My last day as a registrar! My first week as an respiratory advanced trainee was the week we admitted our first patient with covid. A tough 3 years- survived mostly thanks to incredible co-regs (pictured) and caffeine. No more sleepless on call every 4th night! I’m done! 🫁

👀it’s out! The llatest 2023 GOLD COPD guidance has been released...

🌟There are BIG changes this year. Here are my first thoughts… but lots to digest:

TL/DR:
1. Revised defn
2. Etiotypes
3. ABCD is out, ABE is in
4. Farewell ICS-LABA
5. New exacerbation defn

Psychological safety: Safety is not the same as comfort. A leader's role is not to protect their team from discomfort. It’s to protect them from harm - and to help motivate them to push through the discomfort and harness it for growth: shorturl.at/RXZ34 By shanesnow

I don't know who made this, but I saw it on here, laughed a lot, saved it, printed it out and stuck it above my computer, and have since spent all my time ignoring its very sensible advice.

Rule of Emergency Medicine #114: If you think now is a bad time to have a discussion about end of life decisions you won't believe how much worse it will be in about two hours.

Kudos Ash on this fantastic & refreshing update on Asthma Dx and Management

Nice to have a clear guide on Phenotyoes (allergic vs eosinophilic) Endotypes (Hi vs Low Th2) and special considerations (biological, Thunderstorm, Covid19) all in one!

Excited to share our paper -‘Overview of recent advancements in asthma management’ via The IMJ

Key points
1. No adults with asthma (even mild) should be on PRN SABA without ICS
2. Multiple biologics exist for severe
3. Self-mgmt & action plans

Home oxygen probably makes little or no difference to 3-year mortality in patients with COPD and moderate hypoxaemia. The data do not support the widespread use of home oxygen in this patient population. The Lancet Respiratory Medicine thelancet.com/journals/lanre…

A tribute to one of the giants of Emergency Medicine, Joseph Epstein: bit.ly/3tSS3Bn
'His passion and energy for emergency medicine and his care and advocacy for his patients were second to none. Joe will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have come into his orbit.'
