Why is obstetric haemorrhage under-recognised & under-treated?

➡️relative preservation of haemodynamic vital signs during the early stages of bleeding

➡️estimate of blood loss unavailable until the end of the operation

Outcomes after surgery for children in Africa (ASOS-Paeds): a 14-day prospective observational cohort study hubs.li/Q02sQTxw0

Honoured to have UniversityWorldNews share my reflections on the strengths of African-based medical education from a recent LSE Higher Education Blog universityworldnews.com/post.php?story…

What’s the leading cause of death in each country?

Our Data Insight today — by my colleagues Saloni and Fiona Spooner — answers the question.

Wow. So nice. Thank you

Congratulations Jessica. Incredible work.

This trial of ~20,000 patients from 20 North American sites was a labour of love. Our success in answering this important question is a testament to the dedication of cardiac anesthesiologists from all participating centres to set aside their personal beliefs to support science.

There were no patient-reported cases of intraoperative awareness in either arm. Given the lack of signal of arm and possible benefit, restricting intraoperative benzodiazepines should be considered!

The results of B-Free are out! What's the bottom line? In ITT restricting intraoperative benzodiazepines did not (by a hair) reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium (aOR 0.92; 95% CI 0.84-1.01; P=0.07). HOWEVER...

Congratulations Jessica
