Excellent first lecture in the Difficult Airway Course by @jarrodmosier
The difference between complicated and complex; a watch is complicated but airways are complex!
Human factors are underestimated: the three foot world view can predominate leading to people trying to “plan a harder”
Two cardinal rules:
1. Do not wander into failure
2. Intubate with a team, not an audience

In the RSI trial involving critically ill patients undergoing intubation in EDs or ICUs, the use of ketamine for the induction of anesthesia did not lead to significantly lower in-hospital mortality than etomidate. Full trial results and Research Summary: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Great day of learning with @YorkshireAirAmb & colleagues, focusing on individualised, physiological targeted resuscitation, aimed at optimising survival & ROSC in the most challenging cases.
Thanks to @EMDocJB & @HaldenHB & the rest of the faculty.

Great to have been there!
Great to host Yorkshire Air Ambulance at Ortus House last week for a SPEAR course with Dr Jon Barratt.
Specialist endovascular resuscitation that delivers real‑time data to support critical on‑scene decisions during cardiac arrest.

A week on from hosting @YorkshireAirAmb at our Customer Experience Centre, we’re still reflecting on an insightful SPEAR session led by Dr Jon Barratt.
SPEAR helps guide CPR quality and real-time decisions in complex cardiac arrests.

1/ 🧵 Contemporary evidence supports moving from EtCO₂ ventilation strategies toward precision guided ventilation using real-time PaCO₂. That’s the direction of travel for prehospital neurocritical care—and it’s how we tighten neuroprotection. I will explain in this thread
