#worldsepsisday
April 2025 I was fit, training for a 2nd ultramarathon. I felt flu-y, 48h later in hospital. 24h later I was peri-arrest. I was delirious and struggling to breathe. 2 weeks later I left hospital and began the long road to recovery that I’m still on. #sepsis can happen to anyone.

What are the benefits and potential pitfalls of using hybrid closed loop systems in #Type1Diabetes during #surgery?

Which drugs alter CBG readings? Does this mean they can’t be used?

Important message from this study on emergency front of neck access for CICO:

Making the decision is the hardest part; the doing is easier.
17 UK anaesthetists interviewed by a psychologist on their experience of #eFONA for #CICO

2 meta themes emerged:

1. Making the decision is the hardest part; the doing is easier

2. What helps make the decision?

There are a lot of acronyms involved in the treatment of cancer!

As a part of our Oncoanaesthesia edition, Weaver & @DrSusannahP.bsky.social provide an overview of common neoadjuvant regimens and their toxicities.

Really proud of this article. I hope it explains how the expansion of cancer treatments is both benefitting patients and moving into our realm of anaesthesia.

Floods then ice in Manchester. Some really pretty puddles that my kids enjoyed stamping on.

A very wet Manchester today. We’re not flooded but we have friends who are very worried if it rains again.

This year my boys decided that Santa wanted a shot of lemon gin (straight, no tonic 😬), a gluten free mince pie - homemade because Santa likes homemade better and would leave more presents and the obligatory carrot for the reindeer.
Santa made a mess of our hearth to say thank you…

Finally, overly simplistic rhyming aphorisms may in themselves have potential to predispose to a cognitive bias.

Another great reason to use #videolaryngoscopy, looking very carefully at where we are putting the ET tube. #AnSky #airway #airwaySky
How do we best care for patients undergoing gender affirming vocal cord surgery and manage future #anaesthesia without damaging the vocal cords?

What is a ‘safe dose’ of LA? I read an article when training on how we should avoid using traditional ‘safe mg/kg doses’ and think more about the site, the patient, co-morbidities etc.
I can’t remember where I read this but it’s something that’s stayed with me.
Even so, this case is a rare event!
Rare case of LA skin infiltration at the facet joint causing an accidental high spinal #freeforaweek
Was infiltration too deep or did LA spread into the erector spinae?
