PQIP recruitment target countdown 💫

After 10 years of improving perioperative care across the UK, PQIP is close to reaching its goal of 70,000 patients. Just 1,300 patients left! We're nearing a major milestone.

Thanks to all sites—keep recruiting and submitting data!

Today for #SASWeek2026 we’re focusing on the importance of advocacy, wellbeing and support.

Our SAS and LE doctors are distinct groups that play an essential role in delivering care to patients.

Healthcare workers cannot access records out of curiosity or personal interest.

Viewing health records without legitimate professional reason represents a breach of trust and information governance.

But what about legitimate educational follow-up?

Beyond survival: understanding postoperative disability in peri-operative care

"...disability has emerged as an important outcome that may better reflect the lived experience of patients after surgery compared with conventional endpoints alone."

In this editorial, Imran Ahmad & @doctimcook.bsky.social consider the PUMA tracheal extubation guidelines and ask - towards clarity or complexity?

Is it possible for a single, universal guideline to be applied globally?

There is a dissociation between visualisation of the glottis/a good POGO score and tracheal tube delivery.

This table shows the distribution of tracheal tube delivery according to percentage of glottic opening (POGO), based on airway operator assessments.

The ease of tracheal intubation with videolaryngoscopy cannot be inferred from glottic view alone.

A structured approach that incorporates what was used, what was seen and what was done may improve communication in clinical practice.

Impressively large left atrium (possibly the largest I have seen) and an equally abnormal mitral valve, with an apically displaced posterior leaflet and rheumatic-type appearances.

Today, our Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) launched the UK's first national guideline to improve care of people with Parkinson's before, during and after surgery.

Much appreciation to all stakeholders involved.

What is the role of outcome feedback as a source of clinical learning?

Of patient follow-up in reflective practice and clinician wellbeing?

Is its interpretation fully aligned with existing professional expectations that doctors learn from clinical outcomes?

Classifying mask ventilation: current evidence supports the MASCAN score, not capnography

Measuring mask ventilation: capnography is better

"Finally, the MASCAN model omits capnography. This standard monitor provides objective and specific evidence of airway patency and alveolar ventilation in real time."

Have you heard of Anaestreesia?

It's a freely available, downloadable web application that estimates the carbon footprint of volatile anaesthesia and TIVA using published methodologies and contemporary life-cycle assessment data.

Time to ask a different question: setting new goals for oncoanaesthesia

What should the new goals be?
• facilitating postoperative return to intended oncologic treatment
• optimising surgical conditions
• prehabilitation
