One of the first things I teach my trainees when they come into anaesthesia is the importance of preoxygenation and the safe apnoea time it provides you.
I draw graphs with FRC and calculate oxygen depletion based on BMR.
Because anaesthesia is medical procedure, not a joke.

Kudos to the anesthesiology team. How long did she last?

How do you know how far to reposition your patient!?
"Around 6 inches"?
"a smidge"?

My work is changing to ORBIS from @DedalusUKI for anaesthesia and I’m wondering if anybody who uses an EHR system to record regional anaesthesia has any advice about a good interface (easily auditable)?

Looking to find a new home for these (quite old) medical textbooks rather than throw them away. Giving them away for free (but you'll need to cover postage). Please message me if you're interested. Also happy to donate them somewhere (feel free to give suggestions)!

Nope.
Don’t care.
You can’t make me retake my exams.
If anyone is currently looking into other anatomy topics…please stop.

Very much looking forward to seeing them

An alternative approach to streamline the #intubation over a bougie? See how the pre-loaded bougie technique simplifies the process due to a loop in the tracheal tube. This technique is particularly useful for clinicians who work alone. Video tip by @jducanto

Um…is there a real possibility of being able to move to the US to practice medicine without needing the USMLE or any US clinical training?
I believe there is.
I suspect many UK doctors will be very interested in this…

Here are the list of states that are going to allow IMGs to practice in the USA 🇺🇸 without any U.S. clinical training

I really would prefer this.
Although at least the head-to-head does show their people skills (or lack therof) which wouldn’t come across in an interview.

I have to say a well constructed thirty minute head to head interview with Starmer and then another with Sunak would yield far more than this constrained but shouty debate

I consider myself brave because I will use milk from the staff fridge for my coffee without first checking with the sniff test.

A colleague has told me that whilst working as a fellow in the US, all anaesthetists were given written feedback cards at the end of every day with what went well, and learning points.
They felt looked after and loved the feedback style.

First time I’ve ever won anything…for my paediatric in-situ simulation project
…and I couldn’t receive it because I was post nights on Labour ward and by 4pm was a sleep-deprived delirious mess. Luckily my addled brain was ok to attend the morning and present the poster.

How does everyone else relax after a run of nights? I’ve got a very unique activity today.
