#229 Revolutionizing Anesthesia Care for Cardiac Patients: Shorter and Safer Dual Antiplatelet Therapy with Next-Gen Stents

Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast

What if the future of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) could be shorter, safer, and more effective? Uncover the latest insights into drug-eluting stents and how they are transforming how we think about dual-antiplatelet therapy. Join us as we examine the game-changing recommendations from top cardiology societies, which suggest that newer-generation stents can significantly reduce the duration of DAPT, particularly for patients with a high bleeding risk. Listen in as we dissect the innovative tools like the PRECISE-DAPT score and ARC-HBR criteria used to determine bleeding risk, ensuring patient safety without compromising on the efficacy of treatment. We delve into pivotal studies, including the Global Leader Study and the STOP-DAPT trial, that back these groundbreaking changes.
Our conversation takes an intriguing turn as we explore the intersection of cardiology advancements with anesthesia practices. Discover how these developments are influencing preoperative settings, potentially altering surgical timing and decision-making in anesthesia care. We bring you exclusive insights from contributor, Janak Chandrasoma, featured in the October 2024 APSF newsletter. We urge you to explore further resources, share the knowledge with your peers, and join us in promoting patient safety in perioperative environments. Don't forget to rate, review, and share the episode with colleagues keen on staying at the forefront of anesthesia patient safety advancements.
