Strategic Action Number 9 is extending the coverage of dental care through use of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment in the 100 municipalities mentioned above.
The use of atraumatic, flexible designed ablation catheters combined with magnetic field-guided navigation resulted in significantly reduced number of complications.
Surgical factors are controlled by the implanting surgeon and include electrode selection, insertion route (cochleostomy or through the round window), insertion depth, and the use of atraumatic surgical techniques.
With the increasing use of atraumatic LP needles, which dramatically reduce the incidence of post-LP headache [ 18, 19], and the escalating need for accurate diagnosis of early AD, our results add support for aspiration as a time saving and benign method for routine CSF collection for AD biomarker analyses.
Performing postconditioning with the use of an atraumatic, curved vascular clamp, by short alternating cycles of declamping and reclamping, at the time of sustained revascularization, can be a simple and clinically applicable method to mitigate the degree of IR injury [ 18, 26].
Reports of recipients suffering immediate or delayed loss of low frequency residual hearing following cochlear implantation [ 4, 6, 18] are concerning: the use of short, atraumatic electrode arrays to minimise cochlear damage, such as the Cochlear Hybrid-S or the Med-EL Flex arrays [ 2, 18], potentially leaves the more apical regions of the cochlea unstimulated.
The direct comparison of complication rates with either vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy favours the total laparoscopic technique, and therefore, this technique can be recommended as a relatively atraumatic procedure.
The National Oral Health Policy [ 66] has highlighted the importance and role of atraumatic tooth restoration in caries management.
Besides preventive measures, the use of caries-arrest treatment, atraumatic restorative treatment, endodontic treatment, and even extraction should be provided for children who have caries.
Examining needle procedures within a framework of atraumatic care broadened our perspective and enabled us to integrate the use of topical anesthetics as just one of a number of strategies to minimize the pain and distress associated with needle procedures.
