🔓In the UK @NHS, ethnicity, but not socio-economic status, was associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications in children having surgery for acute appendicitis.

The media focuses on white skinned people. Children with darker skin are at higher risk from health inequalities partly due to poor health messaging. #ScarletFever

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin.

I looked at London Covid admissions today & they made me cry.
We've been admitting a medium sized hospital worth of Covid patients EVERY day for 3 weeks.
KCL hospital is one of London's largest at 950 beds.
On 6th Jan we admitted 977 Covid patients.
What have we done?

It also provides the media with a better understanding of what the data means to help make their reports on ICU beds clearer.

A really great ICU nurse I know has lost his wife to COVID-19. She leaves behind 2 daughters. 😥
My heart goes out to Joel and his daughters at this difficult time. Please consider a small donation to help the family out. gofundme.com/f/jennie-sablay…

To explain our rationale...
COVID-19 seems to present as 2 phenotypes: initially high compliance with poor V/Q match and low recruitability, ‘dry’ lungs; versus subsequent low compliance, ‘wet’ lungs, potentially recruitable.

Intubatrd 1st covid 19 pt, SpO2 90-93 15 L. RR 22, talking sentences easily but followed advice RSI early. No BVM, held mask 10 PEEP. Sats 68 in 20s. Bagged up fine. Beware

Intubated a ?COVID pt today with an anticipated difficult airway + HD instability. Thoughts I've reflected on after the fact:
Before - role ID, plan for all contingencies (meds, rescue, resus), imagery of sequences, most experienced intubator, have filters/tubes/PPE ready
Amaki S retweeted
We're using simulation training to identify the problems around the intubation of patients with #coronavirus.
Pay particular attention to
1. Communication
2. Temp control
3. Access
4. Speed
