High-flow nasal oxygen in obstetric practice – where do we stand?
"... it would be premature to conclude that HFNO represents a superior method of pre-oxygenation to facemask oxygen in obstetric practice."
#AnSky #MedSky #OBSky #RespSky
https://buff.ly/3Xi39in
How do we measure the efficacy of pre-oxygenation?
Purpose: to delay the onset of oxygen desaturation & complete airway management without hypoxaemia
Important measures:
• time-to-desaturation
• incidence of oxygen desaturation

We may not always see the impact of our actions, but every kind word, every careful dose, and every moment spent listening has the power to heal in ways we’ll never fully know. 🙌 #medsky #pharmsky #nursesky #respsky #physiosky #health
The main causes of occupational asthma are set out in Section C of HSE's Asthmagen Compendium - www.hse.gov.uk/asthma/asset... 𝟑/𝟑
#MedSky #RespSky #RespEd
Like other types of asthma, occupational asthma can cause chest tightness, wheezing, breathlessness, runny nose, nasal congestion, eye irritation & tearing.
#MedSky #RespSky #RespEd 𝟐/𝟑
Asthma affects the lives of more than 5.4 million people across the UK. It is a serious problem and should not be underestimated. Asthma is heterogeneous disease with different phenotypes including atopic(allergic), eosinophilic, non-eosinophilic & non-atopic asthma. #MedSky #RespSky #RespEd
Misconceptions in asthma care #MedSky #RespSky #RespEd
1. Asthma can occur at any age
2. Asthma is not infectious.
3. When asthma is well controlled, asthma subjects are able to exercise and even perform top sport.
4. Asthma is most often controllable with low dose inhaled steroids
Asthma care #MedSky #RespSky
There are many factors that can and should be improved in the management of asthma. Here are the basics for good standard of care.

Many deaths from #asthma are preventable. Vital that patients are assessed, risk stratified when they exacerbate & managed accordingly with due diligence. #RespSky #Lung#MedSky #Pulmonology 🫁
Figure 2: Hemodynamic changes following CPAP, acetazolamide, and acetazolamide plus CPAP treatments. Individual data of office mean arterial pressure (top panels) and aortic augmentation index (bottom panels) at baseline and follow-up in the CPAP, acetazolamide, and acetazolamide plus CPAP groups. Mean values at baseline and follow-up are indicated by the solid black bars. Significance values refer to comparison within groups. CPAP = continuous positive airway pressure.
#acetazolamide have been shown in multiple studies to be favourable in sleep apnoea, here is one RCT in OSA , vs CPAP or both jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/... #RespSky #medsky
Exactly. Why do people say the patient has “known COPD”?
They couldn’t very well have “unknown COPD” 🫁 🙃
