Thanks to all contributing and liking the newly named #MedSkyDebate, this week’s debate came from Nicholas Chrimes @chrimesy.com. Some days I feel as though I am yelling into the @bsky.app#MedSkyDebateclouds but each debate seems to get more engagement. Thank you 🥰

Here’s the midweek #AnSkyMedSkyDebate AFOI should only be done by people who do 20+ a year. There should be a separate on call service for AFOI staffed by experienced practitioners. Thanks to @lotusgav.bsky.social for the suggestion. Not necessarily his opinion 😇 #AnSky #MedSky

This seems fine. #NSW #CycloneBomb

People think I'm biased against Jeff Bezos, but here's Sartoria F. Caraceni, widely considered one of the best bespoke tailoring houses in the world, commenting on Bezos's wedding suit. "The most terrible, frightening, horrible tuxedo ever seen in my life. I'm really suffering"

Used here too by me years ago. My vet friend let me intubate then isoflurane. Not an awake intubation!

Are YOU Dave? If so, we have an event for you based purely on this social media manager’s whim to create a Dave Day. LET’S GO DAVES!

Calling all Dave researchers! @altmetric.com hosting a Dave Day! 😂😂

This is brilliant. The more Daves we can involve the better. Altmetric might host a “Dave Day” where only researchers called Dave are invited.

All anaesthetists are called Dave.

you are going to poison the planet with anaesthesia just chose atmosphere or fish

We've developed FAQs and patient information for clinicians to use when talking to patients using GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists. Read the latest here: www.anzca.edu.au/news-and-saf...

These videos from the Wellcome Trust archive are also brilliant for the anaesthesia history nerd.

So I was a trainee at St Thomas' when Trilene was being discontinued and I remember Felicity Reynolds bought 40 bottles of the stuff as a personal stock for obstetric anaesthesia. #CarbonDateMe

It is Friday in Australia so it’s time for the weekend #AnSkyMedSkyDebate with a topic from @sethina.bsky.social#AnSkyMedSkyDebate It’s a cracker….. “Bring back DESFLURANE” What do you think #AnSky and #MedSky?? Let the debate begin!!

Turns out targeting a particular blood pressure while under anaesthesia doesn’t make much difference, and the permissive group actually had less atrial fibrillation. #rcoaupdates

At present we have no good evidence that spinal or general anaesthesia impacts on important outcomes for patients with hip fracture. Every anaesthetist should be able to offer and deliver both with confidence and competence. #AnSky

Absolutely. I was disappointed that the new ICS guidance on confirming correct central line placement makes no reference to the ipsilateral nipple

Ok #MedSky and #AnSky this is part 2 of my last day at our major anaesthetic conference #ASM25CNS in Cairns. A supposedly sunny part of Far North Queensland. Naturally it rained every day constantly. It was a sensational conference, raincoats on xx

Last post from ASM25CNS in Cairns is my social and party photos. We worked hard and played hard. If you don’t want to see them just move on. It is a LOT of fun. I have great colleagues xx #AnSky #MedSky @anzca.bsky.social @anzca-fpm.bsky.social#AnSky

Beware the rise in sugammadex and roc use leading to anaphylaxis - Dani Crimmins #ASM25CNS

Great ANZCA Environmental Sustainability Network (ESN) session this morning at #ASM25CNS, including Counties' Dr Matt Taylor's talk advocating for the role of technology in capturing volatile anaesthetic agents.

…want to make it better. Whether that is making sure their acute or chronic health conditions are addressed to minimising the risk of anaesthesia and surgery. And ensuring that the patients feel confident in how we are looking after them. That’s it - we just want the best for patients.

Honoured to have been part of #ASM25CNS Fantastic meeting. Caught up with friends old & new. Learned many things. Inexplicably went for an early morning run. Congrats to the new #ANZCA fellows. Thanks for the hospitality!

Thanks for coming @drkevinfong.bsky.social been great to have you and thank you so much for your many and varied contributions! #ASM25CNS @anzca.bsky.social

Dr Sandy Dawson Rural Generalist from Thursday Island …. …. Aka ‘Dr Unqualified Baby’ on the EMR for a year ….😬😂… #ASM25CNS

Love these Dave’s. Smart, wise, kind, generous, optimistic, hard-working, jokes a bit mid. #AllAnaesthetistsAreCalledDave #Daversity #ASM25CNS

Distances in the Northern Territory are huge. This patient travelled 28 hours to get to the pre-admission clinic in Darwin. Life expectancy gap is 5000 days for First Nations People in Australia. Dr Edith Waugh. #ASM25CNS

How lovely to hear from Prof Caroline de Costa at the equity breakfast #ASM25CNS. FNQ Obstetrician legend outlining her decades long work here with obgyn outreach. How nice to hear her acknowledge the anaesthetists she has worked with helping women in remote communities together.

Wow thank you so much Dr Nicholas Chrimes. What an absolute champion you are. #ASM25CNS

Busy day at #ASM25CNS This is a summary of what I went to. Buckle up it’s a big thread.

Happy may the fourth! From anaesthetist to hospital #Jedi workshop happening now at #ASM25CNS showing how you can use lightsaber exercises to practise mindfulness. Healthy doctors = more sustainable workforce. #AnSky

It’s the start of the Antipodean weekend and that means #AnSkyMedSkyDebate time. Here’s the question: TIVA: bees knees or emperor’s new clothes? What do you think? What would you choose for you? Why? @anzca.bsky.social @rcoanews.bsky.social @assocanaes.bsky.social @maffygirl.medsky.social

Early morning breakfast in Cairns with the legendary #ASM25CNS Dr Andrew Potter. Workshop day. He’s pumped! 💪🏼
