NorthStar Anesthesia hosts Virtual Grand Rounds on IOH and patient outcomes

Another Successful Session of Virtual Grand Rounds! NorthStar Anesthesia’s third session of Virtual Grand Rounds brought together clinicians nationwide for a deep dive into one of today’s most important topics in anesthesia: Intraoperative Hypotension (IOH) and its impact on patient outcomes. Hosted by our Office of Clinical Quality, this quarterly webinar series provides an invaluable opportunity for clinicians to gain knowledge, share expertise, and earn free CME/CE credits — all from the comfort of their own practice setting. This session, “Understanding and Managing IOH to Avoid Adverse Outcomes: Recognizing IOH as an Overt Marker of Hemodynamic Instability and a Modifiable Driver of Postoperative Risk,” explored: ➡️ Recognizing IOH as a modifiable risk factor ➡️ Best practices and data-driven approaches for IOH detection and management ➡️ Early intervention strategies and standardized protocols to optimize patient safety and care A special thank you to our expert panelists — Dr. Wael Saasouh, Regional Director of Research; Desirée Chappell, MSNA, CRNA, FAANA, VP of Clinical Quality; Dr. Dominick Iaconetti; Steve Garvin, Assistant Chief CRNA; and Lisa Hosko, Assistant Chief CRNA and Director of Education — for leading a dynamic and informative discussion that involved clinicians across the country. As one of our panelists emphasized: "When it comes to the care of our patients, better never stops — and managing intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is a powerful reminder of that; but IOH is not just a standalone metric, it is an overt marker of broader hemodynamic instability." Stay tuned for our next Virtual Grand Rounds session as we continue our commitment to empowering clinicians and improving patient outcomes. #IOH #clinicaleducation #CRNA #anesthesiologist #NorthStar #NorthStarAnesthesia
