Proud of my friend @ehigginsmd.bsky.social , an emerging leader in healthcare worker well-being, crushing it with a plenary at @nam.edu! Highlighting his vital work on measuring systemic influencers of well-being. The mentee is quickly surpassing the mentor- couldn't be happier!!
Does the seniority of the anaesthetist compared to the surgeon influence patient safety? New mixed methods analysis by Xu et al suggests this has little impact. #patientsafety #Ansky www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000...

An amazing showing from my lab at the annual at our Annual ACCM Research Day! I am so proud of them for accomplishing so much less than a year from when the lab opened! Our research program has an incredibly bright future! @sapnakmd.bsky.social #PedsAnesSky
@vcoelhosantoslab.bsky.social so glad to see you here!!
My lab is lucky to have the support from the Hopkins Dept of Anesthesiology and Crit Care Med that allowed us to acquire this surgical microscope- we are now able to do complex microvascular surgery! Also fortunate to have collaborators (pictured) from the JH Dept of Neurosurg #PedsAnesSky #AnSky
Anaesthesia@anaesjournal.bsky.social · 2y agoRemimazolam vs propofol in children Median time to loss of consciousness during induction was 45 s (remimazolam) & 25 s (propofol). There were no significant differences for awakening & tracheal extubation time or time to transfer out of PACU. #AnSky #MedSky https://buff.ly/3V5kNVe
Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees? We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share. We escaped hell to be here. Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

New term, but not new approach! @pedsanesnet.bsky.social
Anaesthesia@anaesjournal.bsky.social · 2y agoIt's time for some new airway terminology! Introducing "flextension" - flexion of the lower cervical spine & extension of the upper cervical spine It is the optimal position for non-infant airway management #AnSky #MedSky #AirwaySky @chrimesy.com @doctimcook.bsky.social https://buff.ly/4eSw2Yo

Posture during intubation differs markedly between novices and experts! Consider vertical head movement from mouth opening to tracheal tube insertion. MAC DL Novices: 23.5 cm Experts: 3.5 cm McGrath VL Novices: 10.7 cm Experts: ~ 0 cm #AnSky #MedSky #AirwayTwitter https://buff.ly/3CCR5AF
@pedsanesnet.bsky.social @sapnakmd.bsky.social @drseanbarnes.bsky.social looks like #pedsanes will be off brand for this platform…in line with #MedSky and #RASky …..should we claim #PedsAnesSky?
We definitely need a #pedsanes starter pack here- I nominate @pedsanesnet.bsky.social to take the lead
