Depth of anaesthesia monitoring aims to guide anaesthesia dosage to avoid #BurstSuppression or arousal reaction. However, sole reliance on #pEEG risks under- or overdosing anaesthetics, especially in the elderly

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
Full of people down 5th avenue, view from 39th Street.

I did not realise that Tesla is built on a house of cards. This is akin to the subprime fiasco except thankfully it won't effect as many people across the world. People must be mad to have Tesla shares. They need to bite the bullet and accept their losses and get out!

This is just appalling, absolutely no one should be re sitting. They should also be heavily reimbursed for both the exam fee and any job ramifications. Medicine seems to get away with things other structures and organisations don’t.

Spine injections should not be given to adults with chronic back pain because they provide little or no pain relief compared with sham injections, say a panel of international experts in this recommendation. Includes a #BMJInfographic www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Surgical patients most are commonly prescribed renin–angiotensin system (#RAAS) inhibitors. Effective RAAS inhibition was associated with lower risk of #postop #myocardialinjury independent of stopping or continuing RAAS inhibitors before surgery. #Ansky www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000...

Oddly enough, “stop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobs” does not feature as a proposed solution.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
