This is a discussion with Dr Roger Browning (Obstetric Anaesthetist) about his approach to the crashing GA Caesarean scenario.

You can hear more of his pearls at the ObsGynae CritCare podcast

Sadly, the final SMACC conference danced its last moves on Friday. It was an amazing week with lots of learning, inspiration and camaraderie. After the last SMACC in Berlin Justin and I resolved to try and create the best journal club ever at the final SMACC in Sydney.... and I reckon we have done it!

Dr Adam O'Brien and Claire Lissaman are the authors of a new study looking at the diagnostic characteristics of lung US for Paediatric pneumonia.

In this interview we talk about the study and how to scan kids with chest disease.

In this episode Justin and I cover bad science about Xa reversal, good science about sharks, syncope and how to cheat Death.... amongst other random serious stuff

A tricky case for the team

The year is drawing to a close and we have just one more chance to learn from my very wise, ex-Canadian friend Dr Justin Morgenstern. In this month's episode, Justin and I discuss a bunch of papers. Topics include:

• Paediatric plastic poop
• OOHCA Airway options
• Weingart's suction failure
• Cricoid pressure is not-non-inferior to nothing
• a new nasal spray for SVT
• How much insulin is sweet?
• Parachutes: are they really worth the extra luggage fees?

The 3rd instalment of the journal club for rural GP Anaesthetists.

This month we look at papers on medication safety, midazolam as a premed, URTI in kids for elective surgery and lignocaine infusions

This is a story that I told at the DFTB18 storytelling event.

The theme was about kindness, justice and hope.

It is a personal, non-clinical story that I hope can help others out there.

The latest episode of the EBM journal club with Dr Justin Morgenstern

This month we cover a lot of fluids - saline, balance, FFP as well as some penile fractures and Justin explain why he is a great driver.

This month we cover bougies, brain-bleeds and the best Paeds DKA paper ever. We also degenerate into the recent and remote evolutionary history of hiccoughs... fun times are to be had!
