Tom Dolphin🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ Nicholas Chrimes 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 Fiona Difficult Airway Society (DAS) The KEY point here is that the evidence review is not stating “clinical examination is of no value” What it DOES say is “clinical examination is of no value in excluding oesophageal intubation” Further, clinical examination can lead one down a path of misdirection that ends in

If you take issue with this statement, raise your concerns directly with Tim Cook Jan Hansel & Ellen O’Sullivan @ProEllenO.bsky.social during this interactive livestream discussion on the essential nature of capnography.


JustaKiwi Tim Cook Jan Hansel Ellen O’Sullivan @ProEllenO.bsky.social No the exact problem is that that combination of things CAN'T be used to exclude oesophageal intubation. If you see it go in, have good SpO2, chest rise & breath sounds but inadeq CO2, oesophageal intubation still needs to be excluded. The other reassuring signs are irrelevant.

Al May JustaKiwi Tim Cook Jan Hansel Ellen O’Sullivan @ProEllenO.bsky.social Yes, other signs can still be used to help IDENTIFY oesophageal intubation & raise clinical suspicion but if the criteria for 'sustained exhaled CO2' aren't met, other clinical signs can't be used to reassure you that the tube is correctly placed. Only 'valid alternative techs'.

Tim Cook Al May Nose Coloured Glasses - Stavros Prineas Airwaves Nicholas Chrimes bob funnekotter Sorry to miss you all- agree with Tim Cook that either works well Our human factors guidelines group recommended CUSS for 2 reasons… - easier to remember - allows for team leaders to ‘listen down’ and realise that they are “being CUSS‘ed”!!! …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
