PGY13 peds anesthesiologist & physician-scientist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine My lab studies anesthesia, regulation of cerebral blood flow, organ perfusion, and stroke in neonates and infants. APD for JH Peds Anes Fellowship.
Proud of my friend @ehigginsmd.bsky.social , an emerging leader in healthcare worker well-being, crushing it with a plenary at @nam.edu! Highlighting his vital work on measuring systemic influencers of well-being. The mentee is quickly surpassing the mentor- couldn't be happier!!

Does the seniority of the anaesthetist compared to the surgeon influence patient safety? New mixed methods analysis by Xu et al suggests this has little impact. #patientsafety #Ansky

My lab is lucky to have the support from the Hopkins Dept of Anesthesiology and Crit Care Med that allowed us to acquire this surgical microscope- we are now able to do complex microvascular surgery! Also fortunate to have collaborators (pictured) from the JH Dept of Neurosurg #PedsAnesSky #AnSky

Remimazolam vs propofol in children

Median time to loss of consciousness during induction was 45 s (remimazolam) & 25 s (propofol).

There were no significant differences for awakening & tracheal extubation time or time to transfer out of PACU.

We escaped hell to be here.

New term, but not new approach! @pedsanesnet.bsky.social
It's time for some new airway terminology!

Introducing "flextension" - flexion of the lower cervical spine & extension of the upper cervical spine

It is the optimal position for non-infant airway management

Posture during intubation differs markedly between novices and experts!

Consider vertical head movement from mouth opening to tracheal tube insertion.

@pedsanesnet.bsky.social @sapnakmd.bsky.social @drseanbarnes.bsky.social looks like #pedsanes will be off brand for this platform…in line with #MedSky and #RASky …..should we claim #PedsAnesSky?
