I’ve uploaded a new pEEG video covering indices, raw EEG, DSA, drugs, ketamine, age and suppression. A great start for the EEG user keen to know more! Processed EEG in anaesthesia https://t.co/pt1WCl0X8W via @YouTube

invited to speak today to colleagues in Aberdeen for a bit of EEG chat focussed on Alpha - an incredible biosignal associated with cognitive performance, delirium and post-operative mortality.

Quite excited to find the first (?) recommendation to use EEG during TIVA with neuromuscular blockade - dating from 1951 from the pioneers of EEG Bickford and Faulconer in BJA. How strange this isn’t a standard of care 70 years later

Big day! ⁦@huel⁩

Sign up for The EEG Bootcamp @Assoc_Anaes 20th November. International faculty of experts covering what YOU need to know to monitor the target organ of anaesthesia!

Thanks to everyone from @AmbuEurope and Queens Medical Centre who made today’s roadshow possible. If you would like to host a roadshow at your hospital get in touch! @das @Chronotrope @LarynxUK @altgm @LondonSneh @gunjeet99 @naomi_gostelow @drnishaat

Speaker update for our Roadshow Symposium! Dr Sneh Shah will be joining us on 6th June discussing high risk extubation. Grab one of the last remaining spaces! https://t.co/vWYEtpDBUY @LondonSneh @Chronotrope @altgm @LarynxUK @gunjeet99 @dasairway

Looking forward to speaking tonight on pEEG in obstetrics, covering structural brain changes in pregnancy, male:female Pd differences and the unique features of obstetric RSI and cortical arousal.

Delirium, pEEG, Thoracic Emergencies, Nasendoscopy for Airway Evaluation, Trauma Laparotomy, Spinal Ultrasound - some of the hot topics at: Nottingham Core Topics. 13/3/25 Trent Bridge Cricket Ground https://t.co/YN5tVbsUUz @Assoc_Anaes @RCoANews

One of the posters we had at the last NAPS conference:

In open hepatectomy, TIVA was associated with a substantially lower hazard of tumour recurrence or death; in laparoscopic surgery, it was not. A deeper exploration of these findings is required. #anaesthesia #medicine #oncology #healthcare https://t.co/cAiEBoPO73

Great synopsis of evidence of different pain thresholds in redheads and MCR-1 gene. TIVA Divas of all hair colours will recall Doufas’ study demonstrating little difference with propofol but studies have demonstrated differing potency of volatiles.

Looking forward to talking brains and neuromonitoring at @Assoc_Anaes #WSM2025 We'll take a look at pEEG as a monitor of mechanism, maturation, metabolism... and mischief ;) And I'll introduce you to Mr Anderson and his apparatus!

Happy New Year all, here’s to accidentally writing “2024” in the notes until at least April.

A super app with a refreshingly clean UI. Well worth a play for all interested in TIVA.

2024 Recap (1) https://t.co/4zrK2ZezXO has introduced a number of features this year. In Jan, we have added a “preview box” to describe the upcoming infusion scheme as you input a new Target, so you can can adjust your pump settings in advance

2024 Recap (4) Do you prefer to use Schnider or Marsh model in TCI? https://t.co/4zrK2ZezXO has an “Eleveld emulation tool” that converts a Marsh/Schnider TCI infusion scheme into CP, CE & estimated BIS values as predicted by the Eleveld model. This helps to compare older models

My recommendation is to turn the filters OFF (second menu page) if possible!

I grumble about the heavy-handed 2Hz high pass filter on the BIS monitor which prevents visualisation of slow and delta oscillations [default: ON], I found reference (and warning!) to this from 1987! Pleased that @Medtronic are finally listening with incoming updates in 2025!

Are benzodiazepines anaesthetic drugs? Historically, anaesthesia was defined as a lack of response to surgical incision but things have moved on. While ketamine would qualify as an anaesthetic, propofol, etomidate & remimazolam would not. #AnSky #PharmSky #MedSky

Now the dust of #SIVA24 is settling and you've all hopefully made it home. It's time to put SIVA 2025 in your diary... Liverpool, City of Culture, home of the Beatles and the lamb banana! #SIVA25 - Save the date
