Anaesthetists must be familiar with the symptoms and signs of acute adrenal insufficiency so that inadequate supplementation or undiagnosed adrenal insufficiency can be detected and treated, as delays may prove fatal.

Still overwhelmed: @BillGates gave our book Factfulness to all college graduates in US https://t.co/EfbUIN682t and it was one of @BarackObama five recommended summer reads https://t.co/BWFzVADSiV. Now available in 10 languages, soon in 25 more languages! #Factfulness#gapminder
Great lunch symposium hosted by @GetingeGlobal on advanced monitoring in the OR. Will apply the MERCI approach by @MichardFrederic as soon as I get home to convince the skeptics to invest in haemodynamic monitoring! #EA18
Nerve blocks such as FIB for the elderly hip fracture patient should be integrated into routine multi‐modal acute pain management protocols.
This narrative review is essential reading for all who care for such patients.

Lecture by @GicoBellani confirms low Vt and driving&plateau pressures good both in ICU and OR, but minimal PEEP enough in the OR. Is titrating PEEP to optimal compliance not beneficial in healthy lungs as long as DP <14 then? #EA18
Great start of the joint @ESICM @ESA_HQ session on ventilation #EA18 #
@GicoBellani It's not good that a baby lung does the whole work. We need to protect the lungs by the effect of ventilation. In the OR should also ventilate carefully. Let's be gentle in OR & ICU.
Extremely interesting and inspiring talk on MINS by @OutcomesRC. I'm looking forward to discussing this with the cardiologists back home and hopefully improve our protocols! #EA18
#EA18 Frederic Mercier on phenylephrine vs norepinephrine for spinal hypotension prevention
↔️ because of rapid onset & offset of norepinephrine it might be a better choice to prevent overshoot hypertension, particularly if used with closed-loop system

@GasboardChloe I'm a man, but had the same thoughts as you. It was cringeworthy. But sure, it's better that they raised the issues at all rather than not, I guess.
Airway training should be implemented in anaesthesia training for trainees AND consultants says Alistair McNarry #EA18@euroanaesthesia@doctimcook but how to do assessment? @french9a
#EA18#ESA2018@CarvalB Words of wisdom to reduce local anesthetics for labor neuraxial analgesia
1️⃣ add an opioid
2️⃣ increase volume
3️⃣ use bolus techniques (PCEA/PIEB)
4️⃣ minimise background
A new research @Squeezestudy on #vasopressor therapy was introduced this morning at #EA18 by Clinical trials network grant winners @IbJammer & @drbencb Find out how to join the study at @ESA_HQ booth or https://t.co/iieku6Ry26
