Tim Cook auditioning for the Newsnight digital studio…. Great talk!

Steve Gill 💙 🇺🇦 All true - the one caveat is that if the patient was already producing aerosols through exertional respiratory activity or cough they will continue to do so with CPAP & HFNO…..but it’s the patient not the procedure (& the CPAP/HFNO even reduces it a bit) Nick Wilson Euan Tovey

In about a month….

Fantastic talk from Nick Wilson ! The science behind the elusive “AGP” and the (lack of?) evidence at such a central topic to the pandemic. Why did these precautions become so apparent? We’ve never seen a cough cloud before either… #EAFest2022 #AGP

Free this Thursday, why it went wrong and how we can do better!

𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 Ed Mariano, MD, MAS, FASA, FASRA 🇺🇸🇵🇭 This is nice Check this out- Top 10 papers in Anaesthesia (top ranked journal in the field) Andy Shrimpton Tony Jules Brown Nick Wilson Euan Tovey John Roberts

Thanks Anaesthesia for the recognition. Aerosol scientists, clinicians and statisticians collaborating made it happen. Humans only accomplish awesome achievements when they work together! #sendingscience

"how long has your paper been out for peer review" "one Truss, so we should hear back soon"

Hugely disappointing that Office of the Chief Executive NHSScotland 10 Oct IPC manual nipcm.hps.scot.nhs.uk/media/2005/202… despite referring to the NHS England 9 June AGP review england.nhs.uk/wp-content/upl… Cites the 20 April @NHSE IPC manual & not the 8 June version england.nhs.uk/wp-content/upl… Updating AGP list is overdue

Here we go again #Type2fun

At Royal College of Anaesthetists speaking to RAFT A joy to highlight exceptional doctors who it was my luck to work with in the pandemic Their work has high impact & in some cases changed national policy May their careers flourish Emira Kuršumović Andrew Kane Richard Armstrong Nick Wilson Andy Shrimpton

Hospital-Acquired COVID-19 in England, 16th Mar 2023 In the last 28 days, of 26,484 patients in hospital with Covid-19, 8,644 probably or definitely caught it there (32.6%) Looks like >30% is standard now. This isn't great. 1/

Thanks to CO2 team! EAF organisers for the opportunity. Well done Nancy! I now own a quaich, need to learn how to pronounce it!

Our new study suggests carbon dioxide monitoring could be used to identify areas of inadequate environmental ventilation within acute hospital areas. Ensuring all hospital areas have adequate ventilation could reduce the risk of airborne infection. …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

🚨During the 1st national lockdown, SARS2 infection risk was 3.5x greater in patient-facing healthcare workers compared to non patient-facing staff Then & now, hospital infection control policies fail to address air hygiene Did you know that NHS leaders don't care about air?

Really excited to share the results of the EPOCHS study, a collaborative multicentre observational study of cardiogenic shock in Scotland. Highlights: ➡️ CS = 3% of ICU admissions in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ➡️ Half due to acute MI, half other causes ➡️ 30-day mortality 54% journals.sagepub.com/eprint/INFTPFJ…

COVID INQUIRY tweet 5 Reasons why ICU was LOWER RISK for transmission of INFECTION to staff than the WARDS I think ….for multiple reasons 1 Better access to PPE generally 2 Better access to effective PPE (ie FFP3 masks) 3 Better ventilation of the environment (eg see
