Before today's tip we have a question from one of our visitor

Q; Can you please provide the reference to time constraint of 6 to 12 hours, described in your pearl regarding propofol use on feb. 17, 2007 ?

Is oxygen supply intact ?

This sounds silly but often when patient starts acutely desaturating, it is the oxygen supply which is disconnected from wall. Anedoctal experiences showed that this is a common scenario while BiPAP gets applied. Often, oxygen supply gets forgetten at oxygen port or frequently gets disconnected with patient movement. Check if oxygen supply is off or lying on the floor!
