Planning my session for the Royal Brompton Tracheostomy & Ventilation Outreach trache vent study days - what would be most helpful to learn on the topic of leaving hospital for new and existing trache vent patients? SiLVaH ACPRC

Tell me I’m not alone in finding this irritating? * if not, you must be a culprit of writing a fraction of inspired oxygen as a percentage

Do you work with people with MND? Better Outcomes in MND are looking for clinicians to support a project looking at quality of life in #MND See below ⬇️

Have you heard that Breas have temporarily withdrawn their Lung Volume Recruitment bag from the market? Are you panicking? Don’t worry! You can buy all the components from Intersurgical Here’s the component list

There’s still some availability on this study day covering all things TIV in the community! ACPRC SiLVaH

Good work ⁦Royal Brompton and Harefield⁩ 🎉 Ranked 4th worldwide for lung care ⁦Royal Brompton Tracheostomy & Ventilation Outreach⁩ instagram.com/p/CxapEHJoJ8H/…

Also great for those working in ITU.. this patient group will always be cared for in ITU if admitted, so great to learn about how things differ for them at home and how to best support them during admissions!

Take home points from the first talk of the NMP meeting ACPRC Carbocysteine has a diurnal effect - include a pre-bed dose. Should be weaned to a maintenance dose of 1500mg daily. 45% remain on the higher initiation dose New mucoactive drugs to explore: Erdosteine & NACSYS

Excellent videos from Charlotte Massey & Jodi Allen talking about the upper airway in MND. I’ve always thought about glottic closure issues but not necessarily glottis opening issues and laryngospasm 🤔 MND Association

Today I have the pleasure of supporting the MND Association MND Education study day in London on all things secretion management and airway clearance. Great line up of speakers Charlotte Massey Jodi Allen Michelle Chatwin Dorinda

Assessment (and treatment) needs to be: 1. Holistic (small to big picture) 2. Responsive to a changing clinical picture / disease progression / patient wishes and priorities 3. Cyclical 4. Systematic and joined up across professionals and teams Charlotte Massey Jodi Allen

A handy resource produced by Dorinda to guide the management of acute choking episodes in MND MND Education MND Association

Interesting discussion around the use of atropine administration sublingually for saliva management.. 1. Where in the mouth do people place/advise to use the drops? 2. Do you drop directly into the mouth or administer on a spoon? 3. Do you advise good saliva/mouth clearance pre?

Great talk from Brendan McGrath on early cuff deflation in ITU Atos Medical UK.. 🏡 LOS shortened with early cuff deflation ➕ve pressure is not lost when the cuff is deflated on TIV ➕ve pressure can be helpful to push saliva etc up and out when the cuff is deflated

A point I’ve never considered in trache weaning and rehab highlighted by Emma Rybicki Atos Medical UK NTSP_UK Using a OOV with cuff deflation allows a patient to perform a valsalva manoeuvre through resorted glottic closure.. this helps brace for mobility & toileting!

Very pleased this has now been published in full technicolour!🥳 The Non-Invasive Ventilation Outcomes (#NIVO) score works in patients requiring NIV for 'COPD exacerbation' but who do not have prior evidence of airflow obstruction #NIV #RespIsBest🫁📚🧑‍🔬 publications.ersnet.org/content/erjor/…
