Are motor-sparing approaches universally advantageous or are their benefits more limited and contingent on careful patient selection?

Here is a tiered, patient-centred decision model about prioritising function or analgesia.

Does videolaryngoscopy improve tracheal intubation-related outcomes when compared with direct laryngoscopy in patients living with class 2 or 3 obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg.m-2)?

(SPOILER ALERT: YES!)

Which videolaryngoscope is best?

Subgroup analysis focusing on anaesthetists confirmed reductions in failed first tracheal intubation attempts with channelled videolaryngoscopes, Macintosh blades and hyperangulated blades.

How do we measure the efficacy of pre-oxygenation?

Purpose: to delay the onset of oxygen desaturation & complete airway management without hypoxaemia

Important measures:
• time-to-desaturation
• incidence of oxygen desaturation

High-flow nasal oxygen in obstetric practice – where do we stand?

"... it would be premature to conclude that HFNO represents a superior method of pre-oxygenation to facemask oxygen in obstetric practice."

"In the face of clear evidence of benefit, clinicians appear reluctant to fully embrace ultrasound in neuraxial puncture. This [is similar] to the implementation of videolaryngoscopy into routine clinical care."

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?

USG isn’t just for PNBs—isn’t it time to rethink its role in neuraxial anaesthesia? Evidence shows it improves 1st-attempt success, reduces complications, and enhances patient satisfaction. Are we ready to make it routine? #Anesthesia #POCUS #USG

What happens when a firmly applied facemask connected to a circle anaesthetic circuit with flow rates 10 l.min-1 of room air (FIO2 0.21) is applied over the Optiflow Switch nasal prongs and the HFNO flow rate is increased?

Tranexamic acid has been proven to ⬇️ bleeding in most surgical settings.

But what dose of TXA should you use in different clinical contexts?
