🔓Emergency treatment of peri-operative anaphylaxis: Resuscitation Council UK algorithm for anaesthetists👇 @jas_soar @LouiseSavic @Assoc_Anaes @RCoANews @BSACI_Allergy @britsocimm @ResusCouncilUK 🔗associationofanaesthetists-p…

We now have much new data from #NAP7 on complications and risks associated with anaesthesia. @doctimcook asks, is it now time for a standardised, written anaesthetic consent form? Lots of views for and against in the room, what does @X think? @RCoANews @NAPs_RCoA @jas_soar

What did the #NAP7 activity survey show? @adk300 takes us through the data: -89% of cases occur during weekdays -only 4% of elective workload undertaken at the weekend -relative fewer patients at the extremes of age, who are usually higher risk -minimum monitoring standards from @Assoc_Anaes less well followed during procedural sedation and transfers to PACU/ICU -median age of surgical patients has increased by 2.3 years -rates of BMI >30 and >35 much higher in NAP7 than previous NAPs. More so in the obstetric population. -less patients are now ASA grade 1, with increases in numbers of ASA grade 2, 3 and 4 grade patients. -TIVA use has increased 3-fold in 5 years, and pEEG has increased too -circulation complications most prevalent > airway > breathing/metabolic -severe hypotension the most common complication (117 in 10,000), but complications more generally common in emergency cases -these data have enormous implications for what we can and what we should tell patients @RCoANews @NAPs_RCoA
