Does PEEP matter? "... individualised positive end-expiratory pressure ⬇️ driving pressures & improved intra-operative oxygenation but did not decrease the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery." #anaesthesia #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.7…

During caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia, maintaining maternal systolic BP > 90% of baseline, compared with > 80% of baseline, with boluses of noradrenaline reduces the incidence of neonatal acidaemia, maternal hypotension and nausea and vomiting. #anaesthesia #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.7…

There are multiple potential sources of nitrous oxide mix emissions and potential mitigations. Metal–organic frameworks could be used to capture exhaled nitrous oxide in the clinical environment. What are the implications of this technology? #anaesthesia #climate #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.7…

I was honored to received my @wfsaorg (World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists) pin from President-Elect Dr @HaylockLCaro this week, and I look forward to wearing it at the upcoming World Congress of Anaesthesiologists #WCA2026!

@NicholasChrimes @doctimcook This is a great shout. Very easy to do…

@doctimcook @STHJournalClub What I’d like to see is a study that validates gastric US findings against visualisation of gastric content at gastroscopy. Surely it’s been done? Would be very simple.

Hang on! 18% of fasted elective patients NOT taking semaglutide (with risk factors for delayed gastric emptying other than diabetes excluded) still had “full” (not empty) stomachs? This is no good.

Many thanks to @Assoc_Anaes for inviting me to participate in my first Winter Scientific Meeting in London #WSM2026 🙏🏽 The program and venue were fantastic! Look out for a new Core Topics article on Plan A blocks coming out this year in @Anaes_Journal! Next WSM: 14-15 Jan 2027

The estimated prevalence of chronic post-surgical pain was 7.2% - 1 in 14 patients! It was associated with: • week 1 pain scores • orthopaedic, breast & plastic surgery • non-surgical site chronic pain at baseline • deprivation • ethnicity #anaesthesia #pain #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.7…

Welcome to POPPY - the first large UK multicentre, prospective observational study exploring chronic post-surgical pain after day-case surgery. Read both papers here: 👉 doi.org/10.1111/anae.7… 👉 doi.org/10.1111/anae.7… #anaesthesia #pain #MedTwitter

@DrTimJen @Anaes_Journal General Anaesthesia has similar risks of nerve injury …we just don’t mention it

What do you all think? 🤔 Should regional anaesthesia be the default analgesia offered to patients?

Happy New Year from all of us at Anaesthesia! Thank you all for your contributions in 2025! We look forward to more wonderful papers, discussions and podcasts in 2026! #anaesthesia #MedTwitter
