๐จExperienced #regional#anesthesia clinician (anesthesiologist, CRNA, bedside nurse)? Wanna help bring new monitoring technology (objective nerve block monitor) into practice? Know what you want to see in such a device? .(yes, weโre almost there!) Contact here w DM.
BIOPAC Medical Systems LP, a new startup launched from a tech transfer collaboration with Johns Hopkins APL, @HopkinsMedicine, @BIOPACSystems and @BLOCKsynop, is advancing real-time nerve block monitoring to evaluate anesthetic effectiveness. https://t.co/Mu1e71voQr
I have to say something.
All of us who work in a #PedsICU have dedicated our lifeโs work to saving the lives and optimizing survivorship for the most vulnerable population of humans on earth: children.
Children rely on parents, their communities, and their governments to care for them and PROTECT them. They have no control over what happens to them. They rely COMPLETELY on the adults around them to DO THE RIGHT THING.
We in #PedsICU donโt ever want to be needed. But there are things that are out of even the most responsible adultโs control that we are here to try to make right. Complications from cancer. An immune system that is compromised. Accidental trauma. A heart, a liver, kidneys that just wonโt do their job. A birth defect that requires numerous and complex surgeries. We never want to be needed, but the need is there.
NOTHING hurts our hearts more than to be needed in the #PedsICU for something that was COMPLETELY, UNQUESTIONABLY PREVENTABLE. When adults not only failed to protect children but PROACTIVELY MADE DECISIONS that WILL HURT CHILDREN.
Yet HERE WE ARE in the ๐บ๐ธ .
To every single person who has dedicated their life to helping children or cares about children- SPEAK UP. Fill the world with good information. We need you now more than ever.
I'm still here on Facebook, on X, on Instagram because we cannot allow these platforms to become echo chambers for irresponsible adults. Hopefully that's why you're here too.
WE ARE RECRUITING!

Great work! Especially interested in seeing A3264 (use of EMG technology to monitor spinal anesthesia)โฆ.our monitor! Yes, this is objective measure of block. ๐#anes24#PedsAnes
T-minus 5 days to my 5th time attending the ASA conference, but my first one as a resident! ๐จ๐ปโโ๏ธ Come visit some of the wonderful research projects being presented by my colleagues and myself! ๐ค ๐ ๐

Do you remember when you joined X? We do! #MyXAnniversary
And weโve come so far.
A major step in neural blockade monitoring is just around the corner!
Great talk by @drmichellekars about regional block adjuvants in pediatrics. Wondering if an objective measure of block effect would help? Hmmm? ๐ค (we think so!) #pedsanes24#PedsAnes
@olamiricano@amit_pawa Cool. But what if your patient is asleep? Or a child? (Or both?)
Have you heard of the newest objective regional block tech coming soon? Hmmmm?
We have successfully completed our NSF SBIR Phase I project,ย "Neural Blockade Monitor Technology for Precision Pain Management".ย Weโre grateful for our project partners: @Root3Labs , DGCooley&Co. , and @TechSlice2 . Thank you @NSF for believing in and funding our technology.
