Dr Lyons in front of a blank slide!

Dr Lyons continues. This is making for a very entertaining debate. This was a brilliant choice for the final session of the conference.

"Here is the slide covering the robust evidence that TIVA is superior for RSI than hand bolus followed by turning on a volatile."

Speaking against TIVA in this afternoon's #WSM2026 debate, Dr Craig Lyons first illustrates the number of ways in which we have also "modified" or allowed variation in practice when it comes to RSI.

There are apparently over 3000 combinations available on this slide alone.

Dr Barley stands in front of the lectern, in front of a slide titled "Dose with pragmatism". 

Highlighted text below says "...an induction that takes 30s would seem unnecessarily quick, but an induction that takes 3 min might be unduly long."

Dr Barley stands in front of the lectern, in front of a slide titled "Dose with pragmatism". Highlighted text below says "...an induction that takes 30s would seem unnecessarily quick, but an induction that takes 3 min might be unduly long."

Mark Barley has a lot of style as a debater.

Talking about speed of onset for induction when using TIVA TCI for RSI, he asks "is it too slow?"

The paper he is quoting from would suggest not. He then adds...

"I know my opponent will agree with me about this paper. He wrote it."

Dr Barley is delivering a rousing and entertaining talk. He does that!

Resilience is:

The ability to stay flexible when things are hard.

The ability to bounce back after something difficult.

Resilience is: The ability to stay flexible when things are hard. The ability to bounce back after something difficult.

Resilience has become a bit of a dirty word in recent years, placing the emphasis on the individual rather than the system that is stretching them.

However, it is still useful to talk about it.

Definitions of resilience often come down to elasticity and flexibility, as here.

We must learn from mistakes AND near misses (air misses).

We must challenge behaviours that make safety harder to achieve.

Human being take cognitive shortcuts, and it is tempting to assume you are right.

Mr Alan McEwen, international air traffic controller stands in front of a slide showing two planes about to hit one another, on the Association of Anaesthetists stage.

Mr Alan McEwen, international air traffic controller stands in front of a slide showing two planes about to hit one another, on the Association of Anaesthetists stage.

Alan McEwen, international air traffic controller, talks about how to avoid error when the perceived risk is low, but the results of getting it wrong are catastrophic.

The first lesson is that it is really hard to "solve" the problem. It requires constant reinforcement and cultural shift.
