We support 1 in 8 of all heart surgeries performed in the country every year. Each year, 350,000 people require open-heart surgery and related cardiovascular perfusion support. These procedures require a knowledgeable team of perfusionists, who are critical members of the OR surgical team. By operating the heart-lung machine throughout surgery, they maintain the patient’s heart and lung function while the surgeon makes necessary repairs. Hospitals nationwide choose us for our deep resources and commitment to patients.

IONM is used during surgeries in which the central nervous system can be at risk. Our surgical neurophysiologists work alongside the world’s leading surgeons to review and interpret data in real time and identify the early signs of evolving neural injury. That means interventions can be implemented promptly to avoid or mitigate long-term neural deficit. SpecialtyCare is the largest provider of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) services in the nation, with 110,000 cases every year.

This, in turn, cuts down on hospital costs tremendously. For example, if a hospital were better equipped to avoid transfusions for 1,000 patients a year, that would be the equivalent of saving $4 million annually. Autotransfusion is portable, easy, and avoids many outcomes that would come from standard blood transfusions. The response time from our clinical technicians is under 60 minutes, and they provide autotransfusion both inside and outside of the operating room.

This is why doctors all over the nation depend on SpecialtyCare for our leading neurodiagnostics services. Here are the services we offer: Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound: TCD determines the blood flow in the major arteries in the brain. It is useful in detecting brain disease and evaluating stroke or TIA. Carotid Duplex Ultrasound: CD provides important information about the carotid arteries and blood flow to the brain. It’s used to detect possible arterial disease. Electroencephalography: An EEG is used to record electrical activity in the brain, similar to how an EKG records heart activity. An EEG can help determine many conditions such as stroke, dementia, narcolepsy, seizures, tumors, and more.

This is used for the medical treatment of numerous conditions like Parkinson’s disease, depression, obsessive compulsive-disorder, dystonia, and tremors. DBS changes brain activity in a controlled manner, and its effects are reversible. The DBS system has three components: the implanted pulse generator, the lead, and an extension. The pulse generator is battery-operated and covered by a titanium case. SpecialtyCare leads the market in DBS procedures in the United States, performing more than 800 procedures (one in every eight) each year. We provide expertise in microelectrode recording (MER) and stimulation mapping techniques.

Recent studies show that anywhere between 40-60% of blood transfusions are inappropriate. By using our Patient Blood Management program, also known as PBM, hospitals will see a reduction in blood-related costs, fewer readmissions, and reduced length of stay. This is because of our commitment to high-quality patient care. Our program features four cornerstones of care: anemia management, coagulation optimization, interdisciplinary blood conservation modalities, and patient-centered decisions. We provide consulting to help you manage the change and we also help implement these changes. MORE ON PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT INFO ON PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT WHAT IS PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT?
