NARRATIVE REVIEW OF RSI

Loads of information & we hope a good overview

The topic is very controversial, sadly sometimes driven by not being up to dare with the existing evidence.

Feel free to read, discuss & dispute!

Clinical Human Factors Group getting off the fence here @ClinicalHF

Suitably strong words re monitors & unrecognised oesophageal intubation

Agree - but sorting monitors is not enough

Increased awareness of criteria for sustained exhaled CO2 also needed

Random thought, I was wondering what the collective noun is for human factors experts

I reckon

“A HuFf of Ergonomists”

is a starting point…..

Delighted to see this editorial is generating discussion & debate around PUMA’s extubation guidelines

Long live civil debate

In this editorial, @dr_imranahmad & @doctimcook consider the PUMA tracheal extubation guidelines and ask - towards clarity or complexity?

"Should we continue to develop guidelines tailored to specific clinical scenarios, considering factors such as location, speciality and patient characteristics? Or is it possible for a single, universal guideline to be applied globally, like the PUMA group envisages?"
