I made this video as a brief overview of NIV & T2RF and I’m pretty pleased with it! Share as you please :)

Very pleased this has now been published in full technicolour!🥳
The Non-Invasive Ventilation Outcomes (#NIVO) score works in patients requiring NIV for 'COPD exacerbation' but who do not have prior evidence of airflow obstruction #NIV #RespIsBest🫁📚🧑🔬

A point I’ve never considered in trache weaning and rehab highlighted by Emma Rybicki @AtosMedicalUK @NTSP_UK
Using a OOV with cuff deflation allows a patient to perform a valsalva manoeuvre through resorted glottic closure.. this helps brace for mobility & toileting!
Great talk from Brendan McGrath on early cuff deflation in ITU @AtosMedicalUK..
🏡 LOS shortened with early cuff deflation
➕ve pressure is not lost when the cuff is deflated on TIV
➕ve pressure can be helpful to push saliva etc up and out when the cuff is deflated
Interesting discussion around the use of atropine administration sublingually for saliva management..
1. Where in the mouth do people place/advise to use the drops?
2. Do you drop directly into the mouth or administer on a spoon?
3. Do you advise good saliva/mouth clearance pre?
A handy resource produced by @dorindamoffatt to guide the management of acute choking episodes in MND @mndeducation @mndassoc

We are looking for healthcare professionals involved in cough and secretion management in people with #MND to join our virtual focus groups
⭐️ Friday 8th December 9am-10am
⭐️ Tuesday 9th January 9am - 10am
Please contact me on here or via email if you would like to participate – at London, England
Assessment (and treatment) needs to be:
1. Holistic (small to big picture)
2. Responsive to a changing clinical picture / disease progression / patient wishes and priorities
3. Cyclical
4. Systematic and joined up across professionals and teams

Today I have the pleasure of supporting the @mndassoc @mndeducation study day in London on all things secretion management and airway clearance. Great line up of speakers @Char_Massey @JodiAllenSLT @michellechatwin @dorindamoffatt
Excellent videos from @Char_Massey & @JodiAllenSLT talking about the upper airway in MND. I’ve always thought about glottic closure issues but not necessarily glottis opening issues and laryngospasm 🤔 @mndassoc

Take home points from the first talk of the NMP meeting @TheACPRC
Carbocysteine has a diurnal effect - include a pre-bed dose. Should be weaned to a maintenance dose of 1500mg daily. 45% remain on the higher initiation dose
New mucoactive drugs to explore: Erdosteine & NACSYS
Also great for those working in ITU.. this patient group will always be cared for in ITU if admitted, so great to learn about how things differ for them at home and how to best support them during admissions!
The Invasive Tracheostomy Ventilation at Home training - taking place at Chelsea Football Ground - will give healthcare professionals, carers and patients the hands-on skills they need to deliver effective #Tracheostomy care at home.

Have you heard that Breas have temporarily withdrawn their Lung Volume Recruitment bag from the market? Are you panicking? Don’t worry! You can buy all the components from @intersurgical
Here’s the component list

Do you work with people with MND?
@MNDoutcomes are looking for clinicians to support a project looking at quality of life in #MND
See below ⬇️
Tell me I’m not alone in finding this irritating?
* if not, you must be a culprit of writing a fraction of inspired oxygen as a percentage
Planning my session for the @RBHHomeVent trache vent study days - what would be most helpful to learn on the topic of leaving hospital for new and existing trache vent patients? @SiLVaH_UK @TheACPRC
