[#wildatlanticgreenway #barna-galwaygreenway @GalwayUrban]

This could be the reality this Summer in a reimagined and rejuvenated Salthill. Imagine the possibilities that a #WildAtlanticGreenway could bring to the village and city. Dust off those 2016 plans @GalwayCityCo and let's make it happen. 🌞🚲🎡🏖️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Understanding your anaesthesia workstation.

Here are two images showing related (but different!) pieces of equipment.

Explain the separate purposes of the indicated equipment in A and B

[Drdavidc @Drdavidc9]

@drmoleary Time for an RCT I think...?

[Drdavidc @Drdavidc9]

@drmoleary Another single centre retrospective study showing the same thing... https://t.co/PLqoD0FhIe

[Drdavidc @Drdavidc9]

@drmoleary You heard it here first!!

[GUH-ICU&Anaesthesia @GUH_ICU_Anaesth]

Sometimes you don't need an echo!

A bonus image from Galway ICU:

This shows attennuation/loss of the Y descent in a CVP trace of a ptient with cardiac tamponade

I have labelled the a waves and one X descent

A classic sign!

@ailsybird @drmoleary You probably wouldn’t be gone on the $4750 version then! It looks like it fits your description but costs a fortune.

[Drdavidc @Drdavidc9]

@ailsybird https://t.co/wO0ywLttMY This setup looks good, we were looking at it for some anaesthesia training videos. One of our gynae oncologists has purchased it recently. @drmoleary
