1/3 🧵👇

Great paper.
Summary of Recommendations
(paraphrased - hope I got it right):

1. Waveform ETCO2+SpO2 whenever intubating
2. VL as routine
3. Verbalise the view at each attempt ('flying by mouth')
4. Verbalise whether sustained ETCO2 and adequate Spo2 are present
5. No Trace = Wrong Place..

Oh this is so lovely. So clean and unpolluted.
Like taking a drive out from the smog of the city, climbing to the top of a hillock and sharing the vista with old friends and new.
Raising a glass of hope in the sunshine of sharing.

This great lab study from 2020 surprised me at the time - challenging our assumptions about fresh gas flow rates and economic/environmental costs. #AnSky

[ Higher FGF (~6L/min) during TIVA reduces costs without sig environmental impact. ]

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.
