Most children with an anorectal malformation will need surgery in the first few days of life, followed by repeated surgical interventions during infancy. 👶 O. Duffy et al. #BJAEd #PaediatricAnaesthesia www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

One practical idea: strengthening the daily light cycle in hospital may help improve patients' sleep and recovery. Melatonin and dexmedetomidine feature too. G. Warman et al. 💡 #BJAEd #PeriopMed www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

Prognostication in severe TBI is uncertain and dynamic, and should not rely on single variables. M.P. Plummer et al. outline an approach to it. 🧠 #BJAEd #NeuroCritCare www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

Key components of anaesthesia for bronchoscopy: topicalisation of the airway, sedation and high-flow nasal oxygenation. B. Stretch et al. explore them in BJA Education. 🩺 #BJAEd #Bronchoscopy www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

⏰ Stroke thrombectomy: potential treatment windows now extended up to 24 h in select patient groups. M. Elwishi et al. on the evidence base and the anaesthetist's role. #BJAEd #Neuroanaesthesia www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

Perioperative multidisciplinary planning is essential for children with anorectal malformations. Associated anomalies often need thorough preoperative evaluation. Start here. 📋 O. Duffy et al. #BJAEd #PaediatricAnaesthesia www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

Does time of day change how anaesthetic drugs act? And do those drugs disrupt patients' circadian clock and sleep? G. Warman et al. explain. 🕐 #BJAEd #PeriopMed www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

Do fixed ICP and CPP thresholds suit every patient with TBI? M.P. Plummer et al. explain more in #BJAEd. 🧠 #NeuroCritCare www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

How can anaesthetic technique affect the success of a diagnostic bronchoscopy? B. Stretch et al. explain the cough reflex and why inhibiting it matters. 🫁 #BJAEd #Bronchoscopy www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

🎯 Targeting blood pressure and carbon dioxide tension optimises cerebral perfusion for patients undergoing stroke thrombectomy. Which values to aim for? M. Elwishi et al. set them out. #BJAEd #Neuroanaesthesia www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

This excellent new #BJAEd article by Elwishi & colleagues, on Anaesthesia for Stroke Thrombectomy is available to read now: www.bjaed.org/article/S205...

🧠 GA or conscious sedation for stroke thrombectomy: does the choice change functional outcomes? M. Elwishi et al. on choosing a technique. #BJAEd #Neuroanaesthesia #Stroke www.bjaed.org/article/S205...
