Organizing cords can be so difficult & nervewracking! BUT it’s a really important part of surgery to master!! Here’s how I go about tackling my cords!! I have been known to be the master of tangling cords~! Unfortunately, it’s effortless to do! Once I have everything set up, I make sure my cords are taken care of!

At the 2023 American Society of Anesthesiologists meeting in San Francisco, I walked by a booth advertising High Flow Nasal Oxygen. The product was called Optiflow. I asked the representative to educate me. She began by opening a package containing an Optiflow nasal cannula, and she strapped it around my head and into my nostrils. Within one minute she started a flow of 40 liters per minute of humidified, warmed 100% oxygen into my nose.

A looming shortage of anesthesiologists globally may affect the accessibility of healthcare in the next ten years. The American Association of Medical Colleges predicts that there will be a workforce gap of as many as 12,500 anesthesiologists in the United States by 2033 (3). Similarly, a study from the UK suggests that there will be a shortage of 11,000 anesthetic staff members by 2040, preventing 8.25 million operations from taking place (3).

A widely acclaimed large language model for genomic data has demonstrated its ability to generate gene sequences that closely resemble real-world variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19. Called GenSLMs, the model, which last year won the Gordon Bell special prize for high performance computing-based COVID-19 research, was trained on a dataset of nucleotide sequences — the building blocks of DNA and RNA.

Rather than ordering lower extremity Doppler ultrasounds for every patient (a study that is costly from a time, financial, and human resource standpoint), I perform a three-point compression ultrasound ( 3PCUS ) to rule out most proximal lower extremity deep vein thromboses (DVTs).
