The April issue contains lots of excellent clinically-orientated papers and this month, Associate Editor Dr Nicolai Bang Foss has chosen three that caught his eye.
The first is a comparison of a new intravenous agent remimazolam vs. propofol for TIVA and we talk about depth of anaesthesia, hypotension and everything inbeteeen. The second is a new PQIP study modelling postoperative complications and their prediction. Finally, we talk about a standalone editorial on neuromuscular blockade and the gap between what we known and what we do.

There have been few large-scale, prospective cohort studies focusing on postoperative cardiovascular complications and their impact on postoperative mortality.
This international prospective cohort study aimed to define the incidence and timing of these complications and to investigate their impact on 30-day all-cause mortality. The authors performed a prospective, international cohort study between January 2022 and May 2022. Data were collected on consecutive patients undergoing major abdominal surgery in 446 hospitals from 28 countries across Europe.
The results are of clinical relevance to all who care for patients in the peri-operative period.

NAP7 – Epidemiology, clinical features, management and outcomes
Thursday Nov 23, 2023

The third instalment of our NAP7 podcast series discusses the main results papers from the project. The first paper reports on epidemiology and clinical features of peri-operative cardiac arrests and the second on management and outcomes.

Complications and critical incidents arising during anaesthesia due to patient, surgical or anaesthetic factors, may cause harm themselves or progress to more severe events, including cardiac arrest or death. As part of the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, the authors studied a prospective national cohort of unselected patients. Anaesthetists recorded anonymous details of all cases undertaken over 4 days at their site through an online survey. This new podcast discusses the results and their implications.

NAP7 – Baseline Survey
Thursday Nov 09, 2023
Thursday Nov 09, 2023
There are two papers we are discussing today and they are the first in a series of results from probably the most important piece of peri-operative research from 2023 – NAP7!
The first paper reports results from the local coordinator baseline survey. The second paper then looks at preparedness for and experiences of peri-operative cardiac arrest. The papers are rich with data and this interview aims to pick out key findings and discuss some of the associated clinical implications.

Today we are going to be talking about the December 2023 issue, which is online today! This issue is really exciting because it is the first to contain papers reporting results from NAP7. This will all be dealt with separately, so instead we are going to focus on other papers in the issue. And there is a lot to choose from: prehabilitation; pain assessment; dexmedetomidine; and dexamethasone.
Joining us today all the way from Sheffield is one of our Journal Fellows Dr Paul Bramley. Here are the papers:
Potential for using simulated altitude as a means of prehabilitation: a physiology study
