Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.

Sterile Processing Departments (SPDs) remain the backbone of safe surgical care, yet across the country, they're still routinely left out of early decision-making around products, construction, staffing, and case planning. As hospitals juggle tighter margins, higher patient acuity, and growing procedural demands, the consequences of excluding SPD voices become unmistakably real—showing up in daily workloads, rising stress, and risks to patient care. Misalignment between SPD and the OR has already led to inefficiencies, delays, and even high-dollar liability cases in recent years.How can healthcare organizations ensure SPD teams finally get the visibility, influence, and collaboration they need to support safer, more efficient surgical operations?That question sits at the center of this episode of ConCensis. Host Daniel Litwin, the Voice of B2B at MarketScale, speaks with healthcare writer and journalist Kara L. Nadeau to explore her recent reporting on why hospital leaders must give SPDs a meaningful seat at the table. Their discussion explores the root causes of SPD invisibility, the organizational risks of ignoring their expertise, and the practical steps hospitals can begin taking today to close communication gaps across departments.Top insights from the talk…Where SPDs are excluded—and why it matters: From supply chain purchasing to construction planning to surgical case scheduling, Nadeau details the systemic blind spots that keep SPDs out of essential conversations, often until it's too late.The role of data in SPD advocacy: SPD professionals widely report lacking the analytics needed to justify staffing, equipment upgrades, workflow changes, or operational needs to leadership—a gap that directly impacts patient safety and efficiency.How hospitals can build cross-department champions: Nadeau highlights examples of organizations where perioperative leaders, infection prevention teams, and executives proactively champion SPD involvement—and how simple actions, like executive walkthroughs, can transform understanding overnight.Kara L. Nadeau is a veteran healthcare writer and journalist with more than 20 years of experience translating complex clinical, operational, and financial topics into clear, impactful content for the healthcare industry. She serves as a senior contributing editor for Healthcare Purchasing News and Medical Laboratory Observer, specializing in sterile processing, supply chain, perioperative services, and clinical laboratory trends. As founder of KLN Communications, she partners with healthcare organizations—from medical device companies to health systems—to produce research-driven thought leadership, case studies, and executive-level storytelling.

Poster Title: The High Cost of Understaffing: A Case Study in Surgical Pathology Consequences   Authors: Emily Nangano, MS, PA(ASCP)cm; Gillian Bass; Rob Terranova Abstract: Laboratories are the diagnostic backbone of healthcare, yet staffing decisions are often driven by budget constraints rather than operational needs. This case study examines the real-world consequences of delayed staffing action within the anatomic pathology department at a large academic medical center. Faced with a predicted shortfall in grossing coverage due to reduced resident support and unchanged PA staffing levels, institutional leadership opted against proactive hiring. As a result, grossing FTEs fell from 6.5 to 3.5, and histology staffing experienced a drop to 3 technicians from the usual 9 due to attrition and burnout. This staffing collapse led to turnaround time delays of up to 6–8 weeks and forced the lab to outsource specimen processing. Over the following seven months, the institution spent nearly $4 million on reference lab services. Staff morale declined sharply, clinician trust eroded, and senior PAs and histotechs resigned. Even after additional staff were hired, it took more than a year to stabilize operations. This poster presents supporting data, including FTE changes, outsourcing costs, and turnaround time impacts. It also explores how temporary, qualified locum tenens staffing solutions—such as Pathologists' Assistants and histotechnologists, and cytologists—can help bridge coverage gaps and prevent costly disruptions. Ultimately, this case underscores the critical importance of timely, proactive staffing strategies. The hidden costs of under-resourcing the laboratory go beyond dollars—they affect staff well-being, institutional reputation, and patient care outcomes.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in Virginia, and some communities in Hampton Roads — including nearby rural areas — face persistent challenges in diagnosis and access to specialty care.

On each of these mini episodes, Catherine and I chat about a new article or new surgical technique in the field of sports medicine. We'll give you our quick take on the most recent data and how this data will impact our practice. Today, we're discussing a brand-new paper hot off the press titled: “Predictors of Tunnel Widening After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction” published in the November 2025 issue of AJSM. This study digs into why femoral and tibial tunnels enlarge after ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts – and what anatomic and surgical factors might be driving it.Tunnel widening matters: it impacts revision surgery, graft stability, and in some cases early failures. So, this is a clinically meaningful topic. We will start with some background. Tunnel widening after ACL reconstruction is not new…but why it happens is debated. There are a few proposed mechanisms:·       Biologic factors: synovial fluid ingress, cytokines, graft necrosis, remodeling.·       Mechanical factors: graft motion (“windshield wiper” / “bungee effect”), repetitive shear.·       Anatomic factors: posterior tibial slope increasing anterior tibial translation forces.·       Surgical factors: fixation method, tunnel position, graft choice (hamstring vs BTB or Quad). This study asked three key questions:1.     Does posterior tibial slope (PTS) predict tunnel widening?2.     Do meniscus root tears contribute?3.     Does adding a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) influence tunnel change? ·       This is the first large cohort looking at all these together over 2 years, with both tibial and femoral tunnel measurements. ·       The study included 307 patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft. The femoral and tibial tunnels were measured immediately postop and again at 2 years.  Medial and lateral posterior tibial slope was measured on long-leg lateral radiographs.  The authors also looked at the incidence of additional LET, meniscus root injury and BMI.·       They used univariate and multivariate regression to determine independent predictors.So, what did they find? Tune in and enjoy the episode!

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dr. Van Wyk discusses the latest updates in traumatic brain injury (TBI) management, focusing on insights from the CRASH-3 trial, the use of TXA, hypertonic saline, and sodium bicarbonate. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring intracranial pressure and the potential for surgical interventions in austere environments. The conversation also touches on the controversial topic of seizure prophylaxis and end-of-life considerations in TBI care.TakeawaysDr. Van Wyk is a neurologist with extensive experience in TBI management.The CRASH-3 trial provides insights into TXA's effectiveness in TBI patients.Moderate TBI patients may benefit more from TXA than severe cases.Dosing protocols for TXA are still under discussion, with traditional methods being preferred.Hypertonic saline is recommended for TBI management, but higher concentrations may be beneficial.Sodium bicarbonate can be an effective alternative for managing ICP.Prophylactic use of hypertonic saline is debated but may be reasonable in certain cases.Seizure prophylaxis is not universally recommended but can prevent complications in TBI patients.Monitoring ICP through optic nerve sheath diameter is evolving, with trends being more useful than absolute values.Surgical interventions for TBI may be necessary in austere environments, but should be approached with caution.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Traumatic Brain Injury Management02:00 Insights from the CRASH-3 Trial06:43 Dosing Protocols for TXA in TBI11:28 Hypertonic Saline: Concentration and Administration17:21 Alternative Treatments for Increased ICP22:58 Prophylactic Sodium Management in TBI25:17 Seizure Prophylaxis in Traumatic Brain Injury30:04 Monitoring Intracranial Pressure Non-Invasively35:17 Surgical Interventions for Elevated ICP42:10 End-of-Life Decisions in Severe TBIFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠

In this episode, we break down the upcoming CMS policy that will reduce work RVUs for nearly all non–time-based surgical CPT codes beginning January 1st. Dr. Chris Childers, surgical oncologist and health-policy expert, and Christian Shaughnessy, ACS Senior VP for Advocacy, join us to explain what these cuts mean for surgeons in both private practice and employed models. We explore why CMS believes surgeons are becoming “more efficient,” and why newly published data suggest the opposite may be true. Our guests outline the downstream financial, workforce, and patient-access implications of this unprecedented policy shift.

Contributor: Megan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: Assess first: confirm the hook isn't near vital structures. Automatic subspecialty consult for eye involvement or proximity to carotid artery, radial artery, peritoneum, testicle, or urethra Barbed hook: cannot be pulled back through the entry without disengaging the barb Removal Techniques String-Pull: best for superficial, single-barbed hooks Depress shank and eye of hook to disengage barb and then pull string taut and jerk suddenly along the long axis Can only be used when the hook is in a body part that can be firmly secured so it won't move during the procedure Little or no anesthesia needed Push-Through & Snip: best choice when barb is near the skin surface Anesthetize first and advance the hook forward until the barb emerges. Cut off the barb and then back hook out Small exit wound, no sutures needed Needle Cover: for larger hooks that are superficial Anesthetize first and then slide an 18 or 20-gauge needle along the hook until the bevel covers the barb. Then back out the needle and hook together Cut-it-out: last resort Make an incision along the body of hook to barb and then remove hook Adjuncts: Hydrodissection with lidocaine along the tract can ease removal Post-Procedure Irrigate thoroughly and apply antibiotic ointment Routine prophylaxis not needed because complications are rare Consider prophylactic antibiotics if hook is deeply embedded in high-risk area or contaminated by fresh water or salt water References Aiello LP, Iwamoto M, Guyer DR.

New NEJM insights on asymptomatic carotid stenosis

CardioNerds (Dr. Kelly Arps, Dr. Naima Maqsood, and Dr. Elizabeth Davis) discuss chronic AF management with Dr. Edmond Cronin. This episode seeks to explore the chronic management of atrial fibrillation (AF) as described by the 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines. The discussion covers the different AF classifications, symptomatology, and management including medications and invasive therapies. Importantly, the episode explores current gaps in knowledge and where there is indecision regarding proper treatment course, as in those with heart failure and AF. Our expert, Dr. Cronin, helps elucidate these gaps and apply guideline knowledge to patient scenarios. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah.

Pearls Review the guidelines- Catheter ablation is a Class I recommendation for select patient groups  Appropriately recognize AF stages- preAF conditions, symptomatology, classification system (paroxysmal, persistent, long-standing persistent, permanent)  Be familiar with the EAST-AFNET4 trial, as it changed the approach of rate vs rhythm control  Understand treatment approaches- lifestyle modifications, management of comorbidities, rate vs rhythm control medications, cardioversion, ablation, pulmonary vein isolation, surgical MAZE  Sympathize with patients- understand their treatment goals  Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Davis.    What are the stages of atrial fibrillation?   The stages of AF were redefined in the 2023 guidelines to better recognize AF as a progressive disease that requires different strategies at the different therapies  Stage 1 At Risk for AF: presence of modifiable (obesity, lack of fitness, HTN, sleep apnea, alcohol, diabetes) and nonmodifiable (genetics, male sex, age) risk factors associated with AF  Stage 2 Pre-AF: presence of structural (atrial enlargement) or electrical (frequent atrial ectopy, short bursts of atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter) findings further pre-disposing a patient to AF  Stage 3 AF: patient may transition between these stages  Paroxysmal AF (3A): intermittent and terminates within ≤ 7 days of onset  Persistent AF (3B): continuous and sustained for > 7 days and requires intervention  Long-standing persistent AF (3C): continuous for > 12 months   Successful AF ablation (3D): freedom from AF after percutaneous or surgical intervention  Stage 4 Permanent AF: no further attempts at rhythm control after discussion between patient and clinician   The term chronic AF is considered obsolete and such terminology should be abandoned   What are common symptoms of AF?   Symptoms vary with ventricular rate, functional status, duration, and patient perception  May present as an embolic complication or heart failure exacerbation  Most commonly patients report palpitations, chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue, or lightheadedness. Vague exertional intolerance is common  Some patients also have polyuria due to increased production of atrial natriuretic peptide  Less commonly can present as tachycardia-associated cardiomyopathy or syncope  Cardioversion into sinus rhythm may be diagnostic to help determine if a given set of symptoms are from atrial fibrillation to help guide the expected utility of more aggressive rhythm control strategies.   What are the current guidelines regarding rhythm control and available options?  COR-LOE 1B: In patients with reduced LV function and persistent (or high burden) AF, a trial of rhythm control should be recommended to evaluate whether AF is contributing to the reduced LV function   COR-LOE 2a-B: In patients with reduced LV function and persistent (or high burden) AF, a trial of rhythm control should be recommended to evaluate whether AF is contributing to the reduced LV function. In patients with a recent diagnosis of AF (

Do you have a “hopeless” retained root you're ready to extract? Think implants, dentures, or bridges are the only way forward? What if there's a way to save that tooth — predictably and biologically? In this episode, Dr. Vala Seif shares his experience with the Surgical Extrusion Technique — a game-changing approach that lets you reposition the root coronally to regain ferrule and restore teeth once thought impossible to save. Jaz and Dr. Seif dive into case selection, atraumatic technique, stabilization, and timing, all guided by Dr. Seif's own SAFE/SEIF Protocol, developed from over 200 successful cases. https://youtu.be/2TyodqgAP9w Watch PDP249 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When checking a ferrule, consider height, thickness, and location of functional load. Upper teeth: prioritize palatal ferrule. Lower teeth: prioritize buccal. Tip: do a partial surgical extrusion, rotate the tooth 180°, then stabilize. Key Takeaways Surgical extrusion is a technique-sensitive procedure that requires careful planning. Case selection is crucial for the success of surgical extrusion. A crown-root ratio of 1:1 is ideal for surgical extrusion. Patients are often more cooperative when they see surgical extrusion as their last chance to save a tooth. Surgical extrusion can be more efficient than orthodontic extrusion in certain cases. The importance of ferrule in dental restorations cannot be overstated. Proper case selection is crucial for successful outcomes. Atraumatic techniques are essential for preserving tooth structure. The 'Safe Protocol' offers a structured approach to surgical extrusion. Patient communication is key to managing expectations. Flowable composite is preferred for tooth fixation post-extraction. Understanding root morphology is important for successful extractions.

Send us a textIn this episode Dr. Murali Premkumar (Texas Children's) presents an Explore/CHNC analysis of stricture formation after surgical NEC using 2010–2024 CHND data (2,411 surgical NEC infants). Overall CHNC stricture incidence ≈31% with marked inter-center variability (adjusted center rates ~24–38%). Multivariable analysis identified lower gestational age and stoma/laparotomy as associated with higher stricture risk, while initial peritoneal drainage associated with lower risk; Hispanic ethnicity showed lower unadjusted risk. A predictive model yielded AUC 0.67, highlighting missing variables (antibiotic duration, feeding practices). Practical implications: use these benchmarks to counsel families, generate hypotheses, and target QI by studying low-risk centers.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

“I just think there needs to be more awareness of the job itself and also just changing the culture of surgery that tends to be a little more negative.”Alyssa Ellis built a powerful digital community by doing what healthcare often struggles with: meeting clinicians where they are. In this HLTH 2025 interview, she shares how Beyond Assisting is using short-form content, peer-to-peer education, and purpose-driven storytelling to inspire the next generation of surgical techs and change the OR culture from the inside out.

The shocking discovery of blood-stained surgical tools at a Colorado hospital is a wake-up call for every dental practice. When sterilization falls behind, even briefly, safety can break down fast and dentistry faces the same risks, especially with short staffing, rushed schedules, and inconsistent infection control habits. In this episode, Kevin Henry and infection control expert Mary Govoni, CDA, RDH, discuss how incidents like this happen and why dental teams must stay alert. They talk through common failures in instrument processing, gaps in PPE use, and how post-pandemic complacency has led to rising safety concerns in many practices. Mary explains the importance of proper onboarding, reliable training, and strong infection control routines especially as respiratory illnesses surge and demands on clinical teams increase. She also addresses often-missed issues such as waterline testing and how dental assistants can identify red flags and advocate for safer practices.
