Exploring Ethnoecology from Hawaii to Nigeria and Beyond with Hoa’āina Dr. Katie Kamelamela

Exploring Ethnoecology from Hawaii to Nigeria and Beyond with Hoa’āina Dr. Katie Kamelamela

Hoa’āina Dr. Katie Kamelamela, Dr. Easley, Isaac, and Bennett discuss ethnoecology related to their respective cultures. Dr. Kamelamela draws from her experiences in Hawaii. She leans to what she has learned from her community to describe her work with ethnoecology and the role of land autonomy in having an empowered community. She also shares stories about building connections with those she works with and teaches to create a holistic learning environment that is welcoming for all.

And finally, we are thrilled to introduce Isaac Carroo as the newest member of our team in this episode! His unique perspective and insights will be a valuable addition as he joins as a cohost for the Heartwood Podcast moving forward. Get ready for an exciting journey with Isaac!

Ultrasound-guided versus landmark-guided neuraxial puncture

Ultrasound-guided versus landmark-guided neuraxial puncture

In this episode, Dr. de Carvalho discusses his article, Efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided versus landmark-guided neuraxial puncture: a systematic review, network meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis of randomized clinical trials. Dr. de Carvalho’s work reiterates that using ultrasound-guided neuraxial anesthesia results in a more efficient neuraxial placement. Ultrasound-guided neuraxial use results in fewer needle attempts and redirections and may improve patient satisfaction. Besides, his works demonstrate that ultrasound benefits both patients with normal and abnormal anatomy.
