Hmmm. As an anesthetist & someone born in this country, to parents who weren’t, I would *love* the chance to explore this idea with you @RoryStewartUK.
The optimal anaesthetic strategy for endovascular therapy (#EVT) in acute ischaemic #stroke remains debated. In 734 patients undergoing EVT under a standardised GA protocol with early extubation, 18% had anaesthesia-related complications

#Epidural haematoma is a rare but significant complication of #neuraxial anaesthesia, but Amoroso et al show that the incidence is low in this retrospective analysis of 96,103 cases.

71% of non-tertiary hospital responders reported difficulty maintaining paediatric skills, and 50% had concerns about their confidence (APAGBI 2024). Read this review article by Macrow et al. to help close that gap. 📊 #BJAEd
