Anaesthetist and Geriatrician discuss management of co-morbidity... what is the patient’s priority @Atul_Gawande @AgeAnaesthesia #BGSAAA
Often undiagnosed significant problems...some of which can be optimised but all of which are important to recognise @AgeAnaesthesia #BGSAAA
Great slide from Judith Partridge demonstrating ongoing CGA throughout surgical pathway @AgeAnaesthesia #BGSAAA

Anaesthesia for geriatricians. Such a helpful and entertaining talk @IainMoppett bringing specialties together in our quest to make things better for our patients @AgeAnaesthesia #BGSAAA
An advanced care practitioner in the POPS service in Salford has been estimated to save £130,000 per year for the hospital.
They pay for themselves and then some!

Some major differences in support available for older surgical patients in elective vs acute settings - harder to make decision whether to operate or not.
More work to be done!

Surgical training curriculum lacks reference to older adults and surgery in complex Geriatric patients.
Geriatric medicine curriculum on the other hand, includes section on mngt of surgical patients.

Dr Tammy Ng presents great work on post-op #delirium training at @RoyalFreeNHS #BGSconf #AAAconf #BGSAAA @AgeAnaesthesia
Shared decision making: Doctors and patients should both feel the decision is shared, not just the doctor.
Ask patients what is important for them!

Recognising risk of delirium and doing our best to prevent and manage it is an essential part of perioperative medicine #BGSAAA @AgeAnaesthesia
Is post-op cognitive dysfunction a distinct condition from post-op delirium?
No consensus exists on definition for POCD.
@GeriSoc @AgeAnaesthesia #academicgeris #pops #bgsconf #BGSAAA #AAABGS
Next up: post-op cognitive issues.
The insult of surgery and other factors can lead to an environment of neurotoxicity.
@GeriSoc @AgeAnaesthesia #academicgeris #pops #bgsconf #BGSAAA #AAABGS
If recent major surgery (within 10 days), high risk of bleeding with thrombolysis.
Consider thrombectomy in these patients!
Some v promising results with thrombectomy in those ineligible for alteplase!

Key considerations for avoiding peri-operative stroke.
Most AF post op resolves spontaneously. American guidelines suggest anti coag for 30 days post recovery of sinus rhythm.
@GeriSoc @AgeAnaesthesia #academicgeris #pops #bgsconf #BGSAAA #AAABGS
The time to carotid endarterectomy post non-disabling stroke/TIA is key to its benefits. Ideally within 1 week!
After 3 months the benefit is completely lost.
@GeriSoc @AgeAnaesthesia #academicgeris #pops #bgsconf #BGSAAA #AAABGS
How to balance thrombotic and bleeding risk in surgical patients? - difficult
Typically stop clopidigrel 7 days before non cardiac surgery.
Anticoagulation varies depends on bleeding risk of op.
@GeriSoc @AgeAnaesthesia #academicgeris #pops #bgsconf #BGSAAA #AAABGS
If you have a stroke in a surgical context, mortality is significantly higher:
>25% !!!!
Lots of work to be done here.
