multicultural city is home to relaxing beaches, luxurious shops in
beautiful La Jolla, authentic Mexican food in Old Town, a vibrant nightlife

technology imaginable: rendering the human brain
reversibly insensible. In the decades after ether, we
continuously introduced disruptive technology such
as local anesthesia, fluid therapy, new classes of

care can be traced directly to a disruptive invention by
John Severinghaus - the blood gas machine.

Notes

It’s nice to be valued.
“We’re not just employees; we are an integral part of the team and all work in a collegial and supportive way.
I believe TeamHealth is one of the most advanced and integrated among healthcare organizations. This
creates strong working relationships between specialties and exceptional patient care. As a result, we bring
more value to the hospitals. With TeamHealth’s national presence and infrastructure I have more professional
opportunities as well as more time to pursue personal interests.”

POSTOPERATIVE Postoperative delirium is more pervasive than
previously thought. For certain procedures,
incidence can be higher than 40%, resulting in
DELIRIUM an increased risk of complications.1 Additionally,
in-hospital delirium is associated with increased
hospital length of stay of up to six days,2 and total
WHAT CAN cost of $16,303 to $64,421 per patient.3
WE DO?
The good news is that it is possible to reduce the
likelihood of delirium occurrences.
Guiding anesthetic dosing with Bispectral Index™

(BIS™) technology may aid in a reduction in the
incidence of delirium among elderly and other
patient populations at increased risk.4,5,6 In turn,
reducing delirium can positively impact health care
economics by lowering total cost of care.3
BIS™ brain function monitoring has also been

clinically shown to reduce primary anesthetic
delivery (as much as 50%)7 and promote faster
wake-up, recovery and discharge from the PACU.8
