Ether anesthesia was used for the first time OTD in 1842, in an operation by the surgeon Dr. Crawford Long, but it wasn't the first use of anesthetic gases https://toilet-guru.com/delphi.html?s=mb #anesthesiology #history

General anesthesia, regardless of the specific pharmaceutical agent used, induces unconsciousness by fundamentally disrupting the brain's delicate balance between stability and excitability. Although different drugs target varying receptors, they all produce a universal destabilization pattern that ultimately ceases conscious neural activity.

Effects of the design of operating rooms/theatres on safety is vastly underestimated . In this new study we looked at improving the delays for calling for help using an emergency buzzer by making it more visible using a red line from the ceiling to the buzzer.
Installing the line more than halved the number of times calling for help was delayed.

"My good deed for the week. A 🧵

Halfway through my endo list yesterday the DSU nurse came in.
“The last patient's arrived with his mother. He’s autistic and says he gets seizures when he is overstimulated.” She handed me his file. “There’s a letter from the neurologist”.

@flavia_feijo_epi Correct! Blue urticaria is pretty much pathognomic of allergy to patent blue dye. A dye which is often used in the identification of sentinel nodes in breast surgery.
These reactions are often found in the post-anaesthetic care unit because, unlike most intravenous drugs causing perioperative anaphylaxis they cause delayed rather than immediate reactions.

More information in the NAP6 report here: https://www.nationalauditprojects.org.uk/downloads/NAP6%20Chapter%2018%20-%20Patent%20Blue%20dye.pdf

Every month we receive a personalised #Sevoflurane usage report at the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne like the one below.

This report is generated from data on EPIC and is compared this to the department average as well as providing some useful insight into the greenhouse gas impact of our practice.

@KrisBallard I used to get the gas… until my body stopped taking it at a “desirable” level. (I guess they maybe had to give me more gas than oxygen and they didn’t like that? Maybe someone from #dentists #dentistry #anesthesiologists #anesthesiology #oralsurgeon #oralsurgery can chime in)

So then they gave me Valium instead… which worked for a bit until it didn’t. And my dentist wasn’t comfortable giving me both gas and Valium.

Then I was supposed to go get a deep cleaning, and my appointment changed last minute to a normal cleaning with a different dentist than the one I’d been seeing for almost 20 years. I tried really hard to make it through the appointment, but I ended up saying to the dentist I was unfamiliar with, “with all due respect…. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck you.”

Absolutely my problem and my fault, I just hadn’t realized my dental anxiety had gotten that bad. My regular dentist at that practice had always found a way to make it work for me, so I really respect her for calling me in and saying, “I do not have the machinery/mechanisms here to provide you with what you need at this point.”
She also absolutely could’ve left it at that and had me find someone else myself… but she’d done some research for me and found full sedation dentists that were covered by the insurance I had (at the time [2019]) and I will always respect the hell out of her for that.

Sorry for the novel 🥲
