Peri-op cardiac arrest - how can we do better?
• team briefings
• in situ multidisciplinary simulation
• teaching generic cardiac arrest team competencies
• mandatory training for rare anaesthetic events

The rate of peri-op cardiac arrest is strongly associated with a country's human development index (based on per capita income, literacy, life expectancy & enrolment in further education).
This presumably reflects more highly developed healthcare systems in high-HDI countries and the associated health of the patients.

I work for the #NHS but don’t often have call to use it. #Tonight was a little different.
It involved three blue light transfers and several hours in #Resus.
I have never ever received such a timely and responsive service before, but when I needed it, it was there.
#Today is #Day241 of #365HappyDays and whilst my medical emergency is no reason to be #happy, the care and treatment I received most certainly is. I’m extraordinarily #grateful.
Don’t let the Tories destroy it. Please. #GTTO
Coming soon!
