Definitely time to retire clinical signs, but we are lagging behind. I still observe etCO2 comes second to auscultation. "The capnograph should be first, front and center as the tool to exclude oesophageal intubation." #AnSky #AirwaySky

Extreme swings in practice are often erroneous, & it is possible that an all-or-none decision-making process for cricoid force application is one of these errors. Some patients require prophylactic application of cricoid force; some warrant therapeutic application.. #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

Wooah. 18.5% reduction in sick leave reported. (And this was pre-Covid: "Our sample periods for the LEZ and ULEZ analyses are 2005–2009 and 2016–2019, respectively.")

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

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....

Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...

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/... #ansky

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

"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
