This document provides an overview of ambulatory surgery and its current position in healthcare delivery in India. It discusses the evolution of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in India, from basic ENT and ophthalmology procedures performed in day surgery until 2000, to India's first multi-specialty chain of ASCs being launched in 2009 to perform a wider range of minimally invasive surgeries. The document argues that ASCs can help fill gaps in healthcare access by providing affordable, high-quality care and freeing up capacity in tertiary hospitals for critical care.
The document discusses various ways to help the environment including turning off lights and water when not in use, recycling everything correctly, walking instead of driving when possible, and reusing old clothes for cleaning instead of throwing them out. The methods described are easy to implement but important for reducing waste and protecting the environment.
Ambulatory surgery has become a popular and efficient form of surgical healthcare delivery in the US and Europe. In India, ambulatory surgery is growing with the development of small, standalone centers equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. While surgery poses risks and fears for patients, ensuring safety is key for the success of ambulatory surgery. Factors that contribute to safety include analyzing and addressing risks and patient fears, employing qualified staff, complying with regulations, incident reporting, and providing continuous patient care and support.

Preventive healthcare ppt final final for jnanadeepaShivanadh K
The document discusses the concept of preventive healthcare in India. It notes that sudden cardiac deaths in young footballers highlights the need for preventive care. It then provides examples of non-communicable diseases like diabetes affecting children. The rest of the document discusses the growing burden of non-communicable diseases in India and globally. It argues that preventive healthcare can help reduce healthcare costs and losses to the economy. The document proposes a preventive healthcare package priced at Rs. 350 that includes various medical tests. It aims to screen a minimum of 50 people per day and provide reports within 48 hours.
The document discusses improving healthcare in India through increasing government spending on public healthcare. It argues that India should implement a "Pink Revolution" by investing 10% of GDP on public healthcare, up from the current low rate of 1%. Only a massive increase in funding can address critical issues like high maternal and child mortality rates. Private healthcare alone cannot meet the needs of India's 400 million poor citizens. Increased spending is needed to build healthcare infrastructure like hospitals, clinics, and improve sanitation, water, and health education. While corruption in the system needs addressing, lack of investment cannot be an excuse to not help those in need. The document advocates for the rights of all Indians to life and health.

This document summarizes maternal and child health in Indonesia, including progress toward achieving several Millennium Development Goals. It finds that while maternal mortality and child mortality rates have declined since 1990, disparities persist across regions and socioeconomic levels. Key factors influencing health outcomes include a mother's education, family income, access to skilled birth attendants and the healthcare system. Achieving further improvements will require addressing social determinants of health and reducing inequalities.
The document proposes a solution to universalize access to quality primary healthcare in India. It summarizes India's health challenges like low life expectancy and high infant and maternal mortality rates compared to other developing countries. It proposes implementing health insurance for all families covered under the MNREGA rural employment guarantee scheme by increasing wages by Rs. 10-20 and using that amount for health insurance. It outlines implementation details for increasing healthcare resources and utilization, prevention programs like free vaccination camps, and public-private partnerships. The solution aims to increase health insurance coverage, utilization of existing infrastructure and resources, and decrease mortality and disease rates.
The document discusses challenges facing health systems, including an aging population with multiple chronic conditions, rising costs, and technological advances. It focuses on reforms to improve coordination within and outside of hospitals to better manage chronic diseases. This includes strengthening primary care, public health interventions, and aligning payment systems to prioritize prevention and care outside of hospitals when possible. The goal is to improve outcomes and make more efficient use of resources.
This document discusses person-centered healthcare and how technology can enable it. It argues that healthcare should be centered around both the patient and the human workforce. It advocates for IT systems that support patient-centric models of care and help improve communication between healthcare workers. The goal is to use technology to shift more care to the home and community to improve quality of life while lowering costs.

AIDSTAR-One Case Study: Mental Health Care and Support in VietnamAIDSTAROne
The document summarizes two mental health programs integrated into HIV care in Vietnam:
1. Mental health services were integrated into methadone maintenance treatment programs for opioid users living with HIV. Services included screening, counseling, support groups, and referrals. The program aimed to improve quality of life.
2. A second program embedded mental health counseling in an HIV outpatient clinic. Community health workers referred clients for counseling regarding sleep issues, anxiety, and drug use. The client's plan to stop drug use at night improved his sleep and anxiety with family support.
3. Both programs screened for depression and anxiety and provided counseling. They aimed to address unmet mental health needs and support HIV positive clients holistically.
This document discusses advances in ambulatory surgery, specifically related to urology. It highlights key developments in areas like minimal access and non-invasive surgery techniques, diagnostic and imaging technologies, peri-operative anesthesia, and improved patient experience management. These advances have helped urological procedures transition from traditional in-patient settings to ambulatory settings, allowing for shorter hospital stays, earlier return to normal activities, and cost savings, while still providing enhanced patient comfort. Laser prostate surgery is presented as one example of a urological procedure that has benefited from these trends towards ambulatory surgery.
The document discusses haematoma block, a technique for anesthetizing fractures using local injection of lignocaine into the fracture haematoma. It describes haematoma block as a boon for ambulatory orthopedic surgery as it allows for shorter hospital stays, reduced costs, and faster return to work compared to general anesthesia. The document outlines the patient populations best suited for haematoma block, the procedure and risks, and concludes that when properly applied it can benefit both patients and hospitals by improving bed turnover rates while providing satisfied patients.

Ambulatory surgery involves performing planned surgical procedures on patients who are admitted and discharged on the same day. The concept began in the early 1900s and benefits were better realized after WWII. Key requirements include appropriate facilities, patient selection, pre-operative assessments, standardized procedures, oral post-op medications, and guidelines to ensure safety. Benefits include high quality care, lower infection rates, reduced costs, faster recovery and return to work, and less burden on inpatient facilities. Ambulatory surgery is now a global trend performed for over 70% of elective cases in the US and 65% in the UK.

This document discusses day care (ambulatory) anesthesia. It notes that 70% of surgeries are now ambulatory, including many procedures on children. Advances in short-acting anesthetics and analgesics, as well as less invasive surgical techniques, have enabled more outpatient surgery. The challenges of day care anesthesia include assessing pain in children, lack of experience in standalone centers, and undiagnosed medical conditions in patients. Proper patient selection, planning, anesthetic techniques and post-operative management are keys to success. A multimodal approach to pain management improves outcomes over traditional opiate techniques. Strict discharge criteria focus on stability, orientation and adequate pain control to allow patients to recover at home.
The document discusses the Indian healthcare market and health insurance industry. It notes that less than 20% of the total Indian population is covered for health, and health insurance penetration is only 2%.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
