A to E assessment of your patients, use #POCUS! @SICStrainees @sicsmembers #ultrascoundrels #FOAMed #FOAMcc #FOAMus I will explain how at #SICS18 and #IFAD2018 @Manu_Malbrain @Fluid_Academy @avkwong @iceman_ex @Gas_Craic @cianmcdermott @ffolliet @ccpractitioner @ffolliet

Get a third person to let you know when say the SpO2 drops to a certain level and vocally remind you of your plan. Don’t divert from it under stress! #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc @rallydoc on obesity. Remi, Roc, Suggamadex are your friends in the obese patient!

Going well here at #SICS18 ....my talk is done! Next up is the very dapper @rallydoc on obesity 👍👍 #foamed #foamcc #pocus

Here they are...@rallydoc and the lovely @hughgifford #SICS18 #FOAMcc #FOAMed

Harrowing stuff as @rallydoc puts up this harrowing slide and tells us the auto-bias that results from being obese #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc

Keep Vt out of closing volume...PEEP is your pal here!! #SICS18 @rallydoc #foamed #foamcc

So @rallydoc talks about intuitive heuristic thinking or system 1 thinking when we encounter obesity #SICS18 @foamed @foamcc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
We are less likely to admit the obese patient to ITU. Cognitive bias, added to visceral bias promotes disenfranchisement when making decisions on admission #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc

And this is why they desaturate so quickly @rallydoc explains #SICS18 BVM more difficult, intubation may not be though. #foamed #foamcc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
@rallydoc shows us a very simple decision making schematic for induction in the obese patient! #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
RSI in the obese patient is all about minimising desaturation time ...plan, plan and plan some more. Don’t get blasé and caught out! #SICS18 @rallydoc #foamed #foamcc

Lovely airway plan from @rallydoc This is what they would write on the board so all are aware. VL is his friend in these patients. #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
Remember the lean body mass formula!! #SICS18 @rallydoc reminds us to work this out in the obese patient.
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
“Fag packet maths”!! Work out LBM in obese patients! #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc @rallydoc

When anaesthetising the bariatric Patient, should you take consent for potential cricothyroidotomy?? Particularly if you are ultrasounding the neck to mark CTM? #foamed #foamcc #pocus #SICS18 @rallydoc

Now the lovely Ramani Moonesinghe on the high risk surgical patient. #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
Perhaps we should focus on the so called lower risk groups within surgery. Mortality is surprising!! #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
What works on ITU then??? #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc OPTIMISE-2 FLOELA etc
November 19, 2024 at 1:08 PM
We just don’t have the ITU capacity to cope!!! #SICS18 #foamed #foamcc
