Paediatric Retrieval
When I’m not working in the emergency department, playing with my children or doing DFTB ‘stuff’ I work for the state retrieval service. As the name Adult Retrieval Victoria implies I spend my time moving and coordinating the movement of critically ill or injured adults around the state. There is a dearth of retrieval textbooks…

Baby’s eyes and the three bears
This is the written post version of a talk by Dr Andrew Weatherall for the South African Society of Anesthesiologists Congress 2017. As invited faculty the organising committee covered registration, accommodation and travel to attend. There are a bunch of ways a talk involving three bears and baby’s eyes could go. I don’t think it’s likely anyone […]

Optimal oxygenation in ICU intubations
Pre-oxygenate your sick pts in ICU/ER with NIV or high-flow oxygen (or both!) before intubation to avoid desaturation and collaps.#ISICEM17 pic.twitter.com/hnZ5RMu2nG

OPTINIV: combining NIV w high-flow oxygen (=apneic oxygenation) seems to best preserve oxygenation during intubation in the ICU. #ISICEM17 pic.twitter.com/PITHXLXzQZ

Key message ico urgent intubation: oxygenation takes priority. Use NIV to pre-ventilate = B-ABC approach #ISICEM17 pic.twitter.com/KquOms04XE

#Mayo favors "graded sedation" w no muscle relaxants vs RSI for emergency intubation. I would combine NIV, graded sedation then relaxants. pic.twitter.com/jiminpLpDy

Neonatal retrieval

Sedating kids in strange spots
This post is based on a talk prepared by Dr Andrew Weatherall for the South African Society of Anesthesiologists Congress for 2017 held in Johannesburg. As invited faculty I think when they first offered this the plan was to do sedation in the dental chair. Which I’ve never done. And this is for a refresher […]
