Use of Intralipid in a Propranolol/Quetiapine induced cardiac arrest - our poster today at #SOA25 Evidence for lipid rescue is (and will likely remain) limited, but it really was an inspiring and uplifting case to have been a part of - ROSC after 76 mins CPR and an excellent neurological outcome.

As excited as I am to see The Bleep Test released on Audible on Tuesday, not too sure about their similar authors algorithm 😂😂 #MedSky #AnSky

I was asked in a recent webinar whether The Bleep Test has an audiobook version, and very soon the answer will be yes! Looking forward to the audiobook release in a couple of weeks, read and brought to life by Stewart Crank. tantor.com/the-bleep-te... #medsky

Great to talk to the final year students @uofglasgow.bsky.social medical school today about working night shifts and recognising the peri-arrest patient; Any patient with actual or impending organ failure, not rapidly reversible with the people / knowledge / kit currently present #medsky #ansky

@pulmcrit.bsky.social Hi Josh, I was wondering - the IBCC chapter for SCAPE says bolus 1000-2000mcg nitroglycerine initially, but the Resus Crisis Manual chapter says 200-400mcg +/- repeat in 2 mins. Any tips / pitfalls for judging the initial dose here? Thanks!

Changeover day tomorrow. For lots of FY1s who have done psychiatry or something else niche as their first rotation, it will feel like the first Wednesday of August all over again. Be kind out there folks. #MedSky

Lying in recovery after my surgery, it hurt more than I expected to hear the staff talking about "the sigmoidectomy in bed 3". Changing to "the guy who had the sigmoidectomy, in bed 3" would have been so much better. I'm sure I've made this mistake myself in the past. Words matter #Medsky #Ansky

Recently recovering from a robotic high anterior resection, it was actually music, whole albums at a time, I was listening to - not my normal podcasts Interesting to see this systematic review + meta-analysis: post-op music reduces HR, anxiety, opioid use & pain www.facs.org/media-center....

Exciting day coming up....'Small Numbers, Big Ideas' will be published tomorrow! Thank you very much to everyone who gave such kind reviews! We hope it'll be useful for lots of parents, teachers, TAs and school leaders. www.amazon.co.uk/Small-Number... #eduskyprimary #edusky #primarymaths

"A remarkable book. Luke Austen writes beautifully, sharing real-life stories to illustrate many of the key issues that will face doctors throughout their careers. His wisdom and compassion come shining through. Highly recommended." Professor Sir David Haslam Past President, BMA

Resident doctors are overwhelmed with requests for help with research, audits, QIPs, teaching med students...the list continues. All for free, on top of full-time work. How To Say No, on the Hidden Brain podcast: hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-... #MedSky #HiddenBrain
