6. Management was good in 76% of cases, but elements of poor care before cardiac arrest identified in 32% of cases.

Areas of potential improvement include:

🔹Preoperative risk scoring
🔹Monitoring
🔹Drug choice & dosing
🔹Anaesthetising high risk patients in the operating room

5. Key causes included the patient’s underlying illness/health in 82% of cases, anaesthesia in 40% & surgery in 35%. 31% of fatalities were judged to be due to an inexorable process.

A senior anaesthetist was present in 97% of cases and a consultant in 75% of night-time cases.

4. The most common causes of perioperative cardiac arrest:

🔹Major haemorrhage (17%)
🔹Bradyarrhythmia (9.4%)
🔹Cardiac ischaemia (7.3%)

But causes varied significantly by surgical specialty. Anaphylaxis was over-estimated as a cause.

3. Cardiac arrest in elective ASA 1-2 patients was very low at <1 in 10,000 and deaths <1 in 100,000.

75% of patients survived the initial cardiac arrest, higher than other in-hospital cardiac arrests. 88% of those discharged from hospital had a good functional outcome.

A huge THANK YOU to:

🔹Everyone who completed the baseline survey
🔹Our local coordinators & collaborators
🔹Our steering panel & patient reps
🔹And of course the #NAP7 team Jasmeet Soar Tim Cook Richard Armstrong Andrew Kane Emira Kuršumović Dr Fi Oglesby

7. Almost half of anaesthetists had recent experience of perioperative cardiac arrest and 4.5% reported an impact on their subsequent ability to deliver patient care.

These are just a few of the headlines. There is much, much more in the report, including 20 top recommendations.

📢 #NAP7 is out today!🧵

🔹In-depth assessment of incidence, management & outcomes of perioperative cardiac arrest - 881 cases

🔹Snapshot of anaesthetic activity in the UK

🔹Anaesthetists’ experiences of perioperative cardiac arrest
