Excited to be seeing old friends and making news ones at the #tmcdac in #Mumbai. Packed program…I’ll try tweet some highlights :)

Join our Annual Departmental Research Day tomorrow. Starts 10.15am Local South African time (GMT+2). A celebration of the research from @UCTAnaesthesia . Here is the link: uct-za.zoom.us/j/5974002861 Programme in the pics.

How to manage teams of healthcare workers? Allow them to put their innate creativity, diligence and passion to good use. The story of Groote Schuur Hospital’s intubation & resus team: youtu.be/q_iA6Kxz92I @gsh_trust @Discovery_SA @UCTAnaesthesia @UCTHealthSci @rosshofmeyr

@BruceBiccard @UCTAnaesthesia @lieslzuhlke @rosshofmeyr @greentlp @AfricanSOS @HylaKluyts @alex_torborg @ElhadiMuhammed @NIHR_GSU @MrsMaswime Amazing impactful patient centered research presented in Cape Town today. Well done @UCTAnaesthesia. Proud to be affiliated with this department.

@HealThink @Siya_M @Lambo_Th @rosshofmeyr You’ve made our day. Message shared with the whole UCT Anarsthesia family, who can all use a pick-me-up in these trying times. We’re keen to keep learning with you: Let is all “Lift as we rise.”

@HealThink @Siya_M @Lambo_Th @UCTAnaesthesia What great feedback to wake up to in the morning. Would love to hear what made it good, and where we can still grow. Education goes both ways, and we have the privilege of working with (and being challenged by) amazing talent.

The high #perioperative #mortality in Africa in #ASOS prompted #ASOS2 to study whether increased surveillance would decrease deaths. It didn’t, but we now have much more data and insight on how to move forward towards saving lives.

Heya tweeps! Getting a feel for whether you’ve ever made use of the OpenAirway.org site for your own learning or teaching purposes, & whether you’d be willing to write a brief (1-paragraph) review to support an open textbook grant application. DM if keen… #airway #FOAM

Proud of our staff including @BruceBiccard @margot_flint @HealThink and more who contributed to the PRISM trial, now published in @LancetRespirMed - open access until 7 Aug here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1dGJL7tFB1ME…

The @HIV_Pain Task Force including PittGIM's @JessicaMerlinMD, Megan Hamm, & Flor de Abril Cameron brainstormed a scientific agenda & identified measurement domains critical to advancing #HIV & #chronicpain research. @kellyobrien25 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

I'm excited to share our commentary on variability in studies of pain, available for free download via this link until Feb 5th! Would love feedback 🤓 @painblogR @UCT_NI @UCTAnaesthesia @iimpact_health @bodyinmind authors.elsevier.com/a/1cFg~_AKQztr…

authors.elsevier.com/c/1cGN4,LpynDz… Our obstetric airway registry suggests a notable increased risk of desaturation during intubation in women with preeclampsia. This may be due to both physiological and anatomical airway changes. @rosshofmeyr @maretha_smit @DykDominique @UCTAnaesthesia

Great work by @maretha_smit @UCTAnaesthesia on #obstetric #airway management come to print in @IJOA_Journal, showing that mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are at greater risk of hypoxaemia during GA. 50-day #openaccess authors.elsevier.com/c/1cGN4,LpynDz…

Trying to find some consensus in the madness around COVID airway management... unlikely to be perfect, but hopefully some progress: authors.elsevier.com/a/1c8yV1dCDgkFb

...and publications for the year:

Programme for the day!
