Still says “dude” and “sick” in his 40s. Can surf though.

Occasionally gives an anaesthetic. Mainly to small people
On strike days we post graphs. This is by the IfG - a numbers first technocrat think tank with no political allegiance. Certainly no friends of the BMA

Ooh ooh @maffygirl.medsky.social - I have a new thing we can all argue about:

“Category 3 caesarean sections have no place out of hours unless a second team is immediately available“

My personal views aren’t particularly strong but I like sitting eating popcorn.

A good study on actual trained anaesthetists in Europe… we all know VL is good, so where is the guidance I can wave at purchasing to let us have more than one glidescope between seven theatres*?

Said guidance also needs to let us train and maintain DL as a core competency

(*hyperbole)
Should we use universal videolaryngoscopy in real-world operating theatre settings?

YES!

↑ rate of easy intubation
↑ rate successful first-attempt intubation
↓ incidence of difficult laryngoscopy
↓ complications related to intubation

Time to start a fight.

I think non-anaesthetists don’t realise how difficult epidurals/spinals can be, and don’t appreciate the experience and skill it can take to take someone screaming at 10/10 pain to chilling in bed with a 10-20 minute procedure #ansky

I’d love to know the backstory here…
