Working to avoid #LookAlikeDrugs 👏to Fresenius Kabi for changing their labelling of rocuronium after input from Hospital Trust🤩 Had meetings with pharma industry and Hospital trust procurement committee, all positive, but we need international partners! Wanna join? #ansky #anesthesia #patientsafety
Jeg har ikke tatt i bruk ChatGPT, og derfor kan jeg heller ikke avslutte bruken av det. Men det ser ut som et godt initiativ. #QuitGPT www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...
Far more than 30... And I really liked the "spoon" introducer for the ProSeal 👍

Please comment, agree/disagree/other suggestions! Having meetings with pharma industry and Hospital procurement trust soon. Would be very helpful to get international feedback. Please DM me if you want more details 👍 #ansky #medsky #patientsafety #LookAlikeDrugs
What would you do to reduce #LookAlikeDrugs in #anesthesia?
1: Consistent use of ISO/ASTM-standard color from outer packaging to final product?
2:Transferable labels?
3: Generic name most prominent?
4: Red cap/label and warning on NMBA?
Other things?
Good and bad examples shown. #ansky
On your way to a pharma meeting about #LookAlikeDrugs in #anesthesia, you find a magic lamp. 🧞

Definitely time to retire clinical signs, but we are lagging behind. I still observe etCO2 comes second to auscultation. "The capnograph should be first, front and center as the tool to exclude oesophageal intubation." #AnSky #AirwaySky
Extreme swings in practice are often erroneous, & it is possible that an all-or-none decision-making process for cricoid force application is one of these errors. Some patients require prophylactic application of cricoid force; some warrant therapeutic application..

Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Wooah. 18.5% reduction in sick leave reported.
(And this was pre-Covid:
"Our sample periods for the LEZ and ULEZ analyses are 2005–2009 and 2016–2019, respectively.")
Pass it on.

Pneumothorax in children - X-ray? We are having a trauma simulation this week, with a child around 2 years. Is there anyone who has or knows where to find a chest radiograph of a child with left-sided PTX, both initial and with a chest tube inserted? Nothing in Radiopedia....
Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...
Totally agree! Found suggestions for roc 0,2 mg/kg on the link, but no references. Indications for sux are narrowing here, and many prefer roc for RSI. Is there then still a place where sux can not be replaced, in situations like this? I mean yes, but lacks evidence 🤓

Low dose suxamethonium is well known "last resort" for rapid treatment of #laryngospasm. Is there any evidence at all for the use of #rocuronium in lower dose than intubationdose 1,0-1,2 mg/kg? emergencycarebc.ca/clinical_res... suggests 0,2 mg/kg,but without references. Anyone? #AirwaySky #AnSky

Is there one model to rule them all? Well tbh I think it doesn't matter all that much, as long as you know your model well!
You can find a more detailed explanation on my website: hibalazs.net/anaesthesia/...

About to finish a rev of the airway chapter in a Norwegian textbook in Nurse Anesthesia. I've included flextension for positioning, increased focus on VL, CO2, not only auscultation, physiological difficult airway, 1st vs 2nd Gen SAD etc. What more is "new" to? Suggestions? #AirwaySky #AnSky
But what about temperature and humidity of inspired air? Need for humidifier and warming instead? 🤔
"Home made" quiz game for my Nurse Anesthetist students today, always a success, and an easy go-to when my lessons were a bit bad planned 😜Empty vials/ampoules as game piece makes it extra fun. "I want to be remi!" #Ansky
