Knowing when to intubate versus when to not intubate
This is a very frustrating question on UWORLD. I understand that in some circumstances, such as anaphylaxis or croup, you would use epinephrine and racemic epi, respectively, over intubation. But for something like opioid intoxication, UWORLD sometimes says that intubation is the right first choice and sometimes naloxone is the right first choice. So should I assume that if there is a fast way to reverse respiratory depression, I wouldn't choose intubation? For example, if someone has a RR...

Versed and fentanyl for sedation
What are y'all's thoughts on the common practice and combination of versed and fentanyl for procedural sedation and Mac? This practice is incredibly pervasive in anesthesia. In my reading and understanding it seems like versed alone would be the much better agent as combining the two makes a patient much more prone to respiratory depression per benzodiazepine warnings. Yet we routinely give both. Is there any utility to fentanyl for minimal stimulation procedures aka less painful? I'm a...

Patient Nearly Dies After CRNA Mishap
For anybody short on time, the patient had a hip replacement under general anesthesia in a Phoenix outpatient surgery center, and experiences respiratory arrest progressing to cardiac arrest in PACU. The case was covered by an unsupervised CRNA, but an anesthesiologist from another group helped with resuscitation in PACU. The patient woke up in the emergency department at the university hospital. Apparently, the patient didn't know that there was no anesthesiologist, and the surgeon was...

RSV Vaccine
Strong RSV vaccine data lifts hopes after years of futility
New research shows vaccinating pregnant women helped protect their newborns from the common but scary respiratory virus called RSV that fills hospitals with wheezing babies each fall.
apnews.com
Interesting news. An effective RSV vaccine after so many years. One has to wonder 1) how this will change seasonal viral patterns and 2) if ever there will be vaccine fatigue. The latter maybe won’t happen but I do wonder if people are going to continually sign up for multiple booster shots for v...

Formula 1: Albon reintubated after Lap Appy
Never thought F1 would intersect with anesthesia. Official statement from Williams:
"Further to Alex Albon’s diagnosis of appendicitis on the morning of Saturday 10 September, he was admitted to San Gerardo hospital for treatment. He underwent a successful laparoscopic surgery on Saturday lunchtime.
Following surgery, Alex suffered with unexpected post-operative anaesthetic complications which led to respiratory failure, a known but uncommon complication. He was re-intubated and...
