A two-person verbal intubation check has been proposed to reduce unrecognised oesophageal intubation. Our feasibility study reported that: ✅ possible to implement this in two UK hospitals. ✅ it was acceptable to the majority of intubators and intubating assistants.

TWO PERSON CHECKING TO LESSEN RISK OF OESOPHAGEAL INTUBATION is feasible & acceptable Great to see this paper in early access in British Journal of Anaesthesia A simple feasibility study supported both 2-person checking of capnograph trace (sustained exhaled CO2) & 2-person checking of

2-person checks of intubation Exit survey: still highly positive Conclusion 2-person checks of intubation are highly feasible & acceptable to intubators & assistants -judged to reduce risk of unrecognised oesophageal intubation -multiple team & human factor benefits

Still need to interview more Drs and nurses who have worked in ICU within past 12 months about treating patients with mental health issues on the Unit. Please continue to share Sophia Henderson Margi Jenkins 💙 ICUsteps Millsy 💙 (Helen Richards) Tim Cook Fiona BACCN 💙 Royal College of Anaesthetists

Through The Cords-Next Generation Airway Tools Good question HYPERANGULATED VL: OPTIMISING TECHNIQUE As ever, I think the answer lies with careful attention to some simple tips In RUH Bath 🏥 we teach a technique of -optimising view (pic1 ) achieving a grade 1 view - divide the screen into 3x3 grid & the glottis should be

Louella Vaughan Many will disagree with this. Regarding the picture it’s the one item that seems to provide accurate information about the individual that others might need. More generally hats (like badges) inform those around you who you are -useful & unambiguous to patients who may forget

And another Great Science Letter from our team -everyday VL - within patient comparisons of laryngeal view with a Mac VL vs Mac DL - 1373 patients - all grades, experience & locations Difficult laryngoscopy DL 2.5% VL

Here's a humdinger.... "Assessing the incidence of ‘can see, cannot intubate easily’ during routine use of C-MAC videolaryngoscopy." Is it a real problem - with a MacVL - with a HAVL Well basically no! Another cracking science letter from the team @anaesthesia Fiona
