🔓"Six years ago, @NicholasChrimes and @hypoxicchicken published The illusion of informed consent, highlighting disparity between informed consent and anaesthetic practice. Since then, there has been little change in how we obtain consent."

[Jakob Mathiszig-Lee @willtube4food]

One of the reasons I like doing arterial lines in plane is you know the exact direction of the vessel and can watch the catheter/wire slide in.

Maybe a little slower than landmark for easy ones but overall I'm faster and, importantly, lines are much more reliable in long cases.

[National Audit Projects @NAPs_RCoA]

Two weeks left to let us know what you think we should study for NAP8! See https://t.co/UDTWyLpZv8… for more information. Closing date for submissions is Monday 12th June.
