Flexible #bronchoscopy is the gold standard for tracheal #intubation in patients with difficult airways but sedation and GA frequently cause upper airway obstruction. High-flow nasal oxygenation can improve glottic view. bjanaesthesia.org/article/S0…

Adding ketamine to #propofol #TIVA raises BIS values, shifting toward a peak-max pattern of phase–amplitude coupling (PAC). This reflects altered EEG dynamics, supporting PAC metrics in depth-of-anaesthesia monitoring #bjaopen bjaopen.org/article/S2772-60…

Here is the first consensus-based core outcome set for airway management research, with agreed definitions and measurement instruments. This will harmonise evidence synthesis and improve the translatability of findings to improve clinical care. @VirtueOfNothing @doctimcook @elboghdadly #anaesthesia #Airway #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.70026

The chance of having an allergic reaction to a neuromuscular blocking drug is: • suxamethonium: ~1 in 1500 people • rocuronium: ~1 in 3300 people • atracurium: ~1 in 15,000 people Women were up to eight times more likely to have a reaction than men. #anaesthesia #MedTwitter #allergy doi.org/10.1111/anae.70058
