Introduction of the Sedation Systems titratable nitrous oxide delivery system has been one of the best decisions we have made for Havkin Urology. We have introduced the system into practice in May of 2017 after extensive training and support provided by the staff of Sedation Systems.
Customer care and technical support have been unparalleled.
Introduction of this tool into outpatient office based Urological practice has allowed us to perform procedures which were previously only able to be performed in ASC setting. Patient comfort has been remarkable, safety has been remarkable and patient as well as staff acceptance and approval have been 100%.
We have performed over 800 procedures including vasectomies, bladder biopsies, prostate biopsies, litholapaxies, stent removals, UroLift®, diagnostic cystoscopy for patients with severe anxiety otherwise requesting general anesthesia, intravesical botox injections, urethral dilatations, suprapubic tube placements, intravesical foreign body removals etc.
The advantages of this system over other nitrous oxide delivery systems are clear and indisputable including ability to titrate nitrous oxide concentration to patient’s comfort and fully closed system with scavenger thus fully adhering to OSHA regulations and protecting staff from N2O exposure, etc.
Introducing the system has allowed us to position ourselves as leaders of the outpatient Urological care in the community.
It allowed greater flexibility in patient’s care including being able to deliver complex care on the spot, provided a marketing edge over competing Urological practices in the community and served as additional revenue center.
In my opinion, introduction of this tool into any forward thinking Urological practice is a MUST.
