The masks we (may or may not) wear
What I appreciated is the technicality of this dive into the evidence of mask ventilation prior to giving a paralytic. In-depth nods to the Jense and Dixon studies with a succinct but clear breakdown of the rationales behind them give great supporting evidence in favor of masking. For me, it was telling that data from the British study showed trainees were more like to check than attendings and that 2/3 would not check in real life but would be uncomfortable saying so on exam. However, the best part about this episode is that there is no final answer. With so many lamenting about the direction of evidence based medicine and the reduction of the “in-game” clinical decision making capacities of doctors, it’s refreshing to hear that Drs. Hao and Saddawi-Konefa aren’t keen on spoon-feeding answers on what to do in the OR. The evidence is presented, but it ultimately lies with the listener to choose what they believe to be the best practice.

Long time listener! This podcast has consistently challenged how I think about my practice. Great topics to chat about with colleagues. Looking forward to more episodes.

I listen to this podcast consistently - I have changed many of my practices because of the literature I’ve been exposed to.
