Perioperative patient safety and post-operative ward monitoring is an important topic. Could continuous monitoring potentially improve patient outcomes and reduce rapid response team activations? Can 24/7 monitoring for high-risk patients provide meaningful data and improve patient safety? With a focus upon “meaningful”, how do we avoid alarm fatigue? Where is the research and what do the data tell us?

Patient monitoring has made some significant strides forward over the last decade. Nowadays most people are familiar with the idea. Where are we now with this essential aspect of healthcare? How far should we take the commitment to monitoring a patient? What about “wearable” technology both inside and outside the institution? Desiree Chappell speaks with Meera Joshi, Specialist registrar at Ashford and St Peter's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and clinical research fellow in the department of surgery cancer at Imperial College London.

Providing a safer environment for anaesthesia in areas such as radiology, cardiac catheterisation and endoscopy is an increasing need as the demand for these services is growing in the immediate post pandemic era. These locations are often remote from main theatres and require experienced specialist staff from different fields to deliver care. Some of these areas do not have equipment that may be readily available in the theatres such as fully-fledged anaesthetic machines, high quality airway equipment etc. Anaesthesia in these areas is fraught with risks and this is well recognised by safety in anaesthesia groups across the world. Much teaching and training has gone into delivering safe anaesthesia in these environments. This podcast series on NORA, looks at practices across the world and shares expertise on how one can deliver high quality care in these areas and at the same time improve safety. In this second part, Dr Emily Methangkool, MD will give an insight into how health centers may bring changes to their non-operating room environments to deliver safer anaesthesia.
