@DrSandman11 I was told by a wise anaesthetist when I started that it's either awfully simple or simply awful!

@nickbrazel We're told it's back from next week 😍

Praise be! The remifentanil drought has ended. I was just getting the hang of TIVA with alfentanil too

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

@RoshanaMN It's the same for consultants too

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

@PeterMerjavy @garrettsbarry @bmacaulay2000 @MKwesiKwofie @OBsleepmerchant @Ropivacaine Exactly what I did today... Worked like a charm!

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

@drcmharris @doctorwibble Indeed! Hope the rest of your night was OK!

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

This weekend on call: Several trauma major haemorrhages, 2 paediatric laparotomies, some blocks, 1 awake fibre optic intubation and much more done by the rest of amazing team including @doctorwibble. Who said anaesthesia is boring?

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

@ronansetron @drphiliplee1 Actually voiced this early on Friday morning...

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

@AdeAyeni @doctorwibble Only on occasion 😂

@amit_pawa However it works... It does work!

Since I joined ⁦⁦@KingsCollegeNHS⁩ we have wasted over 6t of Nitrous Oxide, the climate equivalent to driving round the world 200x. We aim to eliminate this waste starting with the decommissioning of this manifold in Oct. Welcome to the fascinating world of medical gas!

@L_D_White @JournalofClinAn @SChealthnews @ESRA_trainees @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @RegionalAnaesUK I know that it's my new favourite thing! 5/5 successes for reverse L or upper abdominal transverse incisions. One patient asked me what the PCA was for!

@Microbedoc2 A joke?

New videos out from the @RCoANews Well worth a watch if you’re applying for ST4. https://t.co/tjf40X8QbF

Incorporating Dynamic Needle Tip Positioning (DNTP) for peripheral and arterial access has been a game changer. DNTP with cephalic vein cannulation has revolutionized our management for big peds abdominal cases where you need good UPPER EXTREMITY access.

And thoracic epidurals.. but I never stopped doing those anyway

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

Anyone else not enjoying this remifentanil shortage at all 😭

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

TIVA without remi is rubbish so I'm back to the 80s with volatile and boluses of fentanyl 😂

[Aidan Devlin @aidanpdevlin]

@nicholson_katy This is awful. Who is running this? They could divert their considerable organisational skills to help kids who would benefit much more than those who can afford the £3750 fee
