Dr Sarah Bell talking about her experiences in obstetric anaesthesia research, including the excellent support she's had through the POMCTN Research Leaders scheme 👍

📢#NAP7 is out today!🧵 🔹In-depth assessment of incidence, management & outcomes of perioperative cardiac arrest - 881 cases 🔹Snapshot of anaesthetic activity in the UK 🔹Anaesthetists’ experiences of perioperative cardiac arrest Report👉rcoa.ac.uk/nap7-report Tim Cook

3. Cardiac arrest in elective ASA 1-2 patients was very low at <1 in 10,000 and deaths <1 in 100,000. 75% of patients survived the initial cardiac arrest, higher than other in-hospital cardiac arrests. 88% of those discharged from hospital had a good functional outcome.

4. The most common causes of perioperative cardiac arrest: 🔹Major haemorrhage (17%) 🔹Bradyarrhythmia (9.4%) 🔹Cardiac ischaemia (7.3%) But causes varied significantly by surgical specialty. Anaphylaxis was over-estimated as a cause.

5. Key causes included the patient’s underlying illness/health in 82% of cases, anaesthesia in 40% & surgery in 35%. 31% of fatalities were judged to be due to an inexorable process. A senior anaesthetist was present in 97% of cases and a consultant in 75% of night-time cases.

6. Management was good in 76% of cases, but elements of poor care before cardiac arrest identified in 32% of cases. Areas of potential improvement include: 🔹Preoperative risk scoring 🔹Monitoring 🔹Drug choice & dosing 🔹Anaesthetising high risk patients in the operating room

7. Almost half of anaesthetists had recent experience of perioperative cardiac arrest and 4.5% reported an impact on their subsequent ability to deliver patient care. These are just a few of the headlines. There is much, much more in the report, including 20 top recommendations.

A huge THANK YOU to: 🔹Everyone who completed the baseline survey 🔹Our local coordinators & collaborators 🔹Our steering panel & patient reps 🔹And of course the #NAP7 team Jasmeet Soar Tim Cook Richard Armstrong Andrew Kane Emira Kuršumović Dr Fi Oglesby More on NAP7👉rcoa.ac.uk/nap7-report
