I’ve used @todoist.com for years and love #GTD, but the 20-section limit per project is a constraint. It makes inbox processing harder unless each project is a section.

Anyone cracked a clean GTD setup in Todoist?

Possibly a step towards better eco-anaesthesia, but recognise this is unclear and debated. I'm more convinced that removing desflurane will not be a step backwards (i.e. non-inferior) given access to remifentanil TCI when indicated.

I’ve seen many ways to track tasks/jobs in acute hospitals, but most lack customisation or rely on messy pen & paper. Does anyone use a good digital tool for this? #HealthcareTech #HospitalWorkflow #TaskManagement #AnSky

I've found a combination of deep work principles (of Cal Newport fame), Podomoro technique and Focus Modes have really turned things upside down to get quality up in less time. Would be interested to hear of other's success with these ideas! #productivity #AcademicSky

Interested in learning how clinicians use R in their workplace - anyone happy to share examples? #AnSky #AcademicSky #R #DataScience

To my eyes, a good idea with TXA being a medication that would be needed rapidly, and often requires 2 ampules to draw up. Human factors everywhere, including presence of multiple 10ml syringes.

There needs to be thorough security and justified reason for any healthcare data being shared between anyone.

This case is the routine step of a patient reviewing a case report prior to submission to a medical journal - just trying to streamline it and make it easier for those involved.

Thank you. This is a UK based project so looking for compliance with UK equivalent however. Good to know these 2 are potentials!

What’s the best way to get a patient’s electronic signature on a case report without posting a physical copy? Surely this is possible in today’s health systems? #AnSky #AcademicSky

Excited to say the book 'Geriatric Surgery and Perioperative Care' will be released next week - a project that I've had the privilege of contributing a chapter to with Dr Tanuja Shah. I sincerely hope it helps #perioperativemedicine #olderpatient #AnSky

I don’t have any comparison to other software but I have found using Zotero very straightforward - no issues so far πŸ‘

Multiple studies show that total intravenous anaesthesia has a lower carbon footprint than inhalational anaesthesia.

This sustainable practice article discusses switching from inhaled to intravenous general #anaesthesia
