I will always be incredibly grateful for our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). This drug that keeps my tumour load down so I can live an (almost) normal life and without having to worry where to find an extra $78k per year. #Auspol #Medsky

Interesting question from the audience at #GAMC26 should we routinely put in a Salem/sump tube at the end of the procedure seeing as aspiration at extubation/emergence is just as or more common than at induction? Tim Cook and Kariem E-B agree. #AnSky

We know 1:8 patients have residual gastric contents. They don’t aspirate because of what we do to prevent it.

Pulmonary aspiration risk. Is this also increased? Needs to affect all of these factors.

Stu Marshall @hypoxicchicken.medsky.social · 18/06/2026
If withheld, the risk doesn’t decrease within 12 days. Might be less there but still concerning volume. In endoscopy setting one small trial disputes this.

I was under the impression this was just a regular school outing. However, the rapidity that the consent form escalates is making me wonder…!

The very act of struggling with a medical condition can lead to trauma, as well as getting a dreaded diagnosis of a chronic or life-threatening illness. Seeking diagnosis is also a factor because it takes an average of 8 to 10 years to be diagnosed with a rare disease: www.ihi.org/library/blog...

Isn’t it weird how nearly every other country doesn’t need an entire separate army/multiple agencies to protect their head of state. It’s almost like; the number of weapons in the country is out of control; people aren’t keen on the president.

The PUMA Guidelines recommend evaluating at least seven administered breaths to confirm tracheal tube placement. But why? It is unclear why a positive trajectory in amplitude would be expected to reverse during the fifth, sixth or seventh breaths. #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...
