I-Flow LLC. announced a nationwide bus tour aimed at educating clinicians, administrators and other healthcare professionals about the importance of a post-operative pain management program.
Called “On the Road with ON-Q: Post-Operative Pain Education Bus Tour,” the initiative will function as a mobile classroom, traveling to 36 hospitals across the U.S., according to a press release. Each session will feature a surgeon, anesthesiologist and administrator discussing their experience in pain management and with the ON-Q, I-Flow’s elastomeric pain relief pump that administers an automatic and continuous, regulated flow of local anesthetic through a specially designed catheter to the surgical site area. A patients treated with ON-Q will also be available at certain sessions to answer questions.
“For care providers, acute surgical pain management is an increasingly important issue, as the negative effects of powerful narcotics have become further realized,” Chris Barys, general manager at I-Flow, stated in a press release. “The goal of the mobile classroom is to give clinicians the education and resources they need to make the most optimal pain management decisions post-surgery, maintaining the patient’s comfort and safety as the top priority.”
