- Non-operating theatre emergency tracheal intubation: a UK multicentre prospective observational study of rapid sequence induction drugs and adverse events. [Journal Article]Anaesthesia. 2026 Jul 29. [Online ahead of print]A
- CONCLUSIONS: Patients who required tracheal intubation outside operating theatres experienced high rates of post-induction hypotension. Propofol was the most used induction drug, often at doses typical for elective anaesthesia. Pre-emptive vasopressor use was inconsistent. These practices deviate from existing guidelines and represent a modifiable risk factor for adverse events. We recommend standardised protocols for tracheal intubation outside operating theatres, including guidance on induction drug selection, dose and pre-emptive vasopressor use.

- Measuring patient disability in the peri-operative period using the WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire: a systematic review. [Review]Anaesthesia. 2026 Jul 24. [Online ahead of print]A
- CONCLUSIONS: The effect of surgical procedures on postoperative disability as measured by WHODAS 2.0 is influenced by the type of surgery. Orthopaedic surgery may decrease disability, whereas cancer surgery may be associated with persistent increases. Standardised reporting of disability endpoints is needed to enhance the quality and comparability of future studies using WHODAS 2.0.

- Postoperative anaemia and long-term survival following cardiac surgery: a multicentre, retrospective, observational study. [Journal Article]Anaesthesia. 2026 Jul 21. [Online ahead of print]A
- CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative anaemia showed a weak independent association with long-term mortality, in contrast to the clear dose-response relationship observed for pre-operative anaemia. The near-universal prevalence of postoperative anaemia and incomplete haemoglobin recovery at 1 year support further trials of peri-operative anaemia management.
