📢#NAP7 is out today!🧵 🔹In-depth assessment of incidence, management & outcomes of perioperative cardiac arrest - 881 cases 🔹Snapshot of anaesthetic activity in the UK 🔹Anaesthetists’ experiences of perioperative cardiac arrest Report👉rcoa.ac.uk/nap7-report @doctimcook

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

The POPPY study is a great opportunity for the anaesthetists to be involved in the 4th RAFT trainee lead project, & the first large UK national project looking at pain & opiate use after day surgery. -find our more via your local research group or RAFT anaesthesiaresearch.org/single-post/ra…

Welcome to three new hospitals from @AARMYorks to @thePOPPYstudy which now includes 145 sites! There is still time to register and join the fun!
