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.
