Shared decision-making in anaesthesia is critical but how often are GA options discussed with patients? Nearly 80% of clinicians reported routinely not doing so, yet 63% of patients felt they were offered a choice #OpenAccess www.bjaopen.org/article/S2772-6096(…

Higher intake of caffeinated coffee or tea was associated with a lower risk of #dementia and modestly improved #cognitive function, with maximal benefit seen at moderate consumption levels. 🎥 Watch the video and read the full study: ja.ma/4bRDWmY

Next up at today's @assocanaes.bsky.social #WSM2026 is SIVA's own Dr Susan Williams, speaking about processed EEG and post-operative neurological outcomes. Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication of anaesthesia, with morbidity and mortality consequences.

Useful take-home message in the first 15 seconds of the allergy talk at #WSM2026. Food allergies rarely overlap with drug allergies to anaesthetic drugs. In particular, there is no need to avoid propofol in patients with allergy to eggs, soy or nuts.
...Also no link between eggs/soy/nut allergy and propofol.
