Friendly reminder:

During an intra-arrest #POCUS, the finding of RV dilation alone is generally insufficient to conclude the presence of a pulmonary embolism & justify the administration of thrombolytics. After a few min of CPR, RV tends to dilate due to

I have always been guided by the Bouvet study. I use propofol 2 mg/kg and remi 5 mcg/kg together on induction as my base. between 45-60 s after induction you see the HR drop, reflecting sympatholysis and you go.

Well it is very easy, when you see the cords and gently advance the tube, you see if there is any resistance at all, which there hardly never is above 5 mcg/kg of remi on top of propofol. The new meta-analysis from Anaesthesia supports this as well. I´ve done bariatrics with VL no NMB for 10+ years

Let's talk about therapeutic vs prophylactic cricoid force.

If gastric contents (or other materials) are actually detected around the larynx or when real-time regurgitation and/or aspiration occurs, should we use 'therapeutic' cricoid force?

Does the use of intraoperative ketamine affect the incidence of postoperative delirium?

Does the dose matter?

Compared with patients not receiving ketamine, a low dose (≤ 0.35 mg.kg-1) was associated with lower risks of postoperative delirium.

If you induce someone w/ etomidate & rocuronium alone, unless you get another sedative on board SUPER fast the etomidate wears off and the patient will be intubated without sedation

During the K shortage I used a combo of roc/etomidate/midaz/fentanyl
