The ECG provides critical information that assists in establishing the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and determining the treatment strategy. In acute coronary syndrome, common ECG abnormalities include T-wave tenting or inversion, ST-segment elevation or depression (including J-point elevation in multiple leads), and pathologic Q waves. ECG risk stratification allows appropriate referral of...

Continuous ECG monitoring is currently applied in a variety of critical and non-critical care hospital settings. While early monitoring focused on heart rate measurement and fatal arrhythmia detection in acutely-ill cardiac patients, current ECG monitoring has expanded to include diagnoses of complex arrhythmias, acute myocardial ischemia, and (pharmacologically-induced) prolonged QT intervals in...

ECG monitoring was initially employed in coronary care units during the 1950s and 1960s. Today, it is more broadly applied in a variety of critical and non-critical care hospital settings. Moreover, while early monitoring focused on heart rate measurement and fatal arrhythmia detection in acutely-ill cardiac patients, current ECG monitoring has expanded to include diagnoses of complex arrhythmias,...

COVID-19 infection may have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system by potentially causing myocardial damage, vascular inflammation, and myocardial infarction. The presence of myocardial injury is a poor prognostic sign.  Electrocardiogram, a simple bedside diagnostic test with high prognostic value, and continuous ECG monitoring can be employed to assess early cardiovascular involveme...

COVID-19 infection is a multisystem disease not restricted to the lungs. It may have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system by potentially causing myocardial damage, vascular inflammation, and myocardial infarction. The presence of myocardial injury is a poor prognostic sign. Electrocardiogram, a simple bedside diagnostic test with high prognostic value, can be employed to assess early car...

Most patients who die after surgery are dying on the wards. In fact, EuSOS study looked at over 46,000 patients from just under 500 hospitals in 28 countries and found out that 73% of patients who died were not admitted to a critical care unit. Discover how these outcomes may be improved with Frederic Michard in this Clinical View podcast. This podcast was recorded at ASA 2018 in San Francisco by...

Listen to Bernd Saugel at Euroanesthesia 2022 as he reviews several topics, including blood pressure, what an appropriate target is for a perioperative practitioner and the post-op period and transition of care. This podcast was recorded by TopMedTalk in Milano, Italy at Euroanesthesia 2022. Click here if you would like to listen to it from the TopMedTalk platform.

Intraoperative mortality is now so rare that it's hard to quantify. In fact, if the 30 days after surgery were considered a disease, it would be the third leading cause of death in the United States. About two percent of inpatients over the age of 45 die within a month after surgery. Discover more about postoperative mortality and continuous monitoring with Frederic Michard and Dan Sessler at Euro...

In this podcast, Sadia Khan, Consultant Physician, Clinical Director and Service Director for Cardiology at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and Frank Overdyk, Professor of Anaesthesiology in Charleston, South Carolina, discuss about patient monitoring in the wards.

Lynn Reede, Associate Clinical Professor, Northeastern University Nurse Anesthesia Program, talks about Enhanced Recovery and The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) 2019 Annual Congress in Chicago, Illinois.

What do patients need postoperatively? According to Dr. Anna Batchelor what they require is more nursing.  Nevertheless, when we go to our wards, there is approximately 6 to 10 patients to one nurse. Review how Enhanced Care can fill this gap in this podcast.

There are 4.2 million patients who die within 30 days following surgery on the planet every year: more than HIV, Malaria, and Tuberculosis combined, making it the third leading cause of death.
