Episode 49: High Reliability with Peter Pronovost
In this episode, episode 49, I welcome Dr. Peter Pronovost to the show to discuss the high reliability movement and how it relates to healthcare. Dr. Pronovost is one of the world’s foremost experts on patient safety and we discuss how a hospital can be as reliably safe as an aircraft carrier and how best to approach an angry patient in the ICU.
Episode 48: TAVRs with Clint Tippett
In this episode, episode 48, I welcome Dr. Clint Tippett to the show. Dr. Tippett is a cardiac anesthesiologist with an interest in anesthesia for Transcutaneous Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and we discuss the approach to anesthesia for these cases including preoperative planning, intraoperative management, and post-operative concerns.
Regarding stroke risk here is an editorial (Thanks to Stephen Freiberg for providing this link): http://circinterventions.ahajournals.org/content/8/6/e002801
And Dr. Tippett wanted to add that early studies of the 1st and second generation valves had higher stroke rates than SAVR, however the most current genreration valves(Edwards Sapien 3 and Medtronic Evolut R) both have been shown to have not significantly different stroke rates from TAVR.(Surtavi trial and this observational study http://thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(16)30073-3.pdf).
Finally, when discussing benefits of TAVR, we should have mentioned a significantly lower risk of post-op AFib in addition to lower bleeding risk and lower rates of AKI.
