Clinical tests for confirming tracheal intubation or excluding oesophageal intubation Misting • has a false positive rate of 0.69, meaning it is present in 69% of oesophageal intubations • has a positive likelihood ratio of 1.46, meaning that the presence of misting indicates that tracheal placement is only 1.46-fold more likely than oesophageal placement Chest auscultation • has a false positive rate of 0.14–0.18, meaning that 14–18% of oesophageal intubations will be incorrectly classified by this test Oesophageal detector device • has a false positive rate of 0.05; this means it will ‘miss’ 1 in 20 oesophageal intubations Chest rise • one animal study looking at 20 rats showed a false positive rate of 0.15 @VirtueOfNothing @jadamlaw @NicholasChrimes @AndyHiggsGAA @doctimcook buff.ly/3BowTSy

I was reminded of something so powerful while listening to @Niigaanwewidam at TIFA today: in this reconciliation process, it can be frustrating. But always act in a manner with love. That’s it. So we press on ❤️❤️❤️

Very grateful to speak at the Canadian Surgery Forum with Drs. Rachel Livergant and Sam Bugis on Treaty 1 Territory and the birthplace of the Métis. Honoured to bring a message about how we can bring Reconciliation into our Operating Room Theatres.

Dr. Ariana Hillier, an FP-A from New Liskeard, talks about “the snowball effect” that losing anesthesia services in rural/remote locations can trigger, resulting in the loss of other vital medical services; all the more reason to invest in anesthesia HR #OAAM2024

Landed in Winnipeg and made it to the book launch for @Sensincmurr Who We Are, with @Niigaanwewidam & @TanyaTalaga. Of course I run into my cousin Sue Carrière there! Great to be home!

Today was a step in the right direction for healthcare reconciliation in Canada. The TRC describes what reconciliation means. There must be an awareness of the past, acknowledgment of the harm, atonement of the causes and action to change behaviour. Let’s keep it going.
Listening to the An apology for harms to Indigenous Peoples | CMA, Grateful to those affected by the tragic effects of systemic racism in the medical profession, the TRC, MMIWG, physicians like Alika Fontaine, James Makokis and scholars like Ian Mosby cma.ca/our-focus/indigenous-…
