In this episode of RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, is thrilled to welcome Kesavan Sadacharam, MD, and Allison Fernandez, MD, following the April 2024 publication of their original research paper, “Multisite prospective study of perioperative pain management practices for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in adolescents: Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Improvement Network (SPAIN) Project Report.” Unwarranted variation in health care refers to differences in health care delivery that cannot be attributed to patient illness, medical evidence, or patient preferences. Instead, these variations arise from differing local medical practices, resource availability, and physician decision-making processes. Unwarranted variations can lead to sub-optimal patient outcomes, with some patients receiving unnecessary or harmful treatments while others may not receive beneficial interventions. Two individuals are behind a multi-center collaborative initiative that looks at the utilization of regional anesthesia and pain medicine techniques for ACL reconstruction. Dr. Allison Fernandez is an associate professor at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, practicing pediatric anesthesia, and pediatric acute and chronic pain management. Dr. Fernandez started a video series, Women of Impact in Anesthesia, empowering women in medicine. Dr. Kesavan Sadacharam is a pediatric anesthesiologist and associate professor at Nemours Children's Health, located in Wilmington, DE. He is currently the director of regional anesthesia and practices both acute and chronic pain management. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.
