Do you look after patients having an emergency laparotomy? ๐Ÿ˜ท If so, we'd love your views for a trial evaluating high-dose dexamethasone.

Handheld ultrasound versus palpation technique for radial artery cannulation in conscious patients before noncardiac surgery: an open-label randomised controlled study

We did a randomised trial comparing #ultrasound & palpitation for #perioperative arterial commutation and found no difference in success rates.

In my practice I increasingly use US first line.

Depth of anaesthesia monitoring aims to guide anaesthesia dosage to avoid #BurstSuppression or arousal reaction. However, sole reliance on #pEEG risks under- or overdosing anaesthetics, especially in the elderly

This Is How Tesla Will Die The vultures are circling the tech giant.

I did not realise that Tesla is built on a house of cards.

This is akin to the subprime fiasco except thankfully it won't effect as many people across the world. People must be mad to have Tesla shares.

They need to bite the bullet and accept their losses and get out!

This is just appalling, absolutely no one should be re sitting. They should also be heavily reimbursed for both the exam fee and any job ramifications. Medicine seems to get away with things other structures and organisations donโ€™t.

Spine injections should not be given to adults with chronic back pain because they provide little or no pain relief compared with sham injections, say a panel of international experts in this recommendation.

Surgical patients most are commonly prescribed reninโ€“angiotensin system (#RAAS) inhibitors. Effective RAAS inhibition was associated with lower risk of #postop #myocardialinjury independent of stopping or continuing RAAS inhibitors before surgery. #Ansky

Oddly enough, โ€œstop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobsโ€ does not feature as a proposed solution.

This is the culmination of many years work by the OPTIMISE trial team. Well done to all involved. Important clinical question that we now have the answer to.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesnโ€™t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Hereโ€™s some tips for getting your bearings.
