Methods of the 7th National Audit Project (NAP7) of the Royal College of Anaesthetists: peri-operative cardiac arrest

The impact of COVID-19 on anaesthesia and critical care services in the UK: a serial service evaluation

E. Kursumovic et al.

Summary: The surveys conducted between October 2020 and January 2021 in the UK revealed significant impacts on anaesthetic, surgical, and critical care services during the COVID-19 pandemic, with reduced surgical activity, some operating theatres closing, and staff shortages being the major limitations. The findings may underestimate the true impact, highlighting the importance of understanding what occurred during the pandemic, planning recovery, and building a system that can better respond to future waves or new epidemics.

The rate by which mortality increase with age is the same for those who experienced chronic disease as for the general population

Marcus Ebeling et al.

Summary: The study found that the onset of severe chronic diseases does not alter the rate-of-ageing, despite having some impact in the initial stages, the rate returns to normal afterwards. Diseases have a certain effect on long-term mortality levels, but eventually return to the levels in the total population.

Anesthesia and Long-term Oncological Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Chun-Yu Chang et al.

Summary: The study suggests that patients undergoing cancer surgery with propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have better overall survival compared to those receiving volatile anesthesia. However, there was no significant difference in recurrence-free survival between the two anesthesia techniques. Further randomized control trials are needed to confirm these findings.
