A fantastically succinct summary of my ramblings, but feeling truly humbled to have been part of such a comprehensive, challenging and important study, brilliantly helmed by @doctimcook & @jas_soar

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF PERIOPERATIVE CARDIAC ARREST #NSP7
Something I took from Emma’s talk about her own experience of perioperative cardiac arrest (which in her case was likely in the context of arrhythmia & relatively brief) was….
WHAT A LONG TAIL OF CONSEQUENCES IT HAD
-waking up confused & uncertain with chest pain from CPR & arm pain from an arterial line
-a slow recovery physically
-a psychological burden that persists
-an apparent psychological burden on the perioperative team
-a long period of further clinical care
*recovery from surgery that had to be truncated due to the arrest
*cardiology investigation & diagnosis followed by implantation of a defibrillator
*ongoing cardiology follow up
-the complexity & impact on others of communication after an unexpected cardiac arrest to family (which was done thoroughly & well)
For all patients who have a preoperative cardiac arrest, the experience & events will be different & perhaps unique
We were not able to follow up patients so we missed this narrative in #NAP7
Many thanks Emma.

The most important person in the NAPs
Emma Brennan a patient who experienced perioperative cardiac arrest speaking at the report launch

Many thanks Emma

The most important narrative is about the patient experience, spoken with the patient voice.
Emma Brennan suffered a peri-operative cardiac arrest, and her experiences frame the importance of these new #NAP7 data for patients and staff.

@richardosman LOVE (!) your books & just bought the latest for my holiday (took me whole 3dys to devour).
However, one line took me slightly by comedy surprise, as not sure it’ll age that well (from now 🫣🫢)

.@Marriott .@MarriottIntl whilst I’m a loyal bonvoy member, I was slightly alarmed by your promo email this week. With everything going on in this corner of the world, I’d question your promotion of a Black Sea destination. A little more sensitivity perhaps?
