Pneumothorax in children - X-ray? We are having a trauma simulation this week, with a child around 2 years. Is there anyone who has or knows where to find a chest radiograph of a child with left-sided PTX, both initial and with a chest tube inserted? Nothing in Radiopedia....

Low dose suxamethonium is well known "last resort" for rapid treatment of #laryngospasm. Is there any evidence at all for the use of #rocuronium in lower dose than intubationdose 1,0-1,2 mg/kg? emergencycarebc.ca/clinical_res... suggests 0,2 mg/kg,but without references. Anyone? #AirwaySky #AnSky

My entry for the @sivatrainees.bsky.social #SIVA24 infographic competition.

Is there one model to rule them all? Well tbh I think it doesn't matter all that much, as long as you know your model well!

You can find a more detailed explanation on my website: hibalazs.net/anaesthesia/...

About to finish a rev of the airway chapter in a Norwegian textbook in Nurse Anesthesia. I've included flextension for positioning, increased focus on VL, CO2, not only auscultation, physiological difficult airway, 1st vs 2nd Gen SAD etc. What more is "new" to? Suggestions? #AirwaySky #AnSky
How do you describe the position you put a patient in for intubation?

• 'the sniffing position’?
• 'win with the chin'?
• 'first pint position'?

@chrimesy.com & @timcook.bsky.social propose a new term - 'flextension'.

Your thoughts?

"Home made" quiz game for my Nurse Anesthetist students today, always a success, and an easy go-to when my lessons were a bit bad planned 😜Empty vials/ampoules as game piece makes it extra fun. "I want to be remi!" #Ansky
