As TAVR volumes continue to rise, cardiovascular programs are seeking innovative ways to optimize resource utilization, improve efficiency, and enhance throughput and procedural capacity, while maintaining safe, high-quality patient care. One approach gaining traction is the implementation of nurse-led sedation (NLS) in appropriately selected patients undergoing a TAVR procedure.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive discussion of the implementation of NLS in TAVR procedures and its impact on patients, providers and health systems. Key aspects of this webinar include:
• Driving factors behind the adoption of NLS.
• Potential benefits for patients, staff and healthcare systems.
• Financial impact of NLS for TAVR.
• Key considerations for program success.
• Strategies for overcoming implementation challenges
