Optimising your anaesthetic practice. A thread 🧵 #MedTwitter

@catherineroyuk Yep there absolutely should be representation from anaesthesia or OAA given the increasing complexity of obstetrics and ongoing issues with reports of inadequate analgesia in labouring women 🤯

First reaction, where are the anaesthetists? 1 Pushing women to forgo epidurals is at the heart of how the maternity system is set up and at the heart of inequalities 2 Intrapartum care is getting more complex, requiring their expertise 1/

North East emergency care team gets 'life-saving' boost hexham-courant.co.uk/news/25919012.…

@isitsleepytime The NHS can’t guarantee most graduates a job for their first five years… how would that work??

I imagine this would generate some very uncomfortable questions about where all the training money is going… If you want to institute something like this students deserve to know what their indentured servitude is paying for.

@agemjourney Cappuccini audit?! Very specific to anaesthetics and can do it in a day - could close the loop and repeat after a month

Is involvement in audit/QIP crucial for getting into anaesthetics? Bc I have been TRYING to get involved in one but can't find one anywhere. #MedTwitter I'm hoping to attend a conference, do taster days, I'm on an anaesthetic rotation now + have teaching experience + PGCert

@jemmm85517813 @MrPLC Not sure you understand causation and association there… 🤔

@MrPLC A carpenter who came to work for us had had to have a heart valve replacement.His doctors told him they were seeing a lot of this problem because of the injections. We have seen many others harmed.

There was no pandemic… There was a carefully, cunningly organised psyop. The aim was to inject everyone.

Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today. Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025. Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon. Now here's what you're "saving": Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity. Coal costs $69–$169/MWh. Wind costs $27–$53/MWh. Solar costs $38–$78/MWh. 99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind. That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room. And the human cost of what you're "saving"? 460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023) All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.

Since this has done the rounds please consider supporting a local volunteer run charity looking to improve out of hospital cardiac arrest outcomes in the North East 🙏 linktr.ee/neimmediatecare

@todayyearsold The comments in this thread are terrifying. What did people think an epidural catheter was?

Hold up You’re telling me epidural is not a shot?? 😭

A crash cart is what we use when someone’s dying, it holds the defibrillator and emergency drugs and airway devices for cardiac arrest. Think about this: I’ve seen hospitals tell terrified staff, “We’ll have the crash cart ready, just in case,” before forcing the Covid shot. It’s truly simple, if a “vaccine” needs a crash cart, it’s not safe… God bless

@stkirsch @DrNeilStone

RFK Jr. is EXACTLY right. @drneilstone is lying to you (as usual).

🚨 Anesthesiologists face a hidden occupational risk: intervertebral disc prolapse. Surveys report up to 24% with symptomatic, imaging-confirmed disease—far higher than the general population. 🧵⬇️ bjanaesthesia.org/article/S0007-…

@Kamutakkenal This technique has definitely never saved a life

A simple trick that could save a life.

.@ERunswickBMA talking sense on #BBBreakfast. Why are we turning away doctors when the NHS is crying out for them? Why has Wes Streeting refused to negotiate with the BMA for months?

@LBC @KemiBadenoch An MP with an estimated net worth of £3 million telling resident doctors on £18/hr they’re “paid relatively well.” 🫠

'Wes Streeting has been made to look like a fool.' Tory leader @KemiBadenoch calls for doctors' strikes to be banned altogether.

GB News presenter Andrew Pierce says resident doctors don't deserve [to have their pay restored]. Richard Madeley helpfully intervenes, "don't you really mean it can't be afforded" Pierce: "That's what I mean" Susanna Reid: "to be fair that's not what you said" #GMB

@Simonincheshire @anaesthetic_spr @JoshFG I would genuinely love for an MP to come join me on a critical care night shift in that case…

@anaesthetic_spr @JoshFG I’m a doctor and have many medical friends. I also have MP friends. Very few doctors experience anything like the pressure and workload of a good MP

So as a doctor you don’t believe you’re responsible for patients safety?

@cpeedell @TheBMA @BMAResidents Specialty doctors (like myself) and Consultants will be working to cover the strikes and if Trusts need derogations due to safety issues the BMA will address these on a case by case basis. Things have been getting bad for years with less cover…

@GasDocYates @TheBMA @BMAResidents Agree 100%. That’s why I support IA. But the flu curve is currently steep and we don’t know where it is going. That is my concern. Things could get bad quite suddenly. That’s my fear. Hope I am wrong. Anyway, it’s up to Residents.

I’m a big supporter of #Resident doctors’ strike action because pay erosion has been shocking, but the #NHS and the nation is now in an Emergency situation with Flu. The numbers are scary. It’s time for @TheBMA @BMAResidents to *postpone* the strike until this crisis is over.

@cpeedell @TheBMA @BMAResidents Surely a healthcare crisis is not a reason for the BMA to postpone strikes. It is a reason for the health secretary to do his job and settle the strikes with a serious offer. The health crisis shows why the government MUST invest in the NHS and its workforce.
