Today I'm joined by Eric Cohen, CEO at Merchant Advocate. We break down why credit card processing is one of the most overlooked expense lines in dealerships, how 60–70% of stores are overpaying, and which “non-negotiable” fees are actually negotiable. Eric explains where the hidden charges live, how to audit statements properly, and why transparency matters more than ever in a largely unregulated space. The payoff: real strategies dealers can use to reclaim margin without cutting people or growth. This episode is brought to you by: 1.

If you're a man in your 50s, 60s, or 70s waking up at night to pee, planning your day around bathroom access, or quietly worrying about erections and testosterone, this episode is for you. Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Ravi Munver (Hackensack University Medical Center) to break down what's actually driving urinary symptoms, how to tell “prostate vs bladder,” when waiting too long can permanently weaken your bladder, and how today's BPH procedures compare—especially Aquablation (high-pressure, room-temperature waterjet therapy).What you'll learn in this episode• Why BPH symptoms can start earlier than most men think (and why more men are finally talking about it)• Why prostate size does NOT equal symptom severity (big prostate ≠ big problem… always)• How to distinguish “prostate obstruction” vs overactive bladder—and why you can't reliably do this without proper testing• The “danger zone”: when untreated obstruction can lead to a weakened/crippled bladder• Medication options: what each class does, who it's for, and the most common side effects• The full “toolbox” of procedures—from office-based options to the most durable surgical solutions• Why Aquablation is changing the conversation (symptom relief + low sexual side effects + broad size range)Episode chapters (timestamps)00:00:00 00:02:00 Why younger men are showing up with urinary symptoms Prostate growth patterns (growth early, pause, then growth again in the 40s); increased awareness, openness, and access to information.00:07:00 “Blame the organ you have” — prostate vs overactive bladder Why symptoms overlap; why only a clinician can truly differentiate causes.00:10:00 When should a man see a urologist? When symptoms interfere with life (work, travel, sleep). The real issue is often difficulty returning to sleep.00:13:00 The risk of waiting: bladder decompensation How long-term obstruction can lead to a weakened bladder and urinary retention.00:18:00 The holistic patient scenario + why objective testing matters Why symptoms can “seem better” while retention worsens; importance of measuring PVR and other tests.00:21:00 Medications for BPH—pros/cons• Alpha blockers: tamsulosin (Flomax), alfuzosin, silodosin (Rapaflo)• 5-alpha reductase inhibitors: finasteride, dutasteride• Tadalafil (Cialis) daily 5 mg: dual benefits for BPH + erectile function00:31:00 The modern BPH procedure toolbox TURP as the historical “gold standard,” plus lasers, robotic options, office-based procedures, and newer technologies.00:36:00 What men care about most when choosing a procedure Incontinence risk, erectile dysfunction risk, ejaculatory changes, irritative symptoms, and durability/retreatment rates.00:38:00 Robotic Simple Prostatectomy — what “simple” actually means Removing the obstructing inner tissue while leaving the capsule; major symptom relief for large prostates, with tradeoffs (especially ejaculation).00:43:00Aquablation explained (high-pressure water therapy) Image-guided treatment planning + robotic waterjet tissue removal with minimal thermal damage.00:48:00 Durability and size range Discussion of longer-term data vs TURP and why Aquablation can treat very large prostates.00:51:00 If Aquablation isn't available—what's next best?

In this episode, the CardioNerds (Dr. Rachel Goodman, Dr. Shazli Khan, and Dr. Jenna Skowronski) discuss a case of AMI-shock with a focus on listing for heart transplant with faculty expert Dr. Kelly Schlendorf. We dive into the world of pre-transplant management, discuss the current allocation system, and additional factors that impact transplant timing, such as sensitization. We conclude by discussing efforts to increase the donor pool. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls The current iteration of heart allocation listing is based on priority, with status 1 being the highest priority. The are multiple donor and recipient characteristics to consider when listing a patient for heart transplantation and accepting a heart offer. Desensitization is an option for patients who need heart transplantation but are highly sensitized. Protocols vary by center. Acceptance of DCD hearts is one of many efforts to expand the donor pool Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Rachel Goodman Once a patient is determined to be a candidate for heart transplantation, how is priority determined? The current iteration of heart listing statuses was implemented in 2018. Priority is determined by acuity, with higher statuses indicating higher acuity and given higher priority. Status 1 is the highest priority status, and Status 7 is inactive patients. (1,2) What criteria should be considered in organ selection when listing a patient for heart transplant? Once it is determined that a patient will be listed for heart transplantation, there are certain criteria that should be assessed. These factors may impact pre-transplant care and/or donor matching (3). (1) PVR (2) Height/weight (3) Milage listing criteria (4) Blood typing/cPRA/HLA typing What is desensitization and why would it be considered? Desensitization is an attempt to reduce or remove anti-HLA antibodies in the recipient. It is done to increase the donor pool. In general, desensitization is reserved for patients who are highly sensitized. Desensitization protocols vary by transplant center, and some may opt against it. When considering desensitization, it is important to note two key things: first, there is no promise that it will work, and second desensitization involves the use of immunosuppressive agents, thereby putting patients at increased risk of infection and cytopenia. (4) Can you explain DCD and DBD transplant? DBD: donor that have met the requirements for legal definition of brain death. DCD: donors that have not met the legal definition of brain death but have been determined to have circulatory death. Because the brain death criteria have not been met, organ recovery can only take place once death is confirmed based on cessation of circulatory and respiratory function. Life support is only withdrawn following declaration of circulatory death—once the heart has stopped beating and spontaneous respirations have stopped.

Welcome back to the tasty morsels of critical care podcast. This is the second of 2 parts on PE in critical care. The first focused on risk stratification and this one will focus on management. There is a link to a transcript of a more comprehensive talk with references on emergencymedicineireland.com for those keen enough to dive a little deeper. As noted in the last podcast this one leans very heavily on “in the my experience” level of the evidence pyramid and should be weighted as such. For this discussion I’m going to assume your patient is in the ESC High risk category, ie hypotensive with a PE on imaging and you’re satisfied that the PE is causing the hypotension. I do believe there is a tiny cohort of the PE population who warrant aggressive reperfusion even with a normal appearing BP but at this stage I cannot say I have any evidence or guidance to really identify who they are and back that up. For the original talk I gave on this to an EM audience, I split the interventions into helpful , distractions, and not helpful. It was probably a little bit of a provocative division if I’m honest. The slide is on the site for reference and viewing it will likely make what follows more edifying. For the resus room patient in the first 30-60 mins I feel comfortable to standby my assertion that a short list of “helpful interventions” should includes lysis, anticoagulation, noradrenaline, oxygen and some CPR. In the ICU however we’re often present both at the first 30-60 mins but over next hours and many of the items on the “distraction” list become a little more relevant with time. Number 1 on my list of helpful interventions is thrombolysis. As mentioned, if you have found PE and you have satisfied yourself that the sickness and hypotension you’re seeing is caused by that PE then you need to have a good reason not give thrombolysis. The evidence base is not high level RCTs but it is a class 1 recommendation on the ESC guidelines and the list of class 1 interventions is really quite short. In the 25 year old in resus with a massive PE day 3 after an arthroscopy the decision here seems pretty straightforward. However in the post trauma patient in the ICU with massive PE with a small traumatic SAH and an improving SDH and a recent laparotomy then the decision is orders of magnitude more complex and you may well find a very good reason why lysis is not an option. There is not a straightforward answer to lysis because it will vary from patient to patient but I would emphasis that it is a question worth dedicating a decent chunk of your cognitive bandwidth to. Dosing in an unstable patient is often 10mg of alteplase followed by 90mg over 2 hrs. Dosing in a cardiac arrest situation is typically a 50mg bolus. Anticoagulation is one of the other class 1 recommendations on the ESC list. Opinions vary on agent of choice. With my ICU hat on I will almost always advocate for UFH as I feel confident that if i stop it, the heparin effect will be gone in a couple of hours when the inevitable bleeding starts. Opinions vary and I know smart people who advocate for LMWH in this scenario with one of the arguments being you probably get more reliable and quicker anti Xa effect. Both the guidelines and your esteemed narrator recommend against volume resuscitation. Dumping a litre of crystalloid into the venous circulation will shift the IVS further towards the left impairing cardiac filling and doing the opposite of what you intended. A much better resuscitation fluid would be noradrenaline. This is remarkably effective in improving BP and perfusion and I have often used it when I am 90% sure the patient has a PE but haven’t quite got the CT scan to prove it. The noradrenaline can also buy you a little time to make a better decision about the lysis and reperfusion, converting what would have been an immediate decision into something that you maybe have more like 30 mins to make. Certainly if the noradrenaline dosage is rising and the right heart is struggling then adrenaline would be my add on inotrope of choice. Of course we know in the ICU we have a plethora of other agents available to us with lots of theoretical advantage on pulmonary vascular resistance etc. They would rarely be my first line, certainly not in the ED population but I would often reach for them a little further down the line once i have a better handle on the physiology and what they might tolerate. Enough to say that staring someone on 0.5mcg/kg/min milrinone as a single agent with a starting BP of 60/40 is not likely to end well in this context Oxygenation is strongly endorsed given its proclivity for reduction in PVR, however intubating someone in this context to facilitate oxygenation is likely to result in a catastrophic haemodynamic collapse. The adage “resuscitate before you intubate” or even “reperfuse before you intubate” has some relevance here. I find CPR to be helpful in the context of massive PE, not simply for the usual reasons of preserving some degree of forward flow but I suspect there is a mechanical effect of breaking up or moving clot more distally. I have frequently seen stuttering intermittent ROSC in this context. I would suggest caution with the mechanical CPR devices as the presence of a liver lac in the context of tPA is unlikely to be well tolerated. While not available or that relevant to the emergency medicine population I do think the addition of nitric in the ventilated ICU patient who develops nasty PE seems like a low risk intervention with potentially massive gains. There is a small RCT of nitric in the spontaneous breathing PE population that did not however show benefit. I put mechanical devices in the “distraction” category in my original talk as I don’t think they have much relevance in the early stage of resuscitation. However if you have kept them alive long enough or if you have a true contraindication to lysis or a failed lysis then they may well have a role. I have found the evidence base so far here decidedly underwhelming and for catheter directed lysis in particular i struggle to see how a mg/hr tpa via a pulmonary catheter is any different than a mg/hr of tpa via a peripheral IV line given that the entire venous return ends up in the pulmonary circulation either way. The thrombectomy devices are certainly more compelling from a physiological perspective and the obvious and dramatic changes in physiology on removal of clot are quite compelling. But they are a tremendous faff requiring a catheter akin to an ECMO catheter to be threaded into the pulmonary circulation. The recent PEERLESS trial gave an average 90 min procedure time emphasizing the need to keep the patient alive long enough to receive the intervention. I do feel this has a role in our management quiver I am just unsure what that role is, but more evidence in the coming years will likely clarify VA ECMO is undoubtedly a fantastic physiological support for a dying PE patient but bear in mind it is almost definitely not available to you in the vast majority of hospitals in the Ireland and the UK. PERT teams are groups of relevant physicians willing to weigh in on difficult PE cases to advise on management. I put PERT teams in the distraction category. And I feel bad about that because they're usually filled with knowledgeable and enthusiastic people . But there are 2 errors I've seen on this that we should be aware of. One is on us as primary clinicians where we outsource the decision to lyse in someone who has a clear indication. This is not necessarily the fault of the PERT team but there is risk to the patient in delaying as it is a tremendous faff trying to get hold of the relevant people and then get them to agree. The second distraction that can happen is the recommendation for interventions in a patient that they have not seen and are not present to. A couple of times I have had to talk people out of IR interventions that frankly were not needed because the patient was getting better with conventional treatment. Do not underestimate the importance of being at the bedside and seeing the patient and evaluating response to treatment. Surgery, in terms of pulmonary embolectomy is the third and final class 1 recommendation in the ESC guidelines for high risk PE. All be it with a very low evidence rating. It gets talked about in papers and guidelines but you're talking about taking someone who is already mostly dead into theatre, lined, anaesthetised, chest opened and onto bypass. There probably is a role for it somewhere and in certain institutions and it's often raised in the context of contraindications to lysis but those same contraindications to lysis usually apply to the 30000 units of heparin you need to get them on bypass. It seems to suffer from the old goldilocks flaw of “not sick enough” for theatre or “too sick” for theatre I have clearly done way beyond my usual brevity in this scenario but honestly didn’t think anyone could tolerate a 3rd part on PE. Full refunds are available on request For further reading it is probably best to visit the original lecture post where the relevant papers are all listed with a little smattering of critical appraisal thrown in for good measure.

Pulmonary valve replacement following the arterial switch operation is rare. However, when necessary, how do techniques of transcatheter valve replacement fare for this indication? Why would average outcomes in this setting be less good than in the typical TPVR tetralogy of Fallot patient? How does the presence of stents in the pulmonary arteries in this patient group affect candidacy for TPVR? Are there ways to predict who might be a candidate for a TPVR vs. surgical PVR before coming to the catheterization lab? These are amongst the questions reviewed and posed to Dr. Stephen Nageotte who is the director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at Loma Linda Children's Hospital in Loma Linda, California.

How do outcomes differ for RRD patients at risk of PVR following PPV alone or combined PPV/scleral buckling? Moderator David Xu, MD, hears from panelists Barton Blackorby, MD, and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, about a recent peer-reviewed paper published in Ophthalmology Retina covering surgical outcomes of patients with RRD who were considered high risk for PVR and underwent either PPV alone or PPV/scleral buckling. After the break, the doctors discuss the specific mechanics of a PPV/scleral buckle that may lead to successful surgery and ask whether this paper helps us better understand risk factors for PVR.

The Medical Research Council (MRC) Development Pathway Funding Scheme (DPFS) has announced an award of £1.2 million funding for clinical research by Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit (CCTU) at UCL. The study is being led by Mahi Muqit, consultant vitreoretinal surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital and honorary clinical lecturer at UCL. The study is an early phase drug discovery that will explore a novel treatment for retinal detachment surgery complicated by scar tissue known as Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR). This novel use of a well-established drug has the potential to reduce or eliminate the retinal scarring from PVR and reduce sight loss. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Mahi Muqit to find out more about this new retinal detachment clinical trial and began by asking Mahi to explain what actually is a detached retina and how the detachment affects people's vision. Mahi went on to outline how the drug used in the new trial will help to reduce retina scarring which will in tern help to reduce some patients vision loss. The retinal detachment clinical trial is due to be set up late 2024 with details being signed posted on the Biomedical Research Centre pages of the Moorfields website with the hope of the study starting in January 2025. More details about Moorfields Eye Hospital can be found on their website - https://www.moorfields.nhs.uk Image: RNIB Connect Radio Bright Green 20th Anniversary Logo

This week we delve into the world of ACHD when we review a recent important work from the multicenter INDICATOR study group assessing the impact on overall outcomes in TOF patients who have their pulmonary valve replaced. Are survival rates improved by replacement of the pulmonary valve in the TOF patient? What about the effect on ventricular tachycardia? What are the proposed mechanisms by which PVR can positively affect this critical outcomes? Are there differences between transcatheter PVR and surgical in this regard? Is there an RV volume that is the 'sweet spot' for PVR? These are amongst the many questions posed to Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at Harvard University, Dr. Anne Marie Valente. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2023.02.052
Welcome to "PICU Doc On Call," a podcast dedicated to current and aspiring intensivists. In this episode, Dr. Pradip Kamat and Dr. Rahul Damania discuss an interesting case of a 16-year-old male with high-grade fever and abdominal pain. The patient also presents with a rash and other concerning symptoms, leading to urgent medical attention. They provide a summary of the key elements from the case, including vital signs, physical examination findings, and laboratory and imaging results.Dr. Kamat then shares his thought process regarding the working diagnosis for this patient, considering several possibilities such as severe bacterial infection, atypical appendicitis or cholecystitis, toxic shock syndrome, and systemic inflammatory processes like Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) and atypical Kawasaki disease.Moving on to the topic of vasopressors, Dr. Damania explains the importance of understanding how these medications work and their specific pharmacological properties. They discuss the classification of shock as cold or warm and the limitations of relying solely on clinical signs to categorize septic shock in children.They highlight the challenges in selecting the appropriate vasopressor, such as a lack of standardization in clinical examination and individual variability in response to medications. They emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach when evaluating and managing pediatric shock patients, considering multiple factors beyond traditional bedside signs.The hosts then engage in a rapid review of pressors, starting with a multiple-choice question regarding the choice of vasoactive infusion for a patient with toxic shock syndrome. They discuss the pros and cons of using norepinephrine (NE) in distributive shock and highlight its vasoconstrictive effects, inotropic activity, and potential side effects.They proceed to compare NE with epinephrine, explaining the differences in their actions on adrenergic receptors and their effects on various circulations. They mention that epinephrine acts on all adrenergic receptors and has hemodynamic and metabolic effects, redirecting cardiac output and increasing myocardial oxygen demand.Lastly, the hosts touch on phenylephrine, a vasopressor that acts on the alpha-1 receptor and elevates systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). They stress the importance of securing central line access when administering vasopressors to avoid harm to peripheral and systemic tissues.In conclusion, this episode provides valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of a complex pediatric case involving high-grade fever, abdominal pain, and shock. The hosts also offer a rapid review of common vasopressors, highlighting their mechanisms of action, pros, and cons.
In this week's episode from SCAI 2023, we speak with Professor Kritvikrom Durongpisitikul of Mahidol University, Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand about their experience in transcatheter and surgical pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). Who is a candidate for each in the present era? Why was surgery associated with higher mortality rates in this work? Should the criteria for transcatheter PVR differ in comparison with surgery? Dr. Durongpisitikul shares his insights in this live session from SCAI which is co-moderated by Dr. Aimee Armstrong of Children's Nationwide Hospital. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jscai.2022.100408
Dr. Jason Hsu from Wills Eye Hospital returns to The Retina Channel to discuss his groups' retrospective study of eyes with advanced retinal detachement (PVR grade C or worse) that underwent retinectomy without lensectomy. Their study showed that 75% of these eyes at 3 months (and 68% at 6 months) had single surgery anatomic success. The study is suggestive that lensectomy and even peripheral vitreous base sheving may not be necessary when doing retinectomy for advanced RD cases. Full reference to the article: Mahmoudzadeh R, Mokhashi N, Anderson H, Patel S, Salabati M, Chiang A, Kuriyan AE, Gupta OP, Mehta S, Garg SJ, Hsu J. Outcomes of Retinectomy without Lensectomy in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy. Ophthalmol Retina. 2023 Jan;7(1):52-58. doi: 10.1016/j.oret.2022.07.008.

CardioNerds join Dr. Samid Muhammad Farooqui, Dr. Hiba Hammad, and Dr. Syed Talal Hussain, from the University of Oklahoma Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program, in Oklahoma City. The fellows will take us in a fascinating discussion of a case of rapidly progressing dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension in a patient with metastatic breast cancer. They will then reveal an interesting etiology of pulmonary hypertension, where the secret was on the wedge! University of Oklahoma faculty and expert in pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular physiology, Dr. Roberto J. Bernardo provides the E-CPR for this episode. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, Dr. Christian Faaborg-Andersen. A septuagenarian female, with a past medical history of metastatic breast adenocarcinoma, presented to the hospital with worsening dyspnea over a period of 3 weeks. She was found to be in rapidly progressive hypoxic respiratory failure with unremarkable chest x-ray, CTA chest, and V/Q scan. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed elevated RVSP and a subsequent right heart catheterization showed pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension with a low cardiac index. She was treated for rapidly progressive RV dysfunction with inotropic support and inhaled pulmonary vasodilators until she decided to pursue comfort measures. Wedge cytology came back positive for malignant cells, confirming a diagnosis of Pulmonary Tumoral Thrombotic Microangiopathy (PTTM). CardioNerds is collaborating with Radcliffe Cardiology and US Cardiology Review journal (USC) for a ‘call for cases', with the intention to co-publish high impact cardiovascular case reports, subject to double-blind peer review. Case Reports that are accepted in USC journal and published as the version of record (VOR), will also be indexed in Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is divided into pre-capillary and post-capillary profiles, where pre-capillary PH is hemodynamically characterized by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) > 20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤ 15 mmHg and a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ≥ 3 Woods Units (WU), and post-capillary PH is defined as mPAP > 20 mmHg, PAWP ≥ 15 mmHg, and PVR can be either < 3 WU (isolated post-capillary PH) or ≥ 3 WU (combined pre- and post-capillary PH). Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) falls under the pre-capillary PH profile. Dyspnea on exertion is the most common manifestation of PH, and the most common initial complain. Other symptoms and physical findings such as venous congestion, peripheral edema, signs of RV dysfunction or syncope present later in the disease course. As such, PH has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of dyspnea, especially in cases of undifferentiated or unexplained dyspnea. PAH is a chronic but progressive condition, where symptoms progress over the course of months to years. Subacute or rapidly progressive forms of PH (symptoms rapidly worsening over the course of weeks) should warrant consideration for alternative etiologies (i.e., pulmonary embolism or a different cardiopulmonary disorder as the main d...

Britton and I visit about life after divorce, the loss of our fathers and how unprocessed pain can show up. We share from our personal experiences and some of what we have learned along the way.What is the result of unprocessed pain and/or unresolved conflict? Often times it can manifest in this “tool” known as the PVR triangle. A PVR triangle is having a powerless mindset to the circumstance and, in the absence of dealing with that pain or conflict, we will show up as a persecutor victim, or seeking rescue because we don't believe there's power to change the situation.

Pearls - Patent Ductus Arteriosus & Eisenmenger Syndrome The ductus arteriosus, which is formed from the distal portion of the left sixth arch, is key to fetal circulation because it allows blood to bypass the high resistance pulmonary circuit present in utero. After birth there is a significant drop in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) which generally leads to functional ductal closure within 48 hours (permanent seal takes 2-3 weeks to form). Risk factors for having a PDA include birth before 37 weeks of gestation, trisomy 21, and congenital rubella. A PDA results in a left to right shunt (qP:qS >1) which over time overloads the left side of the heart and causes pulmonary vascular remodeling. The extra workload on the left side of the heart causes left atrial (can cause atrial arrhythmias) and left ventricular dilation. If left untreated you can eventually have shunt reversal due to very high PVR (Eisenmenger physiology). There are some treatment options at this point (pulmonary vasodilators, etc) but it's definitely better to close the PDA before this point. One interesting physical exam finding that can stem from shunt reversal in a hemodynamically significant PDA is differential cyanosis (upper body or pre-ductal saturations will be higher than lower body/post-ductal saturations). You can also see clubbing in the toes but not the hands for the same reason. Meet Our Collaborators!

Many of the current-day operational shifts in retail automotive are driven by consumers' ever-evolving expectations and habits. Therefore, it is essential to 'future-proof' your dealership by putting processes in place now. As a result of A2Z Sync's one-person sales methodology, retailers have been able to expand their businesses. In this episode of the David Spisak Show, we will discuss the one-person sales concept and how it influences the customer experience. As the world adjusts to a new standard, many businesses are having trouble balancing online and in-person encounters, so please join us in welcoming Natalia Giner, CEO of A2Z Sync. The customer service process has been a minefield for auto dealerships. Natalia has worked in the automobile industry for over 20 years. She has brought her expertise to A2Z Sync to provide customers with a revolutionary experience, primarily focusing on developing innovative, client-centric services. She has been in charge of the A2Z platform's development team for the past three years, during which numerous dealers have successfully converted to the One-Person Sales Model. With a background in product development and business consulting, she is well-suited to her role of advising dealers on adapting to the automobile industry's changing face. A2Z Sync set out to transform the traditional retail industry. A2Z Sync provides operational readiness evaluations, extensive in-dealership training, and continuing technical and training assistance to aid its clients in making the switch to a One-Person Sales Model. To ensure the continued success of its software platform, A2Z Sync creates a bespoke implementation plan for each dealer. Key Takeaways The modern automobile customer is impatient for service, wants answers immediately, and values convenience. Thanks to this revolutionary software, a single salesperson can handle the vast majority of a transaction by themselves. Consistent and unified service throughout the journey is crucial to ensuring your dealership and staff offer the most outstanding digital client experience. We will show you how to take these services beyond your dealership's doors while still catering to your customers' needs. Reduced transaction times, greater PVR, more satisfied customers, and lower employee turnover are just some of the benefits one-person sales models provide to dealers. Since they deal with clients one-to-one, they can establish deeper bonds of trust and loyalty. Every salesman has their own system, and it might be anything from one car per month to ten vehicles every month, but Without a clearly defined process, there are likely a hundred different ways of doing things. Many people throw up their hands in frustration when faced with the procedure. However, there is a reason why FedEx and Amazon both adhere to such strict guidelines; these two companies have a secret weapon: a well-defined method. However, from the client's perspective, transparency is also desired. They desire shared authority over a process. But if you don't have a strategy, how can you offer them joint jurisdiction over it? And thus, Not only is it beneficial to the dealer only, but it also benefits the customer because they can do things the way they want. But how can we tell if we are winning or losing if we don't examine the process and identify areas for improvement? Find out how to set your dealership apart by providing a more personalized and exciting experience.

This week we delve into the world of bovine jugular vein grafts for the treatment of pulmonary valve dysfunction and the possible enhanced risk for infective endocarditis. How commonly are these valves affected by endocarditis and does placement at surgery in comparison to the cath lab confer a lower risk for this dreaded complication? What factor was most highly associated with the risk for endocarditis with a bovine jugular valve vein graft for PVR? A description from the team at Cincinnati Children's Hospital is on tap this week! https://doi.org/10.1177/21501351211065363
