Do you look after patients having an emergency laparotomy? 😷 If so, we'd love your views for a trial evaluating high-dose dexamethasone.

Depth of anaesthesia monitoring aims to guide anaesthesia dosage to avoid #BurstSuppression or arousal reaction. However, sole reliance on #pEEG risks under- or overdosing anaesthetics, especially in the elderly

This is just appalling, absolutely no one should be re sitting. They should also be heavily reimbursed for both the exam fee and any job ramifications. Medicine seems to get away with things other structures and organisations don’t.

Surgical patients most are commonly prescribed renin–angiotensin system (#RAAS) inhibitors. Effective RAAS inhibition was associated with lower risk of #postop #myocardialinjury independent of stopping or continuing RAAS inhibitors before surgery. #Ansky
