Shared decision-making in anaesthesia is critical but how often are GA options discussed with patients? Nearly 80% of clinicians reported routinely not doing so, yet 63% of patients felt they were offered a choice #OpenAccess www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(25)00...

Higher intake of caffeinated coffee or tea was associated with a lower risk of #dementia and modestly improved #cognitive function, with maximal benefit seen at moderate consumption levels.

Dr Williams at the lectern, in front of her title slide.
Next up at today's @assocanaes.bsky.social #WSM2026 is SIVA's own Dr Susan Williams, speaking about processed EEG and post-operative neurological outcomes.
Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication of anaesthesia, with morbidity and mortality consequences.
...Also no link between eggs/soy/nut allergy and propofol.
Useful take-home message in the first 15 seconds of the allergy talk at #WSM2026.
Food allergies rarely overlap with drug allergies to anaesthetic drugs. In particular, there is no need to avoid propofol in patients with allergy to eggs, soy or nuts.
The #NAP8 team discuss why they chose to focus on #regionalanaesthesia (and other) complications and the potential #challenges that lie ahead for the project

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
Curious about the carbon footprint of individual items used in total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and sevoflurane anaesthesia?
Here's some helpful info!

Carbon footprint of modelled general anaesthetic scenarios over the first 6 hours of general anaesthesia, including all consumable items and drugs unique to the anaesthetic technique.

#TIVA has demonstrated a favourable carbon footprint profile compared to inhalational anaesthetic techniques, but encouraging a global shift to #TIVA comes with financial, training and supply considerations

25% of UK anaesthetics use #TIVA. Optimal delivery method - #TCI vs manual TIVA - is unclear. TCI had less post-op cognitive dysfunction, #PONV and lower pain scores but similar cost vs inhalational anaesthesia
