Healthcare This past weekend with camera phone in hand I captured the delicate beauty of our barn’s newest arrival – a charming foal taking its first tentative steps – I found myself reflecting on the profound significance of those early moments in a young horse's life. Little did I know, these reflections would lead me to uncover unexpected parallels between the world of foal imprinting and the realm of hospital healthcare or maybe it was the hour ride home 😊. While the concept of foal imprinting may seem far removed from the world of hospital healthcare, there are surprising parallels that can be drawn. Just as the first two (2) hours of a foal's life are critical for establishing a bond with humans, the initial interactions between healthcare providers and patients can profoundly influence the patient's experience and outcomes. Like foals, patients are also highly sensitive to their environment during their time in the hospital. Every aspect of their surroundings – from the cleanliness of their room to the demeanor of their caregivers – can influence their emotional well-being and recovery process. Just as foals receive strong environmental influences during the critical 166-hour period after they are born, patients are continuously shaped by their experiences within the hospital setting. Establishing a strong bond between healthcare providers and patients is essential for quality care. Just as foal imprinting creates lifelong connections, relationships in healthcare impact patient outcomes and satisfaction. Whether caring for a newborn foal or a hospital patient, early moments matter. Being present, attentive, and compassionate creates an environment where patients feel supported in their healthcare journey. #parellinaturalhorsemanship #horses #foals #animallove #healthcare #patientcare

Capnographs measure exhaled carbon dioxide, providing real-time data on a patient’s breathing and detecting issues like esophageal intubation, where oxygen fails to reach the lungs. For over 30 years, capnography has been essential in high-income countries, reducing anesthesia-related complications and deaths. However, in low-resource settings, there is often a 100% capnography gap, defined as the difference between the need for capnographs and their availability. Addressing this gap requires global health organizations, governments and healthcare systems to prioritize safer anesthesia practices. Innovations like the Smile Train-Lifebox Capnograph, tailored for low-resource settings, are a step forward, but more progress is needed. Including capnography in the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, alongside pulse oximetry, would be a crucial move toward improving patient safety and achieving universal access to this essential technology.

🌍 Rethinking Anesthesia's Environmental Impact 🌿 In recent discussions, a spotlight has been cast on the environmental implications of anesthesia. The narrative seems to be painting anesthesia as a significant villain in the fight against climate change. Before jumping to conclusions, it's important to consider a broader perspective, such as this image: Highlighted amidst a sea of surgical waste, is a sevoflurane vaporizer. This visual serves as a poignant reminder that the issue is far more complex than it appears. How can we, as an anesthesia community, innovate and adopt more sustainable practices without compromising patient care? And is Anesthesia really a significant contributor to our environmental footprint? #Sustainability #HealthcareInnovation #EnvironmentalImpact #Anesthesia #MedicalWaste
