Avoiding unrecognised oesophageal intubation The @RCoA & @dasairway have agreed to drop ‘no trace wrong place’ The message now is that we need to exclude oesophageal intubation by identifying SUSTAINED EXHALED CO2 This requires 4 elements -CO2 rises & falls with respiration

I believe the @RCoANews is to be congratulated in navigating the treacherous path of defining scope of practice for Anaesthesia Associates This involved -huge surveys of opinion -supporting #Nap7 in analysing practice in real life -a Cochrane review -extensive professional

What are the disadvantages of 'total videoscopic tracheal intubation'? • an extended stress response • an increased risk of airway trauma • awkward ergonomics • prevents airway operator managing other aspects of induction @NicholasChrimes @doctimcook @AndyHiggsGAA

Sustained CO2 excludes oesophageal intubation but does not confirm CORRECT placement of the ETT in the trachea. https://t.co/N8Rjl1542e Thank you @NicholasChrimes & @AndyHiggsGAA for your insights on this case report https://t.co/xRHNphe3bc #Anaesthesia #anesthesia #airway
