While #AI algorithms achieve high accuracy for STEMI identification on clean #ECGs, high noise signals in the perioperative environment limit their clinical use. Prospective real-world data is required to develop a mature algorithm.

How well does your #i-gel ® fit? New study shows current smallest i-gel® (size 1.0) is still too large for #neonates under 2200g. Low birth weight #infants may require smaller, tailored supraglottic airway devices #AnSky #anaesthesia

#SNAP-3, the UK’s largest perioperative study of older adults, shows #frailty—not #multimorbidity—is key to poor surgical outcomes. Findings support targeted, frailty-focused care.

Chemogenetic PV-cell silencing under 1% isoflurane: burst-suppression or covert spike-and-wave epilepsy? Aksenov et al. explain why wide-band #EEG & anti-absence tests are essential to differentiate between them.

#Hydroxocobalamin was associated with a significant reduction in short term #vasopressor requirements up to 24 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass in vasoplegic patients. Will this translate to improved clinical outcomes?

#SNAP-3 demonstrates patients of Clinical #Frailty Scale ≥4 are at higher risks of #delirium & perioperative complications. Future research should focus on identifying interventions that would improve outcomes in this group of patients.
