NAP7 - the HEADLINES (not @TheSun version) with @jas_soar...
-10,746 anaesthetists taking part in the baseline survey
-24,172 activity survey cases over 4 days
-881 peri-operative cardiac arrests over 1 year
-2.71 million anaesthetic workload cases per year (3 million pre-COVID)
-age, obesity and comorbidity all increasing. No such thing as an easy list in 2023!
-1 in 18 cases of potentially serious complications which were nearly always rescued by skilled anaesthetists
-1 in 3000 cases of of peri-operative cardiac arrest
-causes include : major haemorrhage > bradycardia > cardiac ischemia
-complications and cardiac arrests more common at extremes of age, operations out of hours and in higher risk patients having non-elective surgery
-factors responsible include: patient factors in 82% > anaesthesia in 40% > surgery in 35%
-cardiac, cardiology and vascular surgery are high risk specialties
-59% alive at the time of reporting. This is much higher than other arrest aetiologies
-when anaesthetists experience a cardiac arrest, it impacts their ability to deliver future care in 1 in 20
-recommendations (before/during/after surgery) given throughout the report to improve care for patients and conditions for staff
-these data are reassuring for patients!
