Most people don’t realize the doctor who keeps you asleep during surgery is also the one who may save your life. 🫶

Anesthesiologists are involved in every stage of surgery. They assess patients before the operation, make sure they’re ready for surgery, manage care throughout the procedure and support recovery and pain control afterward. Their work is essential for keeping patients safe.

At University Health Network, anesthesiologist and researcher Dr. Sheila Riazi leads one of the top centres in the world studying malignant hyperthermia — a rare genetic condition that can trigger a severe reaction to certain anesthesia drugs. Without rapid treatment, it can turn a routine operation into a life-threatening emergency within minutes.

For Dr. Riazi, the work is about more than science. “We are trained to act decisively when seconds count,” she says. “With awareness, preparedness and rapid treatment, malignant hyperthermia is entirely manageable.”

On , we’re celebrating anesthesiologists like Dr. Riazi, the lifesaving experts you don’t always see and the innovators pushing patient safety forward every day ➜ https://bit.ly/496QBAQ

Proud that one of our team members was a part of this initiative. Way to go, Dana!
The Canada East Spine Centre has always strived to be part of the best standards.

On Wednesday we had the privilege of welcoming Bill Barrable, CEO of the Praxis Spinal Cord Institute, to the Saint John Regional Hospital. He presented the team with the Accreditation Canada certificate for our commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care in alignment with the Spinal Cord Injury Standards of Excellence, accredited by the Health Standards Organization (HSO). Our staff members Eden Richardson- Database Manager and Dresden Forshner- Clinical Trials Associate attended along with the neurosurgeons of SJRH and their amazing team of nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other health care leaders. Without their hard work none on this would be possible. Congratulations!
