Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 28/07/2026Would love to have been in the room during this brainstorming session 142
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 11/05/2026It was stuck like this. I assumed the loading spinner was the meme. Also, just learnt the technical term for a loading spinner is a “throbber”. 010
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 15/03/2026Reminder that Ethicon Biopatch used as an adjunct in central line dressings is chlorhexidine (CHG) impregnated. The effort in avoiding a chlorhexidine impregnated CVC in a patient with chlorhexidine anaphylaxis can easily be undone. www.jnjmedtech.com/en-EMEA/prod... #ansky #anaphylaxis 011
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 29/01/2026The @anzca.bsky.social “PG28 Guideline on infection prevention and control in anaesthesia 2025” now states that sterile gowns are not required for all single shot spinals. This could reduce a significant amount of waste. #Ansky www.anzca.edu.au/getContentAs... 395
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 22/12/2025Notice how progressive automation seems to have entirely missed the baristas despite perfectly good automated coffee machines. People seem to value the brief banter, tattoos and beards. There may be a lesson in that for all of us. 051
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 21/12/2025OK I remember now. It takes selected anaesthetic accounts, extracts post based on keywords (see photo) and uses the Hacknews (HN) algorithm to rank. 7 days is the maximum allowed time frame. 100
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 21/11/2025Just donated to @wikimediafoundation.org. We often take for granted how valuable a resource it is. Having contributed to it I know how vigorously the Wikipedians donating their time defend the veracity of the content. donate.wikimedia.org 051
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 06/11/2025Ok 3D printing anaesthesia nerds, give me suggestions of exciting and pointless objects we can print with one of these. #3Dprinting #Ansky 131
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 20/08/2025Hey @chrimesy.com, what do you think about titrating Sevo to BIS? 001
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 11/08/2025This hospital has implemented a policy of banning glasses with audio and video recording (eg Meta Ray Ban glasses). ❌🤓❌ I wouldn’t be surprised if other industries start following suit. #Anksy #Medsky 0162
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 08/08/2025Good luck reading the drug name and dose without augmented vision #EzDrugID #Ansky 150
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 07/08/2025This was Nam Le’s work at RWH looking at nursing workload post LUCS. “From this, we can estimate that on average patients who received neuraxial morphine required 50 fewer minutes of midwifery intervention time for analgesic management.” 100
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 01/08/2025No risk score will be perfectly implemented. You still ultimately see some correlation in outcomes, in this case mortality after intra-operative cardiac arrest in the @webairs.com dataset. Limitations: voluntary adverse event reporting, no denominator. doi.org/10.1177/0310... 100
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 31/07/2025Want to reduce your plasma forever chemical (PFAS) levels? - Donate plasma - A study of firefighters in Victoria Australia demonstrated a significant (~30%) reduction in PFAS levels after 1 year of 6 weekly plasma donations. Also, it’s free, you get lunch & it helps others doi.org/10.1001/jama... 3133
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 16/07/2025This is what I see in @anzca.bsky.social's PS04(A) Position statement on the post-anaesthesia care unit 2020. Are you referring to another document? www.anzca.edu.au/getContentAs... 300
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 16/07/2025Context may be important here. How is the EtCO2 used? In patients with LMAs? Many hospitals in VIC have “T-bags”available that give an indication of respiration. In most (not all) Australian hospitals patients with ETTs are extubated prior to transfer to PACU. 240
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 13/07/2025This was an FDA recommendation ~ 2007. Should be noted the case reports were prior to inclusion of preservatives/antimicrobials. Would depend somewhat on the formulation but just adds to the other risks associated with decanting across multiple patients. www.apsf.org/article/the-... 121
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 12/07/2025I don’t mean to sound like a tightwad, but we do deal with limited budgets in both public and private and we should all be aware of avoidable safety neutral costs. Don’t get me started about these things for non-head surgery. Topic for another day @maffygirl.medsky.social ? 120
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 12/07/2025Today I learned about the “Obesity paradox”, where the presence of obesity in nonegenarians (90-99 years of age) is a significant protective factor against in-hospital mortality for patients admitted to ICU Prof Laurence Weinberg #RuralSIG25 #Ansky 171
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 11/07/2025Interesting unexpected outcome from the implementation of a high risk peri-operative clinic at Ipswich hospital. 50% of patients did not proceed to surgery after in depth discussion about benefits and risks with the patient and family. #RURALSIG25 #Ansky 2152

Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 21/06/2025For anyone with an interest in history of anaesthesia this is a talk I recorded of Dr Kestor Brown, ex director of Anaesthesia at @rchanaesthesia.bsky.social talking about Trilene, Cyclopropane, Ethylene, etc all the good stuff. vimeo.com/57665984 #ansky 292
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 18/06/2025Bluesky Safety Tip: When attaching media to a post click on the three dots on the bottom left, click “Options” and ensure photo location is NOT included. For some reason this was on by default on my account. If that was intentional it’s a dangerous design choice. @bsky.app 193
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 11/06/2025You too could pay $20,000 for this plasmapheresis like Orlando, or you could donate plasma for free to achieve the same whilst doing some good for others (and get a free lunch). #donateblood theconversation.com/new-evidence... 000
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 27/05/2025Meanwhile we caught the first snowfall of the season climbing Mt Bogong, Victoria’s highest peak. Well below sub zero. 170

Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 07/12/2024Apparently this operating theatre monitor was installed just recently. 1280x1024 SXGA Multisync. It’s one of the newer fancier coloured models. Reminds me of something. #Ansky 110
Dr Pieter Peach @pieterpeach.com · 10/11/2024Now all we need to spice this place up is a good old Ketaminh/Chrimes airway barney 320
