@Dr__Yield @BJAJournals @dasairway Guidelines do not mandate care, but they do de facto establish standards -these guidelines based on evidence -they recommend default VL -the strength of recommendation evidence is grade A (the highest possible) -the rationale for use of a VL is safety -our standard-setting

@sally_ghazali @WAMM2025 Yes I’ve posed the question before… “If we had a moratorium on new equipment for10 yrs and spent the same time and money on improving technical skills with what we have, and non technical skills….would we be safe than simply chasing equipment improvements/competition? This is

@AdiGatsby @dasairway Three points here 1 Yes, in resource limited settings achieving default VL may be difficult or impossible. In the UK and other high resource environments it isn’t. Well done @dasairway for the recommendation 2 DL is less effective and less safe than VL. However good one’s DL

Use, (all the time unless ati:fb indicated) Teach VL Learn VL

@dasairway guidelines out USE A VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE DEFAULT Videolaryngoscopy is now the recommended norm Some folk will need to make changes. We recently published a narrative review which discusses the challenges and myths around VL and gives guidance on default VL

@maffygirl Do we need a video on an SGA (routinely) I was struck by the fact in a poster I was down to judge that there was no correlation between laryngeal view down an I-gel and position over the larynx What is our goal? Good ventilation or perfect positioning over the larynx? I post

More cases of unrecognised oesophageal intubation here. https://t.co/GNZvdML3q7

Yet another case of unrecognised oesophageal intubation from 2021. International guidelines are now available to avoid this tragic outcome. The article likely understates the incidence of this complication. https://t.co/D0tQSNZE3m @radionz @doctimcook https://t.co/7n5NKKjrOo

TWO PERSON CHECKING TO LESSEN RISK OF OESOPHAGEAL INTUBATION is feasible & acceptable Great to see this paper in early access in @BJAJournals A simple feasibility study supported both 2-person checking of capnograph trace (sustained exhaled CO2) & 2-person checking of

@AirwayLegend @TheRealAlMay @anaes_spr @BJAJournals Fairly strong disagree There’s a tendency for some doctors to cast themselves as hero: who by dint of their special heroism will rise above the norm and do things others can’t do. It tallies with not following guidelines and directives, going off script, eschewing advice etc

Impressive work across all domains of practice: training, performance & auditing of outcomes to close the loop & inform future care. Well done to the whole team.
