Ahead of my talk today at #SIVA25, I have packaged up some #PERUSEbeforeYouInfuse posters, for anyone convinced by what I'm saying, who then wants to use the check.
The right things happen more often if you make them easy. Providing posters (and Blu Tack) is very much in the spirit of the talk.

First up in the main session today at #SIVA25 we have Professor Gavin Kenny, one of the key architects of the Diprifusor TCI system.
It is no exaggeration to say modern TCI and TIVA would not exist without him.
In the first of two talks he is giving today, he tells us how Diprifusor was created.

To the folks who attended a workshop this morning, hello again!
To the folks just arriving, welcome to Liverpool and #SIVA25!
Our next talks are focussed around some of the practicalities of TIVA, in the "how I do it" session.

Nice view of the famous Liverpool skyline from up here! Both cathedrals, and the Radio City tower are visible. Bit chilly right now though.
Liverpool is a brilliant city.
We are looking forward to welcoming our delegates at tomorrow's Annual Scientific Meeting #SIVA25.

Hello Bluesky!
Ahead of our Annual Scientific Meeting, which starts tomorrow, we thought we would get this account up and running.
It will be curated by @robjimfleming.bsky.social for the next couple of days at least.
Hopefully we will see some of you in sunny Liverpool!

"... 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."

I don’t think anyone considers thio part of RSI anymore but I’m certain most who’ve abandoned cricoid are still using sux/roc & many aren’t FMV. It’s definitely singled out.
Again, I qtn whether the rationale for RSI is sound.

Interestingly while cricoid pressure gets mocked by those wanting to practice EBM, there’s no more evidence for any other aspect of RSI? Why has cricoid been singled out as the component to ditch when the whole thing is entirely rationale-based & incls many opportunities to cause harm.
Cricoid pressure until they're back on the ward. Burden on proof is on the doubters to prove it doesn't reduce aspiration.

1st SIVATrainee - BlueSky Thread!
pEEG and ketamine
If youve spent any time around TIVA and EEG
You'll know that ketamine can increase the BIS number - Perhaps you never use ketamine because every time you do your processed EEG keeps telling you the patient's 'awake'

J. Robert Sneyd speaking about Remimazolam. A very entertaining talk!
Remimazolam potentially has the advantages of an offset not dissimilar to propofol, with the CVS stability and reversibility of Midazolam. The best of both worlds, possibly.
There is a niche for this, I suspect.
