For abdominal pain caused by cancer or pancreatitis, celiac plexus blocks (CPBs) are a minimally invasive procedure. In order to ensure optimal pain relief and improved quality of life for individuals undergoing CPB, Direct Primary Care (DPC) provides tailored care, comprehensive support, and coordinated services.
Expert Referral and Coordination:
In order to facilitate patient access to CPB, DPC facilitates referrals to interventional radiologists or pain management specialists. The DPC ensures that patients receive timely access to CPB and are well prepared for the procedure by coordinating appointments and communicating with specialists.
Pre-procedural Counseling and Education:
CPB patients receive detailed counseling and education before undergoing the procedure from DPC. The purpose of CPB is explained, the benefits and risks are discussed, questions or concerns are addressed, and pre-procedural preparations are provided to maximize the success of the procedure.
Holistic Pain Management:
A comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each patient's individual needs incorporates CPB into DPC's holistic approach to pain management. DPC ensures that CPB is integrated into an overall strategy to optimize pain relief and improve overall well-being by considering factors such as the underlying cause of pain, medical history, and treatment goals.
Post-procedural Follow-Up and Monitoring:
To assess the effectiveness of CPB and address potential complications or concerns, DPC offers post-procedural follow-up and monitoring. To ensure continued comfort and satisfaction, it might be necessary to evaluate pain relief, monitor for side effects or adverse reactions, and adjust pain management strategies as necessary.
Personalized Care and Support:
A CPB patient's unique medical history, pain symptoms, and treatment preferences are taken into account by DPC when providing personalized care and support. Throughout the CPB process, DPC ensures that patients feel empowered and supported by cultivating strong doctor-patient relationships and providing individualized attention.
Accessibility and Convenience:
As part of DPC's commitment to accessibility and convenience, CPB patients have easy access to pain management services and support. With DPC, patients undergo CPB with minimal hassle and inconvenience, promoting a positive and stress-free experience by eliminating barriers to care and streamlining the referral and scheduling processes.
Continuity of Care and Follow-Up:
Providing guidance, advocacy, and encouragement to CPB patients, DPC provides continuity of care and ongoing follow-up. In order to improve patients' quality of life and achieve optimal pain relief, DPC provides consistent, coordinated care that enables them to navigate the complexities of pain management.
Pre-procedural Preparation and Guidance:
A DPC provides pre-procedural preparation and guidance to help patients prepare for CPB. These instructions may include fasting, medication management, and other pre-procedural requirements to maximize success and minimize complications.
Post-procedural Recovery Support:
In order to promote patient comfort and well-being following CPB, DPC provides post-procedural recovery support. Post-procedural symptoms or complications may be monitored, pain management guidelines and activity restrictions may be provided, and follow-up care or adjustments to pain management strategies may be coordinated to ensure continued satisfaction and relief.
