Findings support universal frailty screening & more meaningful shared decision making. ow.ly/YWR350VZ4p7

The #SNAP3 audit gives insight into frailty & delirium in older surgical patients.
At #Anaesthesia2025 @claireswarbrick.bsky.social
highlights higher frailty = higher delirium risk. The solution? Routine frailty screening on patients over 60 before surgery.
A small step with big impact!

Good presentation by @claireswarbrick.bsky.social on delirium and anaesthesia, in my opinion probably the least understood and appreciated post-op complication, and one that as anaesthetists I think we can influence. #Anaesthesia2025

The anaesthetic national audit projects are some of the most powerful in the UK.
We have a sneak peek at #SNAP3, looking at our older surgical patients, their frailty and any delirium experienced.
