@vaticannews_pt I mourn your passing, Papa Francisco… but I won’t forget you for the rest of my life. Thank you for being different and showing us how compassionate, loving, encompassing a pope can be. I wish I saw you in person but you live in our hearts forever.

@DrRobbieErskine @drnsuarez @amit_pawa @jeffgadsden Lovely. Thank you for sharing!!

Should anaesthetists be using peri-operative ultrasound for neuraxial procedures?

Ultrasound is commonly used for venous access and peripheral nerve blocks.

Why not spinals and epidurals?

New research has challenged “normal” B12 levels.

Even within the “normal” range, lower B12 was linked to:
⚡ Slower cognitive processing
🧠 Delayed brain signal transmission (visual evoked potential latency)
🔬 Structural brain changes

Let’s break it down 🧵1/10

The Secretary of the Interior & Local Government and the PNP Chief are having so much fun. Nevermind that Alice Guo escaping overseas is symbolic of their own failure.

What a mockery of the Filipino people. ✌🏼✌🏼

Day 4:another opportunity to try something new.Rather than going with the familiar axillary approach to the BP, I went in for distal UE blocks of the median & radial nerves for a Bennett’s fracture in an obese patient. Elegant! #regionalanesthesia

[𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 @Anaes_Journal]

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs eg apixaban, rivaroxaban) & hip fracture

• When is it safe do a nerve block?
• When should surgery performed?
• When should DOACs be restarted?

Continuing the regional theme from yesterday's #BJAEd tweet, a look at the 2019 Ambulatory Spinal paper @effectsite, Prof. Hertling @DrRobbieErskine which sets out the rationale & pragmatics of #daycase spinal anaesthesia. See pic caption. #OpenAccess https://t.co/CNfPiKUwj7

[Kathleen K.T. MD @klaramd]

Criticized for honing skills in the OR under the guidance of a trained specialist-one must remember there is a learning curve to almost every skill, not all blocks work perfectly at once which is why we TRY, train and keep doing, not judging. #RegionalAmateur #regionalanesthesia
