Dr. Robert Whitfield describes a perioperative system using ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, minimal anesthesia, and post-op health coaches. He says it has improved recovery outcomes across thousands of patients and outlines the approach in his book Sharp.
Chapters
I've done this on thousands of patients and uniformly, they'll recover better if prepared properly and taken through a procedure and then helped afterwards. So we have health coaches and functional providers to help them on the back end as well as the front end. A really devoted anesthesia team to provide ultrasound guided nerve blocks and use the least amount of anesthesia or the. The best strategies to help them recover. Like, this is the way I think we should just be doing things in general. But we've just applied it to our surgical practice and try to continue to tweak it, make it better. The first book, Sharp, is about my methodology for this. And then the second book is about breast implants, explant surgery and breast implant illness. To really just let everybody know, like we're not hiding anything. I've published books about it. I have people copying my system now all over the country, which is fine. Yeah. Good. It's great. It'll help patients. And I don't like people send me messages. Oh, they're using your system. Great. You're actually doing the right thing. You're following the protocol. Yeah, you're doing the right thing.
