Is STOP-BANG too subjective? Is there an alternative?

The B-APNEIC score showed strong predictive accuracy for severe obstructive sleep apnoea and could serve as a simple, objective alternative to STOP-BANG.

It was almost perfect but I was being conservative.
TBH filling needed more seasoning.
I am thinking some Chicken Bouillon next time.
I do love a recipe in evolution.

James and I are non tasters so we are perfectly matched.
We consume it endlessly and are happy as with each other!!

EIC's Choice - Pulmonary complications after intrathecal morphine (ITM) administration

ITM does NOT ⬆️ rates of sedation or hypoxaemia after non-obstetric surgery (moderate evidence)

ITM might ⬆️ the rate of respiratory depression (low quality evidence)

Yes people said it was because Thiopentone’s structure resembled garlic- allicin but the expert said there was no resemblance and he did not know why this occurred.
That was world changing information….

This is my claim to fame sadly never acknowledged, the first paper to examine the taste of garlic with thiopentone.
I am sad no one appreciated the magnificence of this investigation.
The World’s garlic expert thought we were odd asking him about this.
maffygirl.medsky.social Dr Mary-Ann Fox BMBS FANZCA GChPOM @maffygirl.medsky.social · 9d
I co wrote the first paper on the taste of garlic with thiopentone.
Much described at the time but never written up.
My claim to infamy 😊

I am a non taster married to a non taster so we happily consume huge amounts of garlic.
I have never smelled it on anyone!!
We have been in situations where we heard the words “OMG who ate the garlic”
It was us!!! 😜

Barely acknowledged the important facts are there are 3 genetic types of garlic tasters.
Super tasters who can smell it a mile off.
Moderate tasters who can taste and smell but not a lot.
Non tasters who can barely smell or taste.
Sadly no Nobel Prize.
