@DrMaxSayers @clare_angela_ Not all compulsory courses offer significant value beyond being procedural formalities to meet risk management requirements, allowing the organisation to claim compliance. Therefore, if these courses impose a time cost on participants, that time should be reimbursed.

@mokaeleni @GongGasGirl Or alternatively reduce cost of hospital stay and hope the patients have been appropriate selected. Not convinced it’s optimal, just cheaper with a different risk benefit.

@berniebentick @clare_angela_ While here in Australia, Specialist Anaesthetist is a protected title to avoid confusion as it seems the word consultant can be used to describe a multitude of roles, medical and non medical and restrictions on the word consultant seems highly unlikely.

@NicholasChrimes Would you not be better to go from DL to havl or even better start at Mac VL if you’re airway assessment suggested it was going to be straight forward?

@Winn_on_Health @Gastrografin1 @cricketRH In some parts of the world, the title specialist (inset medical speciality) is a legally protected title for consultants in a specific field of medicine.

@jducanto @breath_punctual @AirwayMxAcademy Agree Also the assessment should be used to determine your plans rather than 1. assessment done ✔️ 3.use VL. 4.Write a page of notes documenting the subsequent hypoxia This can be what happens when you miss Step 2. Consider assessment and determine plan #2curvetheory
@doctimcook @audreydejongMD @BJAJournals @Fionafionakel From a presentation a whileback basedon ANZCA airway assessment & I'll preface this with that the 1st slide is open 2debate about whether it should be a VL first line or not.Personal view if VL available, it should be used, provided its not resource limited ie turnaround time 1/2

@NicholasChrimes @AirwayMxAcademy @Nitrousman75 @GongGasGirl @AirwayHub @SafeAirway @doctimcook @BryanGlezerson @neumanmd @DrGetafix @EMARIANOMD 2/2 Hence the need for a different classification to identify if a video laryngoscope was used. From the pragmatic need for accurate documentation to the idealistic hope for consistency and detail, That’s what we are really discussing.

@AirwayMxAcademy @NicholasChrimes @Nitrousman75 @GongGasGirl @AirwayHub @SafeAirway @doctimcook @BryanGlezerson @neumanmd @DrGetafix @EMARIANOMD Oops, 3/2. Anyway, I use POGO for documentation Agree with Hans, it's not "rocked science"—just about what you see and how you obtained view C&L should be saved for direct view, not VL. #NuancesButImportant

@AirwayLegend @PedsAnesNet @AirwayMxAcademy @jducanto @cliffreid @DaveOlvera1 @airwayGladiator if using vision only, the only sure way is confirming you can see the carina to know the tube is in the trachea

@AirwayLegend @PedsAnesNet @AirwayMxAcademy @jducanto @cliffreid @DaveOlvera1 @airwayGladiator Agree it is a technical issue and if you only saw the bottom half of the picture, you could potentially intubate it in the assumption it was the glottic inlet only for the co2 to prove it wasn’t
