What do tactile fremitus and OR fires have in common? Why we keep doing things that don't make sense: radial art lines, NPO after midnight, Trendelenberg position, etc?
Checkout my new blog post about Ritual and Reason in Medicine.

Good change! Context is critical.
Avoiding unrecognised oesophageal intubation
The @RCoA & @dasairway have agreed to drop ‘no trace wrong place’
The message now is that we need to exclude oesophageal intubation by identifying SUSTAINED EXHALED CO2
This requires 4 elements
-CO2 rises & falls with respiration
-sustained (non-fading, >7 cycles)
-amplitude >1 KPa
-clinically appropriate
It replaces ‘no trace wrong place’ which is insufficient & therefore inadequate
See these two updated webpages

(1/x) Intubating patients with shock in the ICU is by far the most dangerous bedside procedure we perform in ALL of medicine.
There is a 3.1% cardiac arrest rate during ICU intubations (JAMA 2021: PMID 33755076)
Here’s how you can make it as safe (as possible) 👇
