Fabulous talk from Tom Baumer about sedation using intranasal Dexmedetomidine as an alternative to GA for children needing CT/MRI. Great educational programme to support this rolling out in a new department @ruhanaesthesia.bsky.social Very well deserved video competition prize! 👏👏 #Anaesthesia2025

Very grateful for the opportunity to talk about this work at #Anaesthesia2025 I’m really proud to have been involved with creating this great resource, which should make it much easier for clinical teams to support patients to quit smoking (link in comments) #medsky #perioperativecare #pqip

12% of operations have complications. Periop care can reduce postoperative complications by up to 50%. @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social talks to the audience at #Anaesthesia2025 on CPOC and the importance of preop optimisation in periop care. View more on our website: cpoc.org.uk

Direct quote from a surgeon: “Tell my colleagues to stop spending money on robots and spend it instead on something that makes a difference”. Team training, education, system improvement. #Anaesthesia2025

📢May marks #NationalWalkingMonth2025 Engaging in regular physical activity prior to surgery can reduce postop complications by up to 50%. ❗️Physically inactive patients experience at least four times the risk of complications. Optimisation resources: ow.ly/UZyN50VLaFj

Here's your unsolicited reminder to always visualize your data. Anscombe's Quartet shows that 4 datasets with identical descriptive statistics are, in fact, very different when visualized. 🤔 If this isn't enough, look up the datasaurus dozen 🤯 #rstats #stats #python #research

Interesting, compared to high prevalence of smoking in vascular surgery - doi.org/10.1111/anae... > 25% of people smoke at the time of vascular surgery; prevalence > 33% in those undergoing lower limb bypass Smoking is strongly associated with environmental deprivation

From 2012-22, the prevalence of smoking amongst elective CABG patients was surprisingly low (9% vs. 13% in the UK population). Why are we seeing this difference? Are patients successfully quitting before surgery? tinyurl.com/ywcmds7e #Ansky #Medsky @ronellemouton.bsky.social @alexisted.bsky.social

If only this from the Sunday Times were new - the truth is even worse: that trusts have been advertising for “corridor nurses” for years. A horrendous illustration of how overwhelmed our hospitals are every year, all year. This isn’t “flu” - it’s flu + lack of beds + failure to address social care 🧵
