The opioid crisis has forced anesthesiologists to reconsider pain management strategies, particularly in perioperative care, where opioid administration has long been the default for moderate to severe pain. Yet the risks — including opioid-induced hyperalgesia, respiratory depression, prolonged hospital stays, and long-term dependence — have become too significant to ignore. Neuraxial anesthesia offers an opioid-sparing alternative that not only matches but, in many cases, exceeds the effectiveness of systemic opioids in achieving pain control — all while reducing the likelihood of opioid-related complications.

“From a clinical perspective, how do point-of-care ultrasound technologies contribute to improved patient safety outcomes?”    📢Point-of-care ultrasound can give physicians critical information that can help them deliver treatment with greater precision and confidence. During Patient Safety Awareness Week, Chris Thom, MD, RDMS, gives his perspective on how ultrasound can enhance anesthesia administration.     #HealthcareSafety #PSAW25 #PatientsFirst 

“What challenges do healthcare providers face in adopting new technologies, and how can product innovation help bridge these gaps?”    📣Advanced ultrasound imaging technologies can enhance patient safety, but integrating these tools into medical workflows can be challenging. This Patient Safety Awareness Week, Chris Thom, MD, RDMS, shares key strategies that can make this process easier, resulting in better outcomes and safer procedures.      #HealthcareSafety #PSAW25 #PatientSafety 

I am excited to present at LSI USA, where I will share how our market-defining AI-powered ultrasound technology is transforming procedural guidance and bedside diagnostics. This event brings together top MedTech innovators, and I look forward to connecting with partners and prospective collaborators to explore new opportunities for growth and innovation. #Medtech #Healthtech #LSIAlumni #LSIUSA25

📢It’s Patient Safety Awareness Week, and RIVANNA seeks to recognize initiatives that improve patient outcomes.     A recent quality improvement project sought to reduce postdural puncture headaches. With Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles and real-time feedback, the initiative was able to achieve sustained patient care improvements. This approach offers a scalable model for safety and care improvements.     Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eeNBjxRq     #SafePatients #PSAW25 #PatientSafety 

Chris Thom, MD, RDMS — Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine — discusses the pivotal role of clinical trials in advancing medical care. Clinical trials, even at the feasibility stage, lay the groundwork for breakthroughs that reshape patient care. These trials provide the critical insights needed to improve outcomes, integrate innovations into complex hospital ecosystems, and deliver tangible benefits to patients. Our feasibility trials are part of a legacy of medical progress. By building incrementally and refining processes, we’re ensuring ultrasound technology can be a reliable, accessible tool in emergency departments, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes. 🔍 Follow us for updates on the future of diagnostic imaging in emergency medicine. #EmergencyMedicine #ClinicalTrials #Ultrasound

📣During Patient Safety Awareness Week, RIVANNA seeks to highlight the importance of patient safety culture in hospital settings.    This culture reduces medical errors while improving patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. Comprehensive training, leadership commitment, effective communications, and transparency in error reporting are critical strategies that ensure a safer environment for patients and providers.
