July 11, 2023 – The leader in quality, safety and patient experience, Jupiter Medical Center is pleased to announce it is the first in South Florida, to introduce the OPTRELL Mapping Catheter, an innovative tool to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) and other complex arrhythmias. The technology, introduced by BioSense Webster, part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, provides cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists with enhanced precision in high-resolution directional mapping in an ablation procedure.

Dr. Kolek was selected as the first in South Florida by BioSense Webster to deploy this medical technology for his commitment to innovation in the field of electrophysiology. He successfully utilized the OPTRELL Mapping Catheter on a patient at Jupiter Medical Center in late May.
“This is an exceptional addition to the leading-edge technology available to patients at Jupiter Medical Center,” said Dr. Kolek, board-certified in both cardiac electrophysiology and cardiology. “For patients with complex arrhythmias, the OPTRELL allows us enhanced and efficient mapping capabilities in a minimally invasive ablation procedure.”

POST-OPERATIVE DELIRIUM AND OLDER ADULTS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
July 3, 2023 – The doctors have alerted you that your loved one’s surgery was a success. You feel a sigh of relief, but when they return to their room, they are not the same clear-headed, rational person who went into the operating room hours ago.
They are disoriented, agitated and are even experiencing frightening hallucinations. This scenario is all too real for many—especially older adults—after surgery. It’s referred to as post-operative delirium and can last anywhere from a few days to several months.
“So many people don’t know about this, but it’s a big, big thing,” said Jennifer Howland, a speech language pathologist at AnMed Health Rehabilitation Hospital, an Affiliate Entity of AnMed Health and Encompass Health. “Elderly people are at a higher risk; they’re also at risk for it lasting longer.”
