An AV fistula is a procedure that connects an artery to a vein in preparation for dialysis. It's a long term solution for dialysis patients and carries a low risk of infection. Always ask for a surgeon trained in microvascular techniques for A-V fistula creation. Cheers🤗 #PlasticSurgeryJourney #avfistula #dialysis #microvascularsugery #reconstructivesurgery

Always a debate whether to fix humeral shaft fractures with an intramedullary nail (IMN) or plate fixation (ORIF)? The Level I evidence in the literature does not show a significant difference in rates of union, reoperation, or radial nerve palsy between IMN and ORIF for humeral shaft fractures. Overall, treatment with IMN results in a lower infection rate, less operative time, and a modestly quicker time to union. The optimal treatment strategy for humeral shaft fractures may be best informed by fracture pattern and surgeon preference. https://lnkd.in/gcDh4Sac

"So, what do you do for a living?" "Oh, I work in sterile processing." "What is that?!" How often have we had that conversation with friends, family, and neighbors? Sometimes we have an answer ready (especially if we get this question a lot), but other times we stop to think about it. What is sterile processing? This answer could be simple: "You know when a person has surgery, and they put those metal tools inside them? We clean and sterilize them so they're safe." Or the answer could be, well, a short novel covering the department's different areas, patient safety, infection prevention, and a little microbiology to really send it home. Maybe you're trying to recruit a friend or family member into the industry (we've all done it!), and you're trying to break it down for them holistically so they can truly understand what it is and why you do it. If you're looking for a resource, look no further than our latest revised blog. Mind you, it doesn't cover EVERYTHING, but we feel it gives a good amount of attention to the basics.

Debris within the bladder is commonly seen on ultrasound. The term debris refers to mobile, echogenic particles seen in urine within the upper tracts or bladder. Because of the wide range of etiologies, the finding of bladder debris on ultrasound is non-specific and can be difficult to interpret clinically. Bladder debris in particular is observed commonly, and is often attributed to infection. Nearly half of pediatric patients undergoing urological evaluation and found to have bladder debris on ultrasound will have a positive urine culture. *Bladder debris seen in transverse view. #Ultrasound #POCUS #Bladder #Bladder_debris #Infection

During recovery from hip arthroscopy, hydrotherapy can be a valuable complement to land-based rehabilitation. However, patients should wait for their incision to heal before entering the water to reduce the risk of infection. Post-operative goals typically focus on developing a posteriorly dominant hip, using the glutes for movement, and strengthening core stability. The specific time frames for hip rehabilitation may vary depending on the protocols set by the surgeon.

The reality of Single Use Endoscopes After the discovery of drug resistant outbreaks caused by contaminated scopes in 2013 and 2016, the industry shifted towards Single-Use scopes as a response to minimize any risk of infection between patients. Or did it? In reality, many GI clinics didn't have the funding available to change their entire process to single-use scopes or felt that reusable scopes were of higher quality, enabling doctors to more accurately treat patients. In the years since the problem was identified, there haven't been any major outbreaks, even with many clinics continuing to use their prior processes. While Single-Use scopes have a place for endoscopy on those who are more susceptible to infection, for general use, reusable scopes are perferred by many. Endosink is here to ensure that reprocessing reusable endocopes starts off with a thorough cleaning that prevents biofilm build up and helps ensure the safety of your technicians and patients. 🌐 Discover how Endosink can transform your practice: https://endosink.com/ #Endosink #EndoscopeCare #MedicalInnovation #WorkflowOptimization #HealthcareTechnology #PatientSafety #Healthcare #Endoscopy #EndoscopyAdvancements #ScopeTechnology #ReprocessingStandards #ErgonomicDesigns #AutomationBenefits #GastroenterologyExperts #ScopeInnovations #ReprocessingGuidelines #PreCleaningProcedures #ErgonomicSolutions #AutomationEfficiency #GastroenterologyCare #ScopeMaintenance #ReprocessingEquipment #PreCleaningStandard #AutomationAdvantages #GastroenterologySpecialists #ScopeHygiene

Understanding and addressing thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) requires a careful approach in the medical field. TGDC comes from the persistence of the thyroglossal duct and usually shows up as a lump in the middle of the neck, just below the hyoid bone. Even though it's often painless, it's important to watch out for potential issues like infection, which can cause tenderness, redness, and trouble swallowing. To figure out if it's TGDC and not something else like branchial cleft cysts or lymphadenopathy, a thorough examination is needed. This helps tailor the right treatments for TGDC effectively. #ThyroglossalDuctCysts #NeckMass #MedicalDiagnosis #SistrunkProcedure #ENTcare #HealthcareManagement #MedicalIntervention #PatientWellBeing #MedicalEducation #ENTsurgery #CystManagement #HealthAwareness
