    Abstract Supraglottic airway devices have increasingly been used in anaesthesia since their invention in 1982. Now over half of general anaesthetic cases in the UK use them, and they have vital roles in difficult airway algorithms, pre-hospital use and emergency medicine. This article presents the current evidence regarding the complications of these devices, and compares these devices and endotracheal intubation. The technology of the newer generation devices has improved the safety profile, and they may be considered a better choice than endotracheal tubes in some cases. There may be a case for using these devices in a wider range of surgical and non-surgical cases.

    Abstract Echocardiography is being increasingly deployed as a diagnostic and monitoring tool in the critically ill. This rise in popularity has led to its recommendation as a core competence in intensive care, with several training routes available. In the peri-arrest and cardiac arrest population, point of care focused echocardiography has the potential to transform patient care and improve outcomes. Be it via diagnosis of shock aetiology and reversibility or assessing response to treatment and prognostication. This narrative review discusses current and future applications of echocardiography in this patient group and provides a structure with which one can approach such patients.

    Abstract Aortic dissections are associated with significant mortality and morbidity, with rapid treatment paramount. They are caused by a tear in the intimal lining of the aorta that extends into the media of the wall. Blood flow through this tear leads to the formation of a false passage bordered by the inner and outer layers of the media. Their diagnosis is challenging, with most deaths caused by aortic dissection diagnosed at post-mortem. Aortic dissections are classified by location and chronicity, with management strategies depending on the nature of the dissection. The Stanford method splits aortic dissections into type A and B, with type A dissections involving the ascending aorta. De Bakey classifies dissections into I, II or III depending on their origin and involvement and degree of extension. The key to diagnosis is early suspicion, appropriate imaging and rapid initiation of treatment. Treatment focuses on initial resuscitation, transfer (if possible and required) to a suitable specialist centre, strict blood pressure and heart rate control and potentially surgical intervention depending on the type and complexity of the dissection. Effective post-operative care is extremely important, with awareness of potential post-operative complications and a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation approach required. In this review article we will discuss the aetiology and classifications of aortic dissection, their diagnosis and treatment principles relevant to critical care. Critical care clinicians play a key part in all these steps, from diagnosis through to post-operative care, and thus a thorough understanding is vital.

    Abstract In recent years, there has been a dramatic rise in the use of echocardiography in perioperative and critical care medicine. It is now recommended widely as a first-line diagnostic tool when approaching patients in shock, due to its ability to identify shock etiology and response to treatment noninvasively. To match the increasing training demand, and to ensure maintenance of high-quality and reproducible scanning, several accreditation pathways have been developed worldwide. Critical care echocardiography training pathways can include both transthoracic and transesophageal scanning and range from basic focused protocols to advanced comprehensive scans. The complexity of each individual training program is reflected in its accreditation process. While basic accreditations may require only course attendance and a relatively brief logbook, comprehensive accreditations often require extensive logbooks and written and practical examinations. Currently, the use of transoesophageal echocardiography remains restricted largely to cardiothoracic anesthesia and critical care; however, its use in the general intensive care setting is growing. This narrative review summarizes the most common training pathways, their curricula, and accreditation requirements. The authors initially focus on echocardiography training in the United Kingdom, and then go on to describe similar international accreditations available in Europe, North America, and Australasia.
