What great feedback to wake up to in the morning. Would love to hear what made it good, and where we can still grow. Education goes both ways, and we have the privilege of working with (and being challenged by) amazing talent. – at Greyton, South Africa

The high #perioperative #mortality in Africa in #ASOS prompted #ASOS2 to study whether increased surveillance would decrease deaths. It didn’t, but we now have much more data and insight on how to move forward towards saving lives.

Heya tweeps! Getting a feel for whether you’ve ever made use of the OpenAirway.org site for your own learning or teaching purposes, & whether you’d be willing to write a brief (1-paragraph) review to support an open textbook grant application. DM if keen… #airway #FOAM

authors.elsevier.com/c/1cGN4… Our obstetric airway registry suggests a notable increased risk of desaturation during intubation in women with preeclampsia. This may be due to both physiological and anatomical airway changes. @rosshofmeyr @maretha_smit @DykDominique @UCTAnaesthesia
