ALT At the Heart of the Matter: report and findings of the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists examining Perioperative cardiac arrest. Editors are Jasmeet Soar and Tim Cook with Richard Armstrong, Andrew Kane, Emira Kursumovic, Fiona Oglesby
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

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.
