Anaesthesia consultant / interventional pain physician with main focus on trauma / orthopedic anesthesia and persistant postoperative pain

[Swisstrauma @Swisstrauma]

Excited to launch the first transitional pain clinic in Switzerland today!
All orthopedic patients with prolonged postoperative pain have now access to specialist pain care within 2 weeks.

A pilot that aims at rapid expansion to all surgical patients of CHUV University Hospital.

That’s were the transitional pain service will (hopefully) bring the difference.
Starting next Monday in our hospital 🤞

Do you do spinal anesthesia in patients with aortic stenosis?

If yes, what’s your cut-off (gradient or aortic valve area)?
