@@ABCsofAnaesthesia difficult ventilation once the ett is in. For me im not sure how to ventilate pneumothorax on chest tube, heart failure ,and asthmatic patients. Appreciate any input on those types of cases. P.s would like to say ur videos are lifesavers for me and my patients here. Lots of love from Malaysia .

Sir, would you prefer to use etomidate as a hypnotic in the ischemic cardiomyopathy case?

Def an option, its not available in australia so ive never used it … theres worse long term survival due to hypothalamic pituitary suppression but the benefits of stability may be worth it… Whats your experience?

@@ABCsofAnaesthesia We use etomidate in the UK. My understanding is that worse long term survival and HPA suppression is largely for infusions on ITU and less true for a one off dose. Or at least the HPA suppression is transient and has less clinical significance. There are good alternatives though, so i'm not sure if the benefit is worth the potential risk.

I’ve been watching your videos, thank u for making them. How do u stabilize the vein before u insert it? Veins r always seeming to roll on me.

Just thought I'd try to help you out here -- if you check the channel's uploaded videos, you'll find multiple videos about IV technique. There are probably over 3 hours of IV-related content for you to look over. Good luck!

Put your thumb above the vein (above where you going to insert the needle/cannula) and pull up. It should pull the skin/vein taught. Don’t be afraid to press semi-firmly. Sometimes it’s better to place your thumb below and pull down. You can release tension and palpate the vein and then pull taut find your position, then relax to confirm etc. until you feel comfortable. Don’t be afraid to take your time to feel, especially if it’s their only good vein. When you do finally stick, don’t hesitate. Hesitation gives the vein time to roll. Stick firmly, veins that roll are typically harder to “pop” into. Finally, if you don’t get a flash immediately, don’t angle the need left and right to try and find the vein, you’ll sidewall it, and the vein will blow. Keep your catheter still and palpate with a finger on your other hand. Try and feel if your catheter is next to the vein etc. Once you know how you should adjust, pull your catheter almost out (still under the skin for sterility) and reinsert. Hope this helps!
