Opioid use disorder

The increasing trajectory will be particularly pronounced in high and low sociodemographic index regions, whereas people in intermediate sociodemographic index regions may experience relatively stable rates.

IV esketamine and emergence delirium

In children undergoing adenotonsillectomy, intra-operative low-dose IV esketamine significantly reduced emergence delirium and negative behavioural changes without increasing adverse events.

Who's using esketamine?

How do you do a TIVA RSI?

Anaesthesia @anaesjournal.bsky.social · 8d

"... a ‘RSI–TCI’ mode with a pre-programmed manual bolus offers a pragmatic solution for those who wish to preserve an intact pharmacokinetic model for accurate propofol delivery, while allowing the rapid induction clinicians expect from a manual bolus."

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for rapid sequence induction (RSI)

Worried your TIVA infusion is too slow for RSI?

Why not work with your local manufacturer to develop an ‘RSI-TCI’ mode for your target-controlled infusion pumps?

What is the biggest challenge of consultant appointment?

Management aspects:
• non-clinical roles & expectations of a new consultant within a department
• lack of transparency on routes to affect change at a hospital level
• volume of administrative work
