Ever since PGY1, any clinically difficult situation I ask myself #whatwouldteddo - incredibly privileged to have been trained by Dr Crosby - you will be missed!!!
Whoa check out anaesthetic complications on Sundays from #NAP7.
We can't really ignore this.
But why? Only the sickest have operations on Sundays?
Should we move patients who can wait to Monday?
Increase anaesthesia seniority on Sundays?

Your patient is actively hemorrhaging and needs to go to the OR stat for a hemorrhage control intervention. They do not have a clear indication for intubation yet but are trending that direction. Do you...
(a) take control of their airway in the ED so they are all ready for surgery
(b) wait and let them get intubated in the OR 7.2 seconds before the surgeon starts cutting
This recent @JTraumAcuteSurg study from the NTDB of 9,667 patients suggests option B. Option A was associated with higher risk of death and cardiac arrest.

@DrJenGunter I wouldn’t live in Rideau/Sandy Hill area unless you’re a university student looking to party. Check out the Glebe, New Edinburgh, Old Ottawa south for urban residential vibes!
