Are motor-sparing approaches universally advantageous or are their benefits more limited and contingent on careful patient selection?
Here is a tiered, patient-centred decision model about prioritising function or analgesia.

Following this article have mostly gone over to this as first line and haven't regretted it.
🚨We have retired "no trace, wrong place" to align with PUMA guidelines.
Instead, with @assocanaes.bsky.social and @dasairway.bsky.social, our message is that if sustained exhaled CO2 is not detected, then oesophageal intubation must be ruled out.

Resident opinion: In UK unworkable as a separate rota. Core skill, at least for anyone on an on-call rota, but hard to get adequate consistent exposure during training to build mastery. If there is a resident in the building they should be at least offered the chance to watch.
Yep this, little finger/back of left hand stabilizes between back, with thumb and index finger pinching wing and working as a brake to control speed of advance.
The Bluesky Anaesthesia feed has been updated to include posts matching common anaesthetic keywords from a list of accounts from anaesthetists/anesthesiologists.
Still using the Hacker News algorithm to balance sorting by popularity/recency.

How should we teach junior anaesthetists to perform regional anaesthesia? What educational approaches work and how will new technologies affect it?

Well worth a watch
Hey #AnSky #HFESky - a weekend topic for you:
a) What have been the greatest Human Factors / Ergonomics advances in anaesthetics in the last 100 years?
b) What, if anything, has anaesthetics contributed to the wider field of HF/E?
Thank you to all my ODP colleagues for all the incredible things you do #NationalODPday
'Anaesthesia explained' is our new animation for patients that explains:

One of the differences between Twitter and Bluesky is that 'likes' don't count for anything other than encouraging the person who wrote the post. It doesn't boost views or 'upvote' the post on followers TLs. If you want to disseminate, you have to retweet or quote tweet.
Surely this just reflects 'absence of evidence' rather than 'evidence of absence', given the extremely low incidence of aspiration (1 in 4K in elective surgery).
The authors acknowledge that risk could have increased by up to 1 in 2K cases. A 200% increase in risk of commonest cause of anaes death.

🔷Straightforward process that aims to increase fairness.

The "messy middle" of change: gap in the change process between intent/ambition & the ability of a system/org/team to make progress. Without methods to motivate people to work towards something new, we may never get past it.

IJ: Great Circle has been fab, almost reminiscent of traditional point and clicks in pacing and story telling, but modernised. Must give AK a go some time.
