Overview:

The topic of this weeks Thursday lunchtime meeting is talking about ‘Heart stopping moments in the operating theatre’ and is presented by Dr Andrew Kane.


‘When general anaesthetics were discovered and first used in humans in 1846, the potential applications were obvious- to allow operations free from pain and memory, but it was far from perfect with many patients dying due to the anaesthetic itself. Getting on for 200 years later much has improved, but many patients fear cardiac arrest and death under anaesthetic, and sadly, this does still happen.

Andrew will tell us about the work he has been doing with the Royal College of Anaesthetists to understand the causes and consequences of cardiac arrest during anaesthesia and how this may make having an anaesthetic safer in the future.’
