Tube


Today the surgical society ran an anaesthetics session. We had a lecture on the history of anaesthesia, "an introduction to field anaesthesia in africa", and (the fun part) a practical airway management session.

We got to play with endotracheal tubes, oropharyngeal airways, nasopharyngeal airways, and the fabulous ambu bag. LOVE IT!!!!!









Unfortunately, I only managed to intubate the stomach in the adult dummy....
But I rocked out on paeds.....

And the anaesthetists were super nice and said we could come and hang out with them in theatre any time!

So, a good day.

we had a c-spine type thing from one of those societies that was pretty exciting to do.
