8/ Longer-term, I hope we see iterative changes in equipment design, to prevent the more common errors currently associated with TIVA.
In the meantime, we MUST check our working and identify errors before pressing go.
If you are using TIVA, consider using #PERUSEbeforeYouInfuse.

It is time for a thread on cholesterol, lipids and how the triple GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon agonist retatrutide is going to revolutionize medicine. Not just through weight loss, but also cardiovascular risk reduction, sit back, let's find out why, this is unreal. Tagging #cardiosky too they'll like this.

This great lab study from 2020 surprised me at the time - challenging our assumptions about fresh gas flow rates and economic/environmental costs. #AnSky
[ Higher FGF (~6L/min) during TIVA reduces costs without sig environmental impact. ]

As an anaesthetist called into emergency situations the amount of information to process while responding in a time critical manner requires calm, a fresh mindset, a rapid assessment of what’s happened, what’s been tried & what needs to happen now. Key is how the team is functioning & leadership
Being a 'good rescuer' is:
• counterintuitive eg the advice to stand back & analyse rather than pile in & do something
• counter-cultural eg using checklists rather than relying on memory
Specific rescuer training would reinforce these skills.

Don't know how threads will turn out but ten bucks for 15 years of Tweets seems very reasonable
