#Finger cuff and #oscillometric BP measurements are as reliable compared to #arterial measurements in #cardiac patients, according to Bergholz et al. Finger cuffs could potentially replace arm/leg cuffs.

Pleased to be a co-author of #GLIMPSE 47,039 patients, 119 UK sites.
Lots of discussion since publication, but the finding I keep coming back to: events in patients on GLP-1 RAs occurred most commonly during emergence
Not simply an induction problem

Lots of interest in RSI recently. This includes 2 PFDs to the College in the last year (with possibly more to come)
The College, Association & DAS have put out a statement on RSI
It won’t be the last word on the topic

After years of working in thoracic anaesthesia, there comes a moment when you realise the gap between what you were taught and what you actually need to know.
For me, that gap was in One Lung Ventilation.
It's one of the most technically demanding parts of our practice, yet for a long time, dedicated teaching just wasn't there. So I made it my mission to change that.
l've spent years teaching and building resources for anaesthetists, ODPs and cardiothoracic teams at all stages of their careers to pave the way for confident, well-prepared clinicians. Because when the teaching is right, better outcomes follow.
That's why I built the FREE ONE-LUNG UK tutorial series.
You can already watch the teaser videos now on tagguk.com Inkd.in/eeCw9XKC
The full chapters drop this Thursday.
And if you want hands-on experience, join us for the live ONE-LUNG UK course on 29th May at Guy's Hospital.

Absolutely totally 💯 agree with @doctimcook
As a community we MUST strive for Universal Capnography & Videolaryngoscopy at every site where airways are managed @dasairway @UniversalAirway @canecsa @wfsaorg @FayeEva94541105 @Smiletrain

In this prehospital study, it was demonstrated that all esophageal intubated patients undergoing CPR exhibited measurable CO2 during the initial ventilation attempts; values that were higher than expected in attenuated cardiac arrest physiology. All esophageal traces showed a downward trend in time and reached or approached zero within eight ventilation attempts, whereas this was not seen in the tracheal traces during ongoing CPR. 📖 resuscitationjournal.com/art…

When VL was used as the first-choice device:
⬇️ patients experiencing at least 1 complication (5.5% vs. 9.7%)
⬇️ 3+ intubation attempts (1.2% v 2%)
⬇️ need to change operator (1.8% vs. 4.9%)
⬇️ oesophageal intubation (0.5% vs. 1.4%)

🚨We have retired "no trace, wrong place" to align with PUMA guidelines.
Instead, with @Assoc_Anaes and @dasairway, our message is if sustained exhaled CO2 is not detected, then oesophageal intubation must be excluded.
See our dedicated webpage 👉ow.ly/vOZs50WA03r
