This applies in particular to cardiology patients receiving anaesthetic care, because numbers, types and complexity of minimally invasive interventional procedures requiring planned and unplanned anaesthesia in the cardiac intervention suite is increasing.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analysed collected data to determine the epidemiology, clinical features, management and outcomes of peri-operative cardiac arrest in adult patients receiving anaesthetic care for cardiology procedures.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There were 54 reports of peri-operative cardiac arrest in adult patients receiving anaesthetic care for cardiology procedures, accounting for 54/881 (6.1%) of all reports to NAP7. The estimated incidence (95%CI) of cardiac arrests in this group was 1/450 or 0.22 (0.17-0.29)%. These patients were older than other adult patients in the NAP7 population, with a notably high proportion of patients of Asian ethnicity when compared with the remaining NAP7 cohort (9/54, 17% vs. 35/709, 5%). Rates of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cardiopulmonary resuscitation were low (3/53, 6%). A common theme was that of logistical issues and teamworking, with reporters commenting on the difficulties of remote and/or unfamiliar locations and communication issues between specialties, on occasion resulting in poor teamworking and a lack of focus. The NAP7 panel review identified several other common themes which included: cardiogenic shock; late involvement of anaesthesia in the case; and transcatheter aortic valve implantation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Cardiology procedures requiring anaesthesia care account for < 1% of anaesthesia activity but generate 6% of all peri-operative cardiac arrests. The incidence of cardiac arrest was disproportionately high in cardiological procedures requiring anaesthetic care. The nature of the cardiac arrest reports to NAP7 indicate that logistical and human factors in multidisciplinary teams in the cardiac intervention suite merit addressing to improve care.</p>","PeriodicalId":7742,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142035024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the features of problematic trials and effect of editorial selection on these issues have not been well quantified.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analysed 209 randomised controlled trials submitted to Anaesthesia between 8 March 2019 and 31 March 2020. We evaluated the submitted manuscript, registry data and the results of investigations into the integrity of the trial undertaken at the time of submission. Trials were labelled 'concerning' if failures of research integrity were found, and 'problematic' if identified issues would have warranted retraction if they had been found after publication. We investigated how 'problematic' trials were detected, the distribution of p values and the risk of outcome reporting bias and p-hacking. We also investigated whether there were any factors that differed in problematic trials.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We found that false data was the most common reason for a trial to be labelled as 'concerning', which occurred in 51/62 (82%) cases. We also found that while 195/209 (93%) trials were preregistered, we found adequate registration for only 166/209 (79%) primary outcomes, 100/209 (48%) secondary outcomes and 11/209 (5%) analysis plans.
