How to say you don’t understand anaesthesia billing without saying it abc.net.au/news/2024-04-0…

Excellent response to ABC News article on billing times. If the authors and external consultant in this story actually understood what happens in operating theatres, the article would have been written quite differently. Perhaps checking facts with The Australian Society of Anaesthetists ANZCA first?

Most knee replacement patients now walk the same day, have minimal pain for the first 2 days, and can go home the same day as surgery. It's not because of a robot. Other than putting in the components well, it's not because of your surgeon. I know you paid 20,000-50,000 out of

Good thread by Dr Nav Sidhu unpacking the implications of GLP-1 and fasting status. I have to say: just learn #pocus gastric ultrasound. It’s not that difficult to master. And provides definitive answers to help your patient, and you. These guidelines are IMHO too unhelpful

Our CEO Mel McKendrick and our CMO Professor Graeme McLeod along with Alwin Chuan new editorial in the British Journal of Anaesthesia titled: Attaining expertise in regional anaesthesia training using a multifactorial approach incorporating deliberate practice. #meded #medtech sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Sooooo....we're now doing gastric POCUS for ALL GLP-1 agonist pts. And the results are...not pretty. It changes our mgmt frequently. Rather than rely on an arbitrary fasting time, a bedside test has been key. If you're new to this, check out this vid 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=4Kc5qV…

Fantastic thread from Jeff. 💯% agree. Dr Nav Sidhu ANZCA
