"... a ‘RSI–TCI’ mode with a pre-programmed manual bolus offers a pragmatic solution for those who wish to preserve an intact pharmacokinetic model for accurate propofol delivery, while allowing the rapid induction clinicians expect from a manual bolus."

I don’t think anyone considers thio part of RSI anymore but I’m certain most who’ve abandoned cricoid are still using sux/roc & many aren’t FMV. It’s definitely singled out.

Again, I qtn whether the rationale for RSI is sound.

Interestingly while cricoid pressure gets mocked by those wanting to practice EBM, there’s no more evidence for any other aspect of RSI? Why has cricoid been singled out as the component to ditch when the whole thing is entirely rationale-based & incls many opportunities to cause harm.
Cricoid pressure until they're back on the ward. Burden on proof is on the doubters to prove it doesn't reduce aspiration.

Ok it’s time for the very first Midweek #AnSkyMedSkyDebate, which I will call the #VortexDebate after the wonderful @chrimesy.com.
Come on let’s get our opinions out and have a good robust discussion.
See next comment for the topic.

1st SIVATrainee - BlueSky Thread!

pEEG and ketamine
If youve spent any time around TIVA and EEG
You'll know that ketamine can increase the BIS number - Perhaps you never use ketamine because every time you do your processed EEG keeps telling you the patient's 'awake'

Are you interested in #Sustainability in #Anesthesiology and how reusing TIVA lines could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Per Werner Moller, originally an expert in #AppliedPhysiology and #VenousReturn, discusses their environmental paper on the #EJA podcast.

The always wonderful, and dear friend @nickopotamus.co.uk speaking about TCI as a means of making adequate sedation more likely in critically ill transfers.

Expert talk, as always. Also, he and I have just spent lunch talking about dogs, so he gets extra applause from me!

J. Robert Sneyd speaking about Remimazolam. A very entertaining talk!

Remimazolam potentially has the advantages of an offset not dissimilar to propofol, with the CVS stability and reversibility of Midazolam. The best of both worlds, possibly.

There is a niche for this, I suspect.
