The law and airway management, looking at what we do through a different lens now with Maryanne Balkin. The tort of negligence has 4 elements:
1. duty of care
2. breach of standard of care
3. causation
4. injury or harm

Expert witnesses are paramount in establishing the standards of care in cases where there is an issue with diagnosis or treatment #DAS2022

Peri-extubation complications - where are we? @MatteoParotto #DAS2022
For every study on extubation there are almost 10 on intubation, we don't appear to pay as much attention for extubation....#DAS2022
NAP 4 showed that extubation is where a significant amount of airway complications occur #DAS2022
Why do we used cuffed tracheal tubes in children? Starting the international session this afternoon, the links @dasairway has with other airway societies is wonderful
The subglottic area is the narrowest part in children, the resistance whilst advancing the ETT is due to stenosis in the subglottic region #DAS2022
Microcuff paediatric ETT have really changed practice, moving from uncuffed tubes to cuffed tubes in paediatric patients #DAS2022
Preventing unrecognised oesophageal intubation from @doctimcook. The recent guideline is an absolute must read …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
For me the saddest part of @doctimcook's anatomy of an unrecognised oesophageal intubation

The wonderful @Fionafionakel updating on human factors guidelines that are coming from DAS soon.....#DAS2022
Human factors are not just non-technical skills, design of safe systems is the most important aspect in #DAS2022
Humans are fallible, healthcare is relying on high levels of human performance but this is not a fail safe mechanism and performance is liable to fall off in high pressure situations #DAS2022
Mass casualty events @karimbrohi - recent special issue of the @BJAJournals is a must read bjanaesthesia.org/issue/S0007-09…
Anaesthetists are right in the middle of this when they occur....has your department thought about this and what are your plans? #DAS2022

Phases of mass casualty events
Chaos - the unknown and the surge
Reception - patients arrive
Consolidation
Definitive Care
Rehabilitation - for patients, staff and the department #DAS2022

Tension occurs between casualty flow, providing optimal trauma care and constrained resources #DAS2022
To manage this tension:
Effective and multiple time-point triage by experts
Damage control response to protect resources and maintain institutional capability

Pre-hospital urban trauma in London - Dr Claire McCahill. Majority penetrating trauma and relating to knife crime, road traffic collisions, fall from height - also trains and underground incidents #DAS2022
Safety concerns with knife crime - wearing a stab vest to intubate sounds awful #DAS2022
Data from London Airway Ambulance 99.3% initial success rate for intubation. Standardised techniques, standardised drugs, use of a bougie for every intubation and a check and challenge checklist #DAS2022
Being stuck in a trauma situation is bad - increase in mortality when longer pre-hospital time to in-hospital trauma care. What analgesia you use to facilitate movement and transfer is vital #DAS2022
Pre-hospital blood transfusion, the evidence is still out on this. Can be used as a temporary measure but obviously can't carry enough for a massive haemorrhage scenario #DAS2022
Where next? Whole blood transfusion and FFP trials in pre-hospital trauma care coming soon....#DAS2022
Specific airway concerns - facial swelling from proning, very PEEP dependant and body habitus concerns - making transfers of COVID-19 patients more challenging #DAS2022
Airway triage crucial for deciding which patients to transfer - ruled out difficult intubations, maintaining patient safety, sedating and paralysing patients for the transfer and ensuring the tube was well secured #DAS2022
Remember your primary physics - air filled cuff will expand with aeromedical transfer! #DAS2022
