Awesome thread (as usually from @tony_breu) on “Canyon” T waves after SAH and why it’s thought they happen

1/16 🤔Why does subarachnoid hemorrhage lead to deep/inverted "cerebral T-waves"? This ECG finding is so dramatic. But as we will see, these patients often have normal hearts. Why does an issue in the brain manifest on a test of the heart?

Time to move on. We eventually stopped using halothane because we got better drugs. Neo still works ok if you use it right, but so does halothane, Pentothal, etc etc. We have a better drug now.
In a multicenter matched cohort analysis, sugammadex administration was associated with a 30% reduced risk of pulmonary complications, a 47% reduced risk of pneumonia, and a 55% reduced risk of respiratory failure compared to neostigmine. ow.ly/ocec50KbQb3

Congratulations to our team for performing @UHN’s first successful same day TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) procedure! A grateful patient with a damaged aortic valve was treated in the morning and home by dinner time.

Tragic preventable. Based on pic (yes, limited): no obvs predictors of difficult BMV, ETT, LMA or FONA. Monitoring, airway skills…All seems easy until there’s apnea and you don’t know what you’re doing. “Sedation” can become “GAWA” real quick. Tragic failure of BLS.

When you start waving a swastika you lose your right to freedom, and lose your right to take part in any kind of dialogue on a topic. How have we reached a point where the holocaust is not a topic on which we are all agreed?!
Um. How about this?

My fav from R1 is when I watched a guy with refractory SVT get out of bed in emerge and pee directly on to the floor, which promptly restored sinus rhythm.
Today on the ward round at a patient’s bedside I did something that made the FY1 say ‘that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen’ What do you think it was…?

Once you get this technique down, it’s hard to miss IVs. If the vein is there, you’ll cannulate it.
Walking in angiocath upon vessel entry. Puncture vessel, maintain target sign, advance probe proximally, advance needle proximally, repeat until >1CM in.

Highly recommend this doc. We were lucky to have @drharry64 talk @DalAnesthesia about this rescue. Its still unfathomable to me that all the boys survived. Just a ridiculous demonstration of courage and skill. Also makes anes oral exam questions seem straight forward!!

I’m so glad @glauncel is still dropping absolute truth bombs on Twitter in retirement. I will reward him with J.S.Bach recordings 😂
Replying to @glbryson
These questions: VL vs DL, regional vs GA, boogie vs stylette. Even the most mediocre clinician recognises that each has its place. The folly that you point out here does no service to academia. #forestforthetrees

Please do NOT let anyone do this to you. Not awake, and certainly not under “GA” (or whatever the hell it is this “provider” is providing) A small amount of knowledge is a dangerous thing. @kmukhida
What did I just witness….is he doing chiropractic adjustments under anesthesia……. This cannot be legal

Really “rolly” veins…The vein rolled away cos you let it roll away.
80% of people who think they have “difficult” veins have perfectly normal veins but a clinician missed a cannula once and blamed them to save face discuss
