The Beat Webinar Series - Episode 4 - Same Day Discharge, EP Procedures (Live)-The Beat Episode 4: Same Day Discharge, EP Procedures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webinar, the presenters discussed the topic of same-day discharge after electrophysiology (EP) procedures. They highlighted the increasing pressure on healthcare hospitals to send patients home on the same day and the need to develop protocols for same-day discharge. The speakers shared their experiences and protocols from their respective institutions. They emphasized the importance of a team approach, including the involvement of advanced practice providers and the role of telehealth technology in post-procedure management. The presenters also discussed the evolution of EP procedure dispositions and the challenges faced in implementing same-day discharge practices. They shared data on the safety and efficacy of same-day discharge after EP procedures, including device implants and ablations for atrial fibrillation. The speakers emphasized the need for patient selection, standardized protocols, and comprehensive post-procedure management to ensure the success and safety of same-day discharge programs. They also discussed the impact of vascular access management and closure devices on the feasibility of same-day discharge. Finally, the presenters highlighted the need for ongoing evaluation, education, and support for patients undergoing same-day discharge after EP procedures.
