This piece provides much needed focus on the topic of pediatrics and hemodynamics. Is it true to say that children are completely different to adults? What information do we need and what should the considerations around this topic really be?

Presented by Desiree Chappell and Mike Grocott with their guests Dwight Bailey, Chief, Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Atrium Health, Levine Children's Hospital and Jonathan Tan, Vice Chair of Analytics and Clinical Effectiveness, Department of Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine, Assistant Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology and Spatial Sciences, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Spatial Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California

This piece addresses challenges in anesthesiology, workforce dynamics, leadership development, and operational efficiency. Flexible employment models, such as part-time roles and tailored schedules, are helping attract and retain talent while reducing burnout and reliance on locum tenens.

Are we seeing a shift from crisis management to long-term strategic planning? How can organizations, focused on innovation, leadership training, and fostering professional satisfaction, create a more stable and collaborative environment for clinicians and patients alike?

Presented by Desiree Chappell and her guests, Adam Spiegel, CEO, NorthStar Anesthesia and Jim Roberts, Chief Medical Officer of NorthStar Anesthesia and Meagan Barkett, Chief Operating Officer, NorthStar Anesthesia.
