@QandA It’s a simple choice - vaccine or lockdown.

@InsidersABC the difference between James Campbell and Waleed Ali! Waleed is considered, thoughtful and correct! James Campbell not!

@hypoxicchicken @Drhelengordon Agree Stu. Cannula placement is relatively brief, usually straightforward and has a place in elective cases too. #FrontOfNeck

@warkwarkwark @kgrodge @Anaes_Journal @dasairway Agree. Once you go down the scaplel path there is no return. Cannula allows immediate life saving oxygenation, low failure rate, minimal morbidity and time to consider further options. #FrontOfNeck

@morefluids @warkwarkwark @sarah_sheikha @Anaes_Journal @surfindoc @doctimcook @elboghdadly @dasairway @theadamcourse Thanks. Animal ethics considerations was an extremely high priority. @frontofneck

@kgrodge @Anaes_Journal @dasairway Thanks Gary. We only get one shot at the CTM in our animals. Hence the need for tracheal access. Our scalpel technique is very close to the @dasairway technique https://t.co/UaStUt4Hzp We have found how surprisingly easy it is to create a false passage under pressure

@elboghdadly @doctimcook @Anaes_Journal @dasairway Supraglottc airway (LMA) with oesophageal drain, and bite block . eg Supreme #frontofneck

[Luke O’Halloran @bigsaratoga]

@Uma1r_F1 @dasairway Yes. Monash Health has a standard pack. Two parts - cannula side and scalpel side. Clear plastic. easy opening.#frontofneck

[Luke O’Halloran @bigsaratoga]

@Anaes_Journal Yes we would most probably do cannula. But with the caveat that there is no blood, other fluids, trauma etc. Each case on it's own merits. #frontofneck

@QandA Seems to be a lot of Happy Clappers in the audience!
