Getting the most out of your monitor: a tweetorial thread. Inspired by a twitter question from @mork66236485 and @GongGasGirl's chairing of the @aagbi's latest recommendations on monitoring. Lets start with a series of #OnePagers on aspects of the ECG #FOAMed #MedTwitter
One more on the ECG. So much of what we do is pattern recognition, so the next three look at waveforms for three of our most used monitoring devices; arterial/SaO2, capnography and CVP. #FOAMed
NMT and EEG are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Here's a pair of #Onepagers. And we're now going to move on to the information we can get from the monitoring that's part of our ventilators. #FOAMed
Finishing up on ventilator graphics. We move on to point of care coagulation testing and oesophageal doppler (believe it or not, it's still being used!) #FOAMed
For our final three #OnePagers - some devices that you're more likely to encounter in intensive care / cath lab / neuro theatre. I hope that's been helpful! As always let me know what you think! #MedTwitter #FOAMed

The Gotham Anaesthetic Department: a 🧵 #MedTwitter

Batman : he gives you the anaesthetic you need, criminals should be thankful they don’t get the anaesthetic they deserve
Joker: an agent of chaos. Every department has one. Seemingly making it up as he goes along, mixing way too many drugs in the same syringe / a litre bag of fluid
Two-face: the binary anaesthetist. The patient is either awake or asleep, there is no in-between

Hogwarts department of Anaesthesia:

Dr Potter CT1 - From the moment he picked up a laryngoscope, he’s been told “Yer a gasser Harry”
Dr Granger CT1 - passed her primary FRCA at the first opportunity, has 3 QI projects on the go, 6 abstracts under review and can spell ‘Amitriptyline’ without having to look it up
Dr Weasley CT2 - lives by the adage “never say no to a break”, wears second hand theatre shoes from the big bucket in the changing room

Ok here goes - my first attempt at a Tweetorial - let me know what you think ... Intro to Decision Making in General - but maybe in Anaesthesia / Airway Management in particular ... @RCoANews @WeekesLauren @doctimcook @jopo899 @elboghdadly @sally_ghazali @GongGasGirl @dasairway
Decisions are complex and come in two broad categories; What would you do coming to this junction on a dark and stormy night requires a perceptual decision based on sensory data (not a lot of higher cognition)
Who your favourite bond is, is a preferential decision - requiring much more higher cognition and deliberation, but much less sensory input (in case you're wondering, it's Timothy Dalton ... no question)
