Gowns for technically challenging and for trainees… Free rein for the consultant to don sterile gloves and just bang in the spinal! 😆

Great interview and subject. Huge amounts of crossover from managing peri-procedural anxiety in paediatric patients. Organisations across the world specialising in teaching this: POEMS (UK), NPHTI (US), EPIC (Aus/NZ). I’ve learnt a whole host of skills that translate into my adult practice.

The power of communication and body language. So true, not only for anaesthetic practice, but also in pain management consults (particularly the challenging anxious patient)!

Still do GA with clopidogrel onboard despite UK guidelines. If severe lung disease and Pulm HTN, I might reconsider, but otherwise inhaled nitric oxide is super useful!

FIB is effective to help position for spinal. Typically use a touch of alfentanil and propofol for the turn. Dexmedetomidine infusion 0.3mcg/kg/hr works nice too if you are patient. Bad side up, plain bupivacaine 0.5% + fent. 1.8-2.5mls depending on pt and exact surgery.

FIB + GA (SGA) with a-line. Classic- maintain preload, low-normal HR and vasoconstrictors running. For the severe lung disease one- CSE (5mg isobaric bupivaine bad side up with some fent). Titrate up epidural with lidocaine/adr as required. If severe Pulm HTN and they doing cement - now that’s 🔥

20+ per year is not going to be achievable, unless you do it as practice on those not needing it. Just like crisis management, I think perhaps regular simulation to maintain the skill set is the way to go. All anaesthetists should be able to do some form of AFOI/ATI-FB. Else phone a friend!

No need for Desflurane. Certainly can make do with sevoflurane/propofol +/- remi. Best place for propofol- into the patient. Otherwise, we use this product so it doesn’t go into wastewater: drugwaste.com.au/product/

Thanks for sharing Amit. As always, expertly presented! Nice balanced view. Similarly we rarely do perineural catheters in elective surgery settings. Aggressive scheduled MMA! Majority of the ones placed at our institution are for rib fractures, palliative NOF pts, amputations + chronic pain pts.
