So the kid in BC with H5N1 was very sick to the point of needing ECMO. While the majority of human cases have not been severe, this virus has the potential to be as bad as other H5N1s.
At population scale, even infrequently, this is millions of people.

Rather surprising news and an actual gamechanger for our practice.
Tranexamic acid in liver cancer cases makes no difference re blood loss/transfusion, but leads to more *non-thrombotic* complications.
Pendulum for TA is swinging back after HALT & HeLiX.

So..we all do thoracic epidurals !!
Would you rather have a carefully considered and delivered thoracic spinal puncture performed by an experienced anaesthetist with a 27g needle OR a 16g thoracic epidural placed by a trainee??…just a thought 🧐
