If you are in Canada and expecting to go into labour anytime soon, please do NOT buy your own epidural catheters online! These kits are not authorized by Health Canada and will NOT be used, so don't waste your money. Anesthesia colleagues please retweet 🙏
(1/2) #HealthCanada is working to help alleviate the current shortage of epidural catheters being reported in several provinces.

"Just an anesthesiologist" should be a rally cry for our specialty
I am proud to be a physician who specializes in anesthesiology. I am proud of my colleagues who provide critical care and pain medicine, who fight for patient safety, who don't seek the limelight.

This article captures the zeitgeist for mindfulness during anesthesia induction (and extubation)
Focus & only relevant communication during pivotal times, for nursing, surgery or anesthesia, is an inexpensive initiative for patient safety & care

How do you handle your opioids in the O.R.? Lock them up or leave them lying around, unattended? Is your controlled substance disposal secure or retrievable? So much local variability! Read about our QI journey to do better: rdcu.be/cFkyv
