You should become a Seldinger master! Place CVCs at the highest level then use the skill to place better drains. Check out our lecture from #TBS25, the best boutique critical care conference out there. Feel free to reskeet. Drop us a line if you want a workshop! youtu.be/kNIzWujmfDk?...

Trigger warning: sentimentality ahead. I get paid well for most rewarding job, keeping patients safe asleep, alive in the ICU. Blocks! CVCs! Drains! Kick-ass colleagues! Then clock out to three awesome kids and someone who loves me. Thought struck me while doom-scrolling war and politics.

The kids are 8,11 and 11, the perfect age to take them to the savannah and show them animals! The Lion King set the expectations and South Africa delivered.

Å ena sidan är läkarens autonomi också viktig, vill ska vi inte tvingas ta ansvar för något som vi bedömdes är farligt och oansvarigt när bra alternativ finns. Å andra sidan är det ingen som frågas oss när SM i motorkross ordnas i stan.

Awsome. Swedish Gripen jets, on their way to Ukraine to defensive the free world.

Former Lithuanian Health Minister Aurimas Pečkauskas spent two weeks in a combat zone in Ukraine — working as an anesthesiologist, not a politician. This was his third visit. He didn't come to give speeches or photo ops.👇

The InterAnest.org world tour of CVCs continues! We’re off to hold workshops at IAEM in Dublin. We’re free this evening so we’re doing a non-blinded study if Guinness tastes better in Ireland. Pub somewhere in central Dublin. Drop us a line if you want to join us #talkCVCoveraPintinDublin

Paramedian spinal and epidural is a superior technique and should always be the first hand choice. #hillI’mwillingtodieon

Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands, by targeting the Russian oil industry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Excellent SFAI-25! Pericardiocentesis workshop went great, colleagues from all over the country will #BecomeASeldingerMaster IntetAnest.org / InternetAnestesi.se had the honour of receiving this years teaching prize for our central line academy and our Swedish teaching.

We’re heading to SFAI-25 (the Swedish anesthesia/ICU meeting) in Norrköping! Look us up it you want to chat about how to #BecomesSeldingerMaster there are still spots in our pericardiocentesis workshop.

We’re going to Dublin to share our take on Central Lines how to #BecomeaSeldingerMaster Thanks to IAEM for the invitation. iaem.ie/professional...

Use your CVC-skills to place better pleural effusion chest tubes! Here's a short, check out the long version on our channel. We will now be taking questions. #BecomeaSeldingerMaster youtube.com/shorts/YpTM9...

Ny introkurs om smärtbehandling. Docent Bjurström jobbar numera i Uppsala, men har en oemotståndlig Skånska och kan massor om perioperativ smärta. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I’ve got a new setup that really improves ergonomics for CVCs and regional anaesthesia in theatre. #AnSky

1. Dobropilla och Mezhova börjar mer och mer likna spökstäder. De som bor kvar håller sig inomhus. Byggnader står och brinner utan att släckas. De bilar som passerar kör snabbt igenom. Det är en stor skillnad mot hur det var för 2 månader sedan när det var fullt med liv och rörelse på dessa platser.

Just sent out this free piece. I hear some saying yesterday's summit changed little--nothing could be further from the truth. The summit helped Russia and hurt Ukraine. It had 3 main components. First, US-Russian relations are being normalized in front of our eyes. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

On per capita and in absolute terms Sweden is a very large contributor of the most advanced military hardware to Ukraine. Makes me proud to be a Swede. youtube.com/watch?v=pQIP...

If you are an expert clinician with unique skills you have a responsibility to teach other clinicians, so your skills benefit all the patients that never have the privilege to be treated by you. @ffolliet.bsky.social has a vital blog to teach you how to do that in an effective way.

Zelensky has arrived in Berlin, where he will meet with German Chancellor Merz and take part in a video conference with Trump.

Awsome to see our pericardiocentesis video recomended by @emcrit.bsky.social Use those Central Line skills! #InplaneFTW

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor. Have a weekend

Proximity Poor presentations break proximity with a message that simply lists data. Slides that are beautiful but unrelated separate understanding from meaning. A fluent spoken message from a speaker disconnected from the audience loses impact. Great presentations have proximity.

I know In the Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back, there is a dramatic and romantic moment where Princess Leia calls to Han Solo as he is about to be immersed in Carbonite. "I love you!" she calls. His response has become iconic. The slide below shows how most presentations would relate that…

Har jag förstått det rätt att det är inte bara sjömän och kåkfarare som har tatueringar numera?

What regional technique do you use for total hip replacement? • Pericapsular nerve group block + lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block OR • Erector spinae plane block Which is better in terms of postoperative analgesia and motor impairment? #AnSky #RASky #MedSky #PainSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

Post Edited: You’re a better presenter https://ffolliet.com/2025/07/12/youre-a-better-presenter/

I chattgrupper för journalister i Charkiv varnas nu - som så ofta förr - för risken för ”double-tap”: att ryska anfall upprepas på exakt samma plats, när räddningstjänst, polis och journalister kommit till platsen. Ej ovanligt förekommande.

Russia launched a record missile and drone attack targeting the capital and other cities across Ukraine; Zelensky and Trump held a phone conversation on July 4, agreeing to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses; and more.

Ukraina har många skickliga fotografer - och jag och DN har turen att få jobba med en av de bästa: Karina Piliuhina, från stålstaden Kryvyj Rih. I morgon är hennes porträtt av 19-årige infanteristen Denys på DN:s förstasida.

– Jag är 19, sa Denys. Jag hade trott dig om du hade sagt 15 också, tänkte jag. I främsta försvarslinjen mot Rysslands invasion finns infanteristerna, fotsoldaterna i skyttegravar där risken att dödas eller lemlästas är störst. Idag ger vi röst åt tre av dem, läs! www.dn.se/varlden/deny...

new IBCC chapter: constipation! most ICU patients are constipated, so we manage this on a daily basis. but our approach is often super random ("I was taught this in residency") so I tried to create an evidence-based treatment strategy for constipation...🧵 #1/7 #EMIMCC emcrit.org/ibcc/constip...

Copenhagen to Malmö half marathon. Through the tunnel, over the bridge! Excellent weather.

1. För några dagar sedan fick jag som första svensk följa med inuti en svenskdonerad Archerpjäs på en skarp elduppgift, ”fire mission”, och fick på nära håll se hur de arbetar. Det är en mäktig känsla att sitta i en 15 meter lång och 35 ton tung artilleripjäs som flyger fram över dammiga åkervägar.

I've been thinking about buying a butterfly probe recently but their decision to remotely brick old hardware means it's now never going to happen.

The Ukrainian armed forces and SBU are beyond spectacular. Shoot the archer, not the arrow. 2 Billion dollars worth of irreplaceable planes. Wow. Slava Ukraina.

The purpose of a presentation is not data transfer. If you believe as though it is, you will be disappointed. This fact should change how presentations are constructed, delivered, and received. Data transfer simply does not work;… https://ffolliet.com/2025/05/15/presentation-is-not-data-transfer/

Let’s talk about the Russian Economy! I want to try give you an overview of some to the choices Russia has in some basic terms, and without pulling out too much reference material, so hopefully it will be easier to comprehend. (So the opposite of usual, but you know how I love a reference)

Seldinger guided pleural effusion drain. Very pain free for the patient, safety stop confirming guidewire in pleura before dilation, and resulting in a dorso-caudal drain position. Check out our guide. youtu.be/_yxGNKpZSiQ

Central Line Academy in my own hospital. I only teach in-plane cannulation, from the outset. For ultrasound native, regional-anaesthesia-mastering, allround awesome trainees this is safer, more ergonomic for dr and patient and sets them on the path to master advanced CVCs.

Want to learn our drain techniques? We hold workshops! Catch us at the Swedish society of anaesthesia/ICU meeting, Norrköping Sept 17. Or perhaps at your hospital or conference, we love travel and speaking at length about CVCs and Seldinger drains. mkon.nu/sfaianiva202... youtu.be/61FPmtw5RAM

Eurovision has never caught my interest, by damn it, KAJ är geniuses! A back catalogue of comedy gold. I just bought their greatest hits on vinyl. Beige vinyl of course.

If you are even thinking about presentations beyond which template to use, then you're doing great. Thank you. Keep up the great work. ffolliet.com/2025/05/06/y...

Det är ett närmast perfekt inverst förhållande mellan hur orolig patienten är för ingrepp x och hur stor risk patienten har för komplikationer av ingrepp x. Helt frisk 20-åring med handledsfrsktur: kommer jag dö av sövningen?!? 87-åring med KOL och tät AS: ni är så duktiga det här fixar ni!

Huge respect to @anzca.bsky.social for leaving Twitter behind. Time for other health related organisations to do the same. You have the power to bring the conversation to BlueSky. @safeairwaysociety.org @rcoanews.bsky.social @anaesjournal.bsky.social @bjajournals.bsky.social #ASM25CNS

Freshening up on airways. Awake tracheal intubation is a core competency for all anaesthetist! Use broncoscopy intubation on regular ol’ sleeping cases to get the skills. #asm25cns
