@DrGetafix @PetersPOCUS @asumultrasound @AIUMultrasound @EMUGs_ @ANZCA @acemonline Interesting. Seems that effectiveness of wiping the probe probably more important than the type of wipe (HLD v LDL) used. I wonder how you ensure this is done “as per the video demonstration” in real life?

@PetersPOCUS @asumultrasound @AIUMultrasound @EMUGs_ @ANZCA @acemonline Haven’t read it yet but this looks like it might be of interest @PethauDel

Low-level should be the preferred disinfection method for ultrasound transducers used in percutaneous procedures. Read our RCT comparing LLD vs HLD here! @asumultrasound @AIUMultrasound @EMUGs_ @ANZCA @acemonline onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ju…

@lotusgav @pompeygasman Have been working with a few companies but I’m not sure if either will go ahead as they are not used frequently. All comes down to $$ unfortunately.

@lotusgav We have an airway CME coming up. Shall I book you in?

@EM_RESUS I am a paediatric emergency physician working in Australia.
I have NEVER seen a gunshot wound in a child, and have not seen a gunshot wound in anyone for over 20 years.
This cause of death is the result of "choices" by politicians and the people they represent.

I’m staggered by the lack of reaction to the IPCC report. There’s almost no significant action. I don’t think we can get it until the media screams the full truth to the public & I see almost no one in the media who understands that this is true: New tactics needed urgently.

@DrGetafix @GongGasGirl @_SameerAhmed_ @NewcastleHosps The problem is…empty socket -> someone will plug something into it. It’s the reason we block the sockets on the back of the anaesthetic machine.

@PethauDel @GongGasGirl @_SameerAhmed_ @NewcastleHosps Yes, there are similar questions swirling round my head to! I guess we’d found out once someone plugs 2 bair huggers, a fluid warmer, diathermy, laser, a WOW and 5 syringe drivers into it!

TIVA, like volatiles, has its downsides.
Theatres mostly not designed for it.
Power points overloaded.
Cords too short.
Pumps won't hold charge.
And don't anyone tell me you never have this in your place ... I've seen it in all 3 countries I've worked in ...

@GongGasGirl @bobfunn @Andyrooz22 @maffygirl @beckimarshRA Now we can’t have power strips so we risk tripping to a wall or whacking our heads or getting clotheslined lol

@DrGetafix @GongGasGirl @_SameerAhmed_ @NewcastleHosps The power banks we used for a while were deemed a fire risk. I wonder if this device would pass and if there are any limitations to what can be plugged into it.

@DrGetafix @GongGasGirl @_SameerAhmed_ @NewcastleHosps Interesting. Our drip stands power up to 6 pumps (some only 4). This would really come into its own when wanting to add a different brand of pump or other devices (e.g. fluid warmer).

Spot the female consultant surgeon..
Yup, they’re the only one that’s been #untitled and had their name written out in full. I’m sure we can do better in 2023.

@AirwayMxAcademy @EM_RESUS @jducanto @JohnCSakles @NaveenEipe @NicholasChrimes @bobfunn @cliffreid @LeifRognas @GongGasGirl @EMARIANOMD It’s HUGE! Clearly not been trialled in patients who are obese/have large breasts.

@PethauDel @elissaklink this is something we have to try make an impact on @HNEHealth it kills me a little bit inside each time we use a SINGLE USE tourniquet in theatre…worse still when it’s for a day only case, as literally goes directly into landfill. Why did this even start?

@JudkinsSimon We use these in the Adelaide hospitals I work in. Wipe them down in between patients. If they get contaminated with blood we throw them out, but with care that rarely happens.

Responding to some conversations about the new #StopBeforeYouBlock trays, we have created some additions to reinforce the STOP moment.
1.Sealed lidded tray
2.Paper sleeve to break before administration
3.Basic tray
What do you think?

Welcome to Texas. Today abortion, a medical procedure, is now a felony. Punishable with up to life in prison. No exceptions for rape or incest. If you don’t think this will seriously impact medical care, you are wrong.
