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.

Dr Williams at the lectern, in front of her title slide.

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.

...Also no link between eggs/soy/nut allergy and propofol.

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.

The #NAP8 team discuss why they chose to focus on #regionalanaesthesia (and other) complications and the potential #challenges that lie ahead for the project

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Curious about the carbon footprint of individual items used in total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and sevoflurane anaesthesia?

Here's some helpful info!

#TIVA has demonstrated a favourable carbon footprint profile compared to inhalational anaesthetic techniques, but encouraging a global shift to #TIVA comes with financial, training and supply considerations

25% of UK anaesthetics use #TIVA. Optimal delivery method - #TCI vs manual TIVA - is unclear. TCI had less post-op cognitive dysfunction, #PONV and lower pain scores but similar cost vs inhalational anaesthesia
