New aeromedical presentations available
I’ve uploaded another two talks onto the ‘Presentations’ page. These are lectures I gave recently as part of the ILS Aviation Health Care Practitioner’s course at the Red Cross Air Mercy Service here in Cape Town. The should be considered introductory, and there is a lot of (verbal) content not in the presentations, but the [...]

King Vision Self-Laryngoscopy
Some time ago I posted a video clip of self-laryngoscopy with a C-MAC. For the sake of proving I don’t necessarily endorse on product over another, here’s a shot from a recent airway course… Yes, I do have a gag reflex. These video laryngoscopes are remarkably atraumatic when used carefully, allowing this kind of visualisation [...]

SASA 2012 Presentations Available
You’ll no doubt recall my rough notes from the 2012 South African Society of Anaesthesiologists Congress last month, which were surprising well recieved. The good news for those that wanted more detail and info from the sessions I missed is that most of the presentations are now available in PDF format on the conference web [...]
SASA Congress 2012 – Full set of rough notes
By request of a few folks and for the sake of convenience, I’ve packaged all my notes from the refresher and congress into one bundle. The usual disclaimers apply. SASA Congress 2012 – Ross’ Rough Notes – Full Set
2012 SA Society of Anaesthesiologists Conference – Day 3
That’s all, folks… the 2012 SASA Congress is over. Great gala dinner last night as well: I found myself getting jiggy on the dancefloor with people who I’ve read in the Lancet/A&A/NEJM/etc. Makes you remember that we’re all people at the end of the day, and just about all of us share in the love [...]
2012 SA Society of Anaesthesiologists Conference – Day 2
The penultimate day is done. How time flies when you’re having fun. Tonight is the gala dinner, which should be entertaining, if only to see everyone in their frippery and finery Here are my rough notes for today – please feel free to share. The usual disclaimers regarding accuracy and typographical errors apply. SASA Congress [...]
2012 SA Society of Anaesthesiologists Conference – Day 1
First day of the Congress proper today (last two ays were the refresher course). I barely took any notes, as I was tied up presenting in the morning and then playing… uh, learning at the airway workshops all afternoon. I did manage to attend two talks in the haemodynamics stream, for which my rough notes [...]
2012 SA Society of Anaesthesiologists Conference – Refresher Course Day 2
A shorter day today, and so fewer notes. I also blame the fact that I was on call last night (paeds anaesthesia) a barely managed a nap from six to seven this morning before hitting the Congress, so please forgive brevity and errors. There was a parallel anaesthesia nursing stream as well as private practice [...]
2012 SA Society of Anaesthesiologists Conference – Refresher Course Day 1
Trying to remain true to my form of keeping real-time notes from conferences, I was ready today with laptop on my knees for the first day of the SASA 2012 pre-congress anaesthesia refresher course. See the congress web-page for details of the program, speakers, etc. SASA Congress 2012 – Ross’ Rough Notes – Refresher Day [...]
2011 EMSSA Emergency Medicine in the Developing World Congress
…just finished in Cape Town today. I was fortunate to present on the pre-conference airway course, and then attend the rest for the last 3 day. The full collection of presentations will be made available later on freeemergencytalks.net, but in the meantime, click here to download my rough notes (PDF): EMSSA 2011 – Very Rough [...]
