Pain after lower limb amputation Limb amputation results in profound physical, psychological and social effects for individuals with consequent societal and healthcare costs. In the UK, the commonest indications for lower limb…

📉 Mortality after major lower limb amputation remains high. Reported 30-day mortality was 8.4% for transfemoral amputation and 4.4% for transtibial amputation. Pain management is only one issue, but it is a critical one.

Management of phaeochromocytoma in pregnancy Phaeochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumours of the adrenal medulla that secrete catecholamines, which, when released into the bloodstream, typically cause paroxysmal symptoms of headache,…

🩺 Modern management has transformed outcomes. Perioperative mortality for phaeochromocytoma resection has fallen from >25% historically to <1%, with morbidity around 5%, thanks to α-blockade and better haemodynamic control.

Anaesthesia for children with cervical spine anomalies Craniocervical anomalies in children are unusual but may occur in the context of a range of congenital and acquired disorders. Children with such disorders, not infrequently, require anaesthesia for…

🤝 In children with c-spine abnormalities, best care is multidisciplinary: neurosurgery, orthopaedics, anaesthesia, radiology, physiotherapy and often medical teams too.

🩺 A key perioperative message: pre-existing pain matters. Longer duration and greater intensity of pain before amputation are associated with more severe postoperative pain and higher risk of chronic pain after amputation.
