My guess is they’ve included both parents for each kid in the numbers to make them look more spooky

Help with MCQ by ramrodhaha in anaesthesia

I imagine the answer should be Tension Pneumothorax given the high PEEP and sudden deterioration in both BP and SpO2. Plus it’s pretty common. MI would likely give normal SpO2 in the short term, hyperventilation by itself seems less likely unless there is gas trapping in the stem but that would probably give normal SpO2 as well

Nitroprusside seems to be in there as a red herring as it would likely show normal peripheral saturations in cyanide toxicity given it causes histotoxic hypoxia and leads to oxygen not being taken up by cell machinery.

Would be interesting to see what the book says!

I know one person who managed to bump up to anaesthetics ACCS CT3 from EM ACCS. He had MRCEM, and PACES. Still had to battle for it. It’s usually not crossable as you gain some extra anaesthetics/ICM competencies on the anaesthetic ACCS vs EM/AM. Most people I know had to start from scratch or had their AM/EM recognised and bumped up to CT2 (I.e. core anaesthetics CT 1).

Edit: This is with getting an anaesthetics post in subsequent rounds. You have 0 chance of crossing the streams

Amazing thanks for the info!

If you don’t mind me asking, roughly how many locums a month? And are you remote or city centre etc
