I’m not sure if this is an example of nominative determinism or an example of the complete opposite! 😂#PatientSafety

Great example of both underspecification of procedures and malicious compliance! 😂 youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8?...

Incident Investigation 101: Keep Donald Trump away from social media. 🤦‍♂️ What’s the bet that if the NTSB come out with a report he doesn’t agree with they’ll have their funding cut and the Director will be sacked.

That looks like an interesting paper! Will definitely have a read.

Well, i figure if we can have implicit memory/recall, why not implicit amnesia! 🤷‍♂️😂

Occasionally. And when I have, it’s been useful.

Also, consciousness is a slippery concept without an agreed definition/mechanism, hence Chalmers “hard problem of consciousness”. Amnesia however is easier to define and measure and a lack of it is what we actually look for when assessing patients post-op or testing things like BIS and Entropy. 2/2

I’m probably being a bit pedantic/cheeky (but hey, i'm an anaesthetist!😂), but when I say amnesia, I mean both a-explicit-mnesia and a-implicit-mnesia, and it seems that it's the absence of these amnesias that causes the clinical problems rather than the presence of consciousness. 1/2

I will defer to the late, great, Edmond "Ted" Eger II and say that, strictly speaking, you really only need immobility and amnesia (not unconsciousnes) for it to qualify as (general) "anaesthesia". Blunting of the autonomic reflex is desirable but not necessary. 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtlM...

Important to remember that most inhaled agents provide some degree of muscle relaxation. However the dramatic shift to TIVA is making that less relevant.

I assume here that we're talking about "general" anaesthesia as opposed to "local", "regional" or "neuraxial" anaesthesia?

As ePrescribing continues to grow, a whole new range of pathways to #MedicationError will grow alongside it, so this series of e-Medication Safety topics from the Australian Institute of Health Innovation is timely. Double-sided, single page, evidence based, with clear recommendations.👌 #MedSky
