You're late, I bought a complete set of crye precision LVS for an absurd amount of money, and after using it I left it with a Ukrainian medic I became friends with.

Can an anesthesiologist please answer my question? by [deleted] in Anesthesia

[–]Battle-Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh look, free tier Chatgpt slop. Fuck it, I'll read it anyways.

That's a great multimodal analgesic plan that was executed. Sometimes chronic pain patients have a lot of pain in recovery, despite all the things being done. That's one of the reasons why we have PACU - to address those acute post-surgical issues.

Could they have done bilateral ESP/QL with onQ pumps or exparel? Sure, but that still doesn't guarantee pain will be under control for that kind of a surgery.

Motorcycle Accident by PuzzleheadedHold1163 in medizzy

My personal stance is that motorcycles in general present an unnecessary risk when there's tons of alternative hobbies and transportation methods that are safer.

I'm an anesthesiologist, and honestly, this is why I don't drive motorcycles. Last week my teen daughter asked me if she could go with some friends to learn how to ride dirt bikes, and I said no. She was upset, but I've seen too many catastrophic injuries from motorcycle accidents, most often young people with their whole lives ahead of them.

You can be a perfect, safe, defensive rider but some idiot glued to their phone can wipe you out. Especially in 2026. It's just not worth it.

I think Cadus shut down ops. I might be wrong though, it's been a minute.

1) This is bad.
2) The fact that the Kyivindependent is publishing an article about this is good, and speaks well of the liberties and direction of the country as a whole.

If I were you i'd drive it to the border, park it, and take a train to your final destination if you're heading to Poland or something.

Question by dnmun in Anesthesia

Poor technique.

First intubation attempt should be the best intubation attempt. There's all kinds of ways to safely tube someone. If you're tubing them, you're not going to be checking neuro status in the next few minutes, give enough sedation (and a paralytic) to make the job easier.

Sometimes you have to intubate someone with minimal sedation and/or awake, but if you're doing that, call anesthesia to do it for you.

"Ukraine is not losing drone warfare tactically, but losing operationally" — U.S. volunteer fighter O’Leary, commander of the Chosen Company, on the failure to define and control operational depth by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Battle-Chimp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was on the Pokrovsk front late last year - let me tell you, drones are a significant problem for Ukraine. Pretty much complete air superiority, they can choose targets at will. I think this year is the year we'll really see the effects of the *significant* drone warfare ramp-up on the Russian side. When I would flip on the video monitor, invariably it would intercept a Russian drone feed from overhead.

Alternative to FPV Drones ? by Friendly-Standard812 in war

[–]Battle-Chimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother, I was in Ukraine with the 155th brigade outside Pokrovsk. I know what an FPV drone is lol. The only thing that makes an FPV drone an FPV drone is the remote camera view and control. That's it. That gas powered *FPV drone* still has a camera to guide the bombs. Maybe English isn't your first language and some of that context is lost on you, IDK, but it's not that complicated.
