Happy International Women’s Day.
I’m fortunate to have brilliant women in my life as friends and colleagues along with male allies prepared to stand up and be counted.
Keep on keeping on.

I love how this little quote from an amazing, but truly underrated author of satire gets such a huge amount of love, even from people that never heard of Terry Pratchett.

Worth mentioning that in the UK these are a Doctor’s decision; you cannot demand CPR and your consent is not required to apply a DNACPR. In general if you get to this point the likelihood of success is very low and of survivors the likelihood of disability is high. (1/3)

It’s amazing how many folks who use TIVA don’t know this.
I was told this by a Boss once, and never looked back.
I never read the paper though 🤦🏽♂️. Time to change that!

This great lab study from 2020 surprised me at the time - challenging our assumptions about fresh gas flow rates and economic/environmental costs. #AnSky
[ Higher FGF (~6L/min) during TIVA reduces costs without sig environmental impact. ]

Trump depends on the EU and UK to act as peacemakers more than he thinks
The US doesn’t need to spend more on Ukraine. Britain can bring funding to the table – and help Trump reboot alliances

300,000 women die from cervical cancer every year.
But this is a cancer we can effectively eliminate with the HPV vaccine.
This is something very few people know about.

Wonderful illustration of the importance of reading your #peeg waveform and not just trusting the number the algorithm generates. Is this patient waking up? Nope; it’s mains interference - unplug the bed and a massive difference results in the number, but the deltas were always there. #anaesthesia

Should anaesthetists wear sterile gowns and facemasks when performing spinal anaesthesia?
NAP3 reported 2 cases of vertebral canal abscess & 1 of infective meningitis (325,000 spinal anaesthetics).
What is the environmental cost?

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.
The debate around the use of physician associates in the NHS is certain to be debated on this app as it was over in the other place
Last month I published this long read after speaking to Merseyside medics about their concerns
