Proud of my friend @ehigginsmd.bsky.social , an emerging leader in healthcare worker well-being, crushing it with a plenary at @nam.edu! Highlighting his vital work on measuring systemic influencers of well-being. The mentee is quickly surpassing the mentor- couldn't be happier!!

Does the seniority of the anaesthetist compared to the surgeon influence patient safety? New mixed methods analysis by Xu et al suggests this has little impact. #patientsafety #Ansky

My lab is lucky to have the support from the Hopkins Dept of Anesthesiology and Crit Care Med that allowed us to acquire this surgical microscope- we are now able to do complex microvascular surgery! Also fortunate to have collaborators (pictured) from the JH Dept of Neurosurg #PedsAnesSky #AnSky

Remimazolam vs propofol in children
Median time to loss of consciousness during induction was 45 s (remimazolam) & 25 s (propofol).
There were no significant differences for awakening & tracheal extubation time or time to transfer out of PACU.

New term, but not new approach! @pedsanesnet.bsky.social
It's time for some new airway terminology!
Introducing "flextension" - flexion of the lower cervical spine & extension of the upper cervical spine
It is the optimal position for non-infant airway management

Posture during intubation differs markedly between novices and experts!
Consider vertical head movement from mouth opening to tracheal tube insertion.
