Anaesthetists: do you monitor EtCO2 on the journey to theatre recovery? Literally nowhere I’ve worked has the kit to do this, yet apparently it’s an @assocanaes.bsky.social guideline to do so. I don’t even think our Philips mini-me monitors can do this …. 🤔 #AnSky

Anaesthestists: I'd like your opinion on #TIVA pumps. We have BD Alaris PK+, which are OK, but dated, and no Eleveld. Researching alternatives. BD Nexus / Fresenius Kabi / B-Braun Perfusor Space / Arcomed SP6000. Any others to consider that I've missed? Opinions on the various options? #AnSky

Laura Aikman (who played Sonia) didn’t tell her family she was back in Gavin & Stacey until she popped up on the screen last night. #GavinAndStacey

Anaesthetists: the only TOF monitors we have in our hospital are these Philips NMT ones and they are crap. The rep did give us one (!) thumb brace, but in reality they are going to go missing within 5 minutes. Has anyone got any top tips/ hacks to make the NMT more useable in practice? #AnSky

Excellent presentation on processed EEG monitoring by Drs Mark Barley and Tom Blanks. Learning about “top down” vs “Bottom up” induction of anaesthesia #SIVA24 #AnSky

Intraop dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to TIVA. Seems to be evidence for several potential advantages (opioid sparing, less post op pain, less delirium, less catheter related bladder discomfort). Main issue is ⬇️HR, right?. Interested to hear advice/tips from those that use regularly. #AnSky

Just arrived and looking for some anaesthetic or critical care content?

I've collated 150 accounts to follow in Pack 1. Plus another 100. Some familiar names & faces. International conversations.
