Podcasts about surgical care

In this episode, we explore practical tips for caring for older adults in the clinical setting through a case-based discussion highlighting common perioperative challenges and strategies for success. We also take a deeper dive into the American College of Surgeons Geriatric Surgery Verification Program, including its goals, impact, and how clinicians can get involved in advancing surgical care for the aging patient population. Take Home Points:  The older adult population is the fastest growing patient population and it is important we focus on patient-centered care for this population, as this is a population that almost all of us will engage with.  If you or your hospital isn't prepared to get verified yet, there are still small processes that can be implemented that can make an impactful difference on your patients. Geriatric Surgery Verification is at the cutting edge of quality improvement. Like other verification programs (trauma, bariatric) patients will soon seek out these centers that can best address their personal needs.

On this episode, spine specialist, Dr. Jasmine Hornberger shares a story of a gentleman who she treated successfully with Cox Technic® before and after back surgery. Jasmine Hornberger, DC Chiropractor, Functional Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master I am a chiropractor, energy healer, and guide for whole-body healing. I founded Everyday Alignment in Grand Haven, Michigan, as a space where people could reconnect with their bodies and find lasting wellness - not just quick fixes. ​With a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College and over 300 hours of post-doctoral training in functional nutrition, I blend evidence-based care with intuitive, heart-centered healing. My approach combines chiropractic techniques like the gentle Cox® traction with holistic tools such as fire cupping, reiki, and sound therapy. My philosophy is simple: the body knows how to heal when we learn how to listen. I create a safe, grounded space for that listening to happen - where your nervous system can regulate, energy can shift, and healing can take root. When you step into my practice, you're not just getting an adjustment - you're being invited back into alignment with yourself. Resources: everyday-alignment.com The Cox 8 Table by Haven Medical

The Ranger Regiment has been at the forefront of efforts to eliminate preventable deaths in pre-hospital settings on the battlefield, highlighting the importance of mastery and continuous rehearsal of basic life-saving skills. The mandate to deliver surgical care to combat patients within an hour has substantially improved survival rates, underscoring the critical nature of rapid medical intervention in combat zones. Continuous in-route care and the presence of paramedics in the field are vital for improving outcomes for military personnel who sustain injuries during combat. The management of extremity trauma, particularly in military settings, presents unique challenges that have led to innovations like temporary vascular shunts and increased focus on preventing osteomyelitis in long-term patient care. Rehabilitation initiatives, such as the Integrated Orthotic Rehabilitation Initiative, are transformative in helping service members return to duty and maintain unit cohesion and operational readiness. The introduction of CCATT (Critical Care Air Transport Teams) has revolutionized the transport of critically injured service members, ensuring they receive the necessary care during transport from the combat zone to medical facilities. Military trauma care from 1993 to 2012 witnessed remarkable advancements, with a decrease in case fatality ratios despite an increase in the severity of injuries, demonstrating improved effectiveness of trauma care systems. Education, collaboration, and technological innovations are crucial in advancing military medicine and enhancing the ability to save lives in combat scenarios, as seen with tools like the REBOA catheter. Tactical healthcare initiatives, such as those adopted by the Ukrainian military, illustrate the ongoing need to adapt and improve combat casualty care in response to different conflict environments and challenges.

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Crystal Wilson to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Crystal Wilson became a certified esthetician and massage therapist after fighting depression while working in corporate America. She later grew a passion for beauty entrepreneurship, creating her own business, the Luxe Beauty and Body Studio and Training Academy. Providing over 1,000 certifications to beauty industry entrepreneurs.    She has also worked with clients of Mia Esthetics and Goals plastic surgery, some of the prominent facilities in Miami and Atlanta. With her experience working and creating an honorable reputation in the surgical community, Crystal has made it a goal to be transparent and authentic with her services, revealing the truth about post-operative surgical care.  With the glorification of plastic surgery, most people aren't aware of the toll it can take on their bodies until after surgery.    The pre-and postoperative period is a critical time for patients to be prepared. As Crystal points out, “post-operative surgical care is more important than the actual surgery because if you don't take care of your body after surgery, you will get infections.” Being properly informed and guided can help reduce the risk of complications and support the surgical recovery process.   I had such a fun time chatting with Crystal. I'm so intrigued by the world of plastic surgery so I had tons of questions to ask her. In this interview Crystal shares:   -How she transitioned from a career in finance to the beauty industry -The different pre-op and post op services that she provides -How to mentally prepare yourself for surgery -The importance of post-operative surgical care -What you should look for in post-op care -How she's educating other practitioners + providing them with valuable resources with her Columbia trips  -And so much more   I learned so much during this interview. If you or someone that you know are considering plastic surgery then definitely send them this chat to listen to. Let's go ahead and jump into this conversation with Crystal and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube.  Enjoy this episode!
