I tried a Koala last week….screen kept cutting in and out (have had this experience with CMACs too). Wasn’t impressed. Have used portable CMAC on ward, was fine but found it bulky all a matter of what we get used to using of course

VL default. McGrath my VL of choice, but my only options are that or CMAC. I like it because: lightweight, lower profile plastic blade feels gentler on the patient, easier to get in room than wheeling bulky cmac in. Open to using other devices but don’t have them available atm

At my hospital, if one wants to contact ortho they must dial “The Bone phone”

Rising rates of sugammadex anaphylaxis concern me, but I do use it when TOF not favourable for neo/glyco. I guess in ICU setting where no quant TOF hard to know when safe to ext post neo/glyco though…you guys need quant TOF!

With 4 twitches I would use a weight-based dose of neo/glyco, not sug. I always reverse roc

This is also my standard practice regardless of BMI. I teach this technique to every registrar I work with. They are routinely amazed at speed to ETO2 >80, as I was before they…and I achieve ETO2s higher than I could achieve even with longer pre ox time without PSV/CPAP

Agreed! A friend’s dad recently had foot surgery (private hosp)- orthopod recorded a personalised post-op chat including how his specific surgery went/findings, and post-op advice. Emailed it to patient. Slick production. I was super impressed by this strategy!

And I have the means and inclination to pay for what I consider reputable journalism. So what hope does/did the lay public have? And most importantly- how do we/can we even avoid another such fuck up in the post-truth era?

To be clear- I agree that lab leak is implausible, but I was definitely in the “It’s possible” (never the deliberate leak) camp at first until ?the time of the first journal articles and reports of the raccoon dog + covid samples from around the market. And I have an MD and a public health degree…

Agree excellent episode. I thought the comment “too much commentary, not enough reporting” in the thick of pandemic was spot on. Having said this- it is not hard given the many complexities to see how even the above average Joe had low chance of following this and coming to the “logical” conclusion
