Would you feel differently if all your interventionalists were radiologists? 😂 I joke but have been thinking that surgeons “grow up” working with us from junior level - creates a shared mental model in the OT/OR. Different for interventionalists who start working with us at senior stage of training

Anaesthesia colleagues- do any of you actively enjoy remote anaesthesia? I am talking in-hospital away from OT/OR eg Cath lab, interventional radiology etc. I know colleagues who tolerate it as part of the job but no one so far has told me they look forward to it…😂 if you like it please share why!

I’ve seen 2 code red traumas where subclavian central access (vascath) was inserted on arrival to resus (one with US, one landmark). Both times the operator was scrubbed/ready on pt arrival. I believe the vascaths were lifesaving in these bleeding pts. Just my observation!

I have read a lot of BJA papers re AI lately and tbh the overall conclusion in all of them is “it’s good, it’s not great”. I like chatGPT for certain things and found it useful for revision (it created clinical cases etc) but the carbon footprint is massive so I wouldn’t want to use it all the time!
