That statement can easily have undesired consequences.

Let’s not turn waiting lists of a failing health care system into “justified” preparation lists.

That is not to take away the benefits of health optimisation preoperatively.

What goes through anaesthetists’ minds before and during emergency front of neck access?

What can we learn from those who have performed eFONA?

17 UK anaesthetists interviewed by a psychologist on their experience of #eFONA for #CICO

2 meta themes emerged:

1. Making the decision is the hardest part; the doing is easier

2. What helps make the decision?

Important message from this study on emergency front of neck access for CICO:

Making the decision is the hardest part; the doing is easier.

Excellent paper! And very useful for anaesthetists as cancer treatment is not well covered by our curricula. Well done, @drsusannahp.bsky.social !

I enjoyed it… I’ll go risking being cancelled and say it was better than Die Hard…

Really proud of this one! Well done to the whole team and collaborators for helping publish this important paper!

Not convinced in the slightest by this paper… previous evidence a bit non-convincing either.
We don’t do this yet. Maybe, when and if there is some actual evidence of effect.

However, it may be useful in settings where uterotonics are not widely available. As a “can’t hurt” strategy.

How do we best care for patients undergoing gender affirming vocal cord surgery and manage future #anaesthesia without damaging the vocal cords?
