In major non-cardiac surgery patients, intraoperative hypotension initially appeared associated with post-op delirium, but not after accounting for temporal advances in perioperative care and fewer hypotensive episodes #OpenAccess www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(25)00...
Perioperative pathways increasingly incorporate #MDT perspectives and shared decision-making in complex patients. Optimal organisation of this approach and its patient and system impact necessitate further study #OpenAccess

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to multimorbidity and chronic pain, possibly through altered sensory processing. Assessing sensory processing in relation to ACEs appears feasible and acceptable #OpenAccess

Do patients post-operatively recall pain from #propofol injection? After non-cardiac surgery, female sex was associated with pain recall but catheter characteristics, lidocaine use and observed nociceptive reactions were not #OpenAccess www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(26)00...
Diagnosing early post-op infection in cardiac patients is complicated by post-op inflammation. #Procalcitonin did not meet clinically important diagnostic thresholds but #IL-6 did, warranting further study #OpenAccess

Early #frailty identification facilitates perioperative care planning. Patients self-assessed frailty using a modified #Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale and moderate agreement was found with blinded clinician assessment #OpenAccess www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(26)00...
Head-mounted device-based augmented or virtual reality could enhance anaesthetic training with promising initial results. However, robust trials are needed before they can replace current simulation tools #OpenAccess #VR www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(26)00...

#Frailty increases perioperative risk after cardiac surgery. Exercise-based #prehabilitation had little to no effect on long-term time spent at home but may confer a modest survival benefit in this group #PREQUEL #OpenAccess www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(26)00...
Could the air children breathe before surgery shape what happens during #anaesthesia? Higher preoperative #ozone exposure was associated with increased respiratory adverse events in #paediatric patients.

In #LSCS under GA, higher maternal volatile exposure was associated with lower 5-min #Apgar scores. However, this association attenuated after adjustment for maternal hypotension, suggesting MAP may be the key driver
