@clifford0584 It’s about familiarity innit? Anaesthetic training familiar with seldinger technique, perc trache and poking gently with needles. ED training used to scalpels, bigger cuts, get it done.
Elective OT and ED are not the same thing. Anaesthetists rarely pick up scalpels. ED do.

@cliffreid 1 ampule if <40kg. 2 ampules if 40-80kg.
In adults I use 2 up to 80kg and 3 if >80kg because it is safe and who needs maths in emergencies.

@RoshanaMN I turned up at my parents house 12 hours early from Australia. I haven’t seen them in over 2 years.

@draj79 Set up before hand to do as part of intubation. If just for the case orogastric. If RSI once ett confirmed place it before tying ett. If not do first. If needed mid case - all the other suggestions with cold NGT.

So my son said he hurt his toe but didn’t think I have the Koalifications to fix him. Perhaps #orthotwitter can help a poor gaslass🤣 #MedTwitter

@Jopo_dr But 1 person disagreed with the majority of others so on balance 50% of the news needs to be from that 1 person and 50% needs to be from everyone else who says they’re wrong. Coz that’s giving both sides of the story/journalism….🤦🏽‍♀️

@EM_Dr_Jacklin They didn’t make it out the door to come back. First time at an arrest when everyone waited for me to finally call it. And as it was 20 years ago, I was then the sole Dr in ED for another 8 hours….it’s a tough speciality.

@GongGasGirl Good analgesia for some. Good vomit inducing hallucinations for others. Bit like adults really. 1mg/kg innit? Personally find it a better analgesic with less side effects than oxycodone. Had to wash the vomit out my toddler’s hair on it tho 🤷🏽‍♀️

@MStott88 I can now tolerate a certain Brian Adam’s song, still brings back the memories of a patient in 2002, but without the harrow. I would seek help. You went thru something very traumatic. It is normal to think on it, but not quite as you describe.

@dougclow Clow like Slow with a C….slow, flow, blow…..ok….just write clown without the n….🤷🏽‍♀️

@gemcarey Now I’m just really annoyed that I’ve only just found out about @RealOzSAGE as I’ve just been quoting @trishgreenhalgh to people, but she doesn’t have such a snazzy put together all inclusive website! Thank you 🙏🏽 sincerely 🙏🏽

@GasboardChloe Oh that’s brilliant. Always good to practice conversational foreign language 😂

[Emma K 🇺🇦 @EmmaPNG]

@GasboardChloe Thinking of you today. Hope you have managed a bit of sleep at least. X
