Neuromuscular blocking drugs vs remifentanil for intubation. The use of remifentanil (2-4 mcg/kg) makes little to no difference in terms of producing excellent tracheal intubation conditions.

Great #OBAnes ProCon Debate by @ValZaph & Dr A Lavoie on IV PCA - remi versus fentanyl. Moderation by @Ron_George for me local resources & context matters #fentanylwins @cas_update #CASAM2024

Great discussion just concluded on I-AIM & #POCUS in anesthesia .. lots of evidence for benefit & clinical pearls on gastric, cardiac & spine imaging. Consider settings & use frequently to support image acquisition & comfort doing #casam2024 @AnaSjaus @antonchau1 @CAS_OBSection

To all @CASUpdate members just saying June in NL is iceberg season! This was the same view of Fort Amherst during #CASAM2014 with both whales & icebergs!! @CAS_OBSection @CAS_RegAnes @CJA_Journal @CARFUpdate @CAS_IEF @CAS_EnviroSus @CAS_History @CasChiefs (pc unknown)

Great job all!! bringing evidence & entertainment to #CASAM2024 #OBAnes pro/con debate. great points but I still endorse IV PCA fentanyl! @ValZaph @antonchau1 @Ron_George @Ropivacaine @hilarykatem @ammunro2 @CAS_OBSection

@girardDev @antonchau1 @Ron_George @CASUpdate Anne Lavoie had more hands for Remi PCA, but I had more converts/crossovers to Fentanyl PCA! I would say it was equivocal. 😉

@antonchau1 @ValZaph @Ron_George @CASUpdate and the winner is? 😊
