When it comes to capnography displays, there is considerable variability even within single institutions from site to site.

SALG recommendations are clearly not adhered to.

Is it time to standardise this at the source?

Important work by @SQuAResNet CaVa study team

[SQuARes Network @SQuAResNet]

Very proud of this article by our team and nationwide collaborators.

Worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use.

This has a big impact on patient safety.

The Safe Anaesthesia Liaison Group recommends standardising waveform capnography as a white solid filled-in graph at the bottom of the monitor display.

Is there compliance with the SALG standard in the UK?

How many capnography variants do you encounter every day?

We show worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use. This has a big impact on patient safety. We should urgently implement the SALG standard.

RT @EAFestival: Two fantastic oral presentations this year.

Congratulations to Dr Nick Wilson on winning this year's Alastair Spence Award…

[SQuARes Network @SQuAResNet]

Here's our very own Nick Wilson presenting his fantastic work on CO2 as a marker for ventilation within hospital.

Excellent presentation that has earned him the Alastair Spence Award.
