Trending extinctions: online interest in recently extinct animals
1 Introduction Biodiversity loss is a pressing global issue, with over 42 100 species documented as threatened (IUCN, 2022).

Cardiac arrest in vascular surgical patients receiving anaesthetic care: an analysis from the 7th National Audit Project (NAP7) of the Royal College of Anaesthetists
Introduction Peri-operative cardiac arrest was chosen as the subject of the 7th National Audit Project (NAP7) of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA), because of existing knowledge gaps and limitations in understanding this important topic [1]. Patients requiring vascular surgery tend to be older with a high burden of medical comorbidities such as cardiovascular, renal and respiratory disease [2, 3]. Furthermore, a significant proportion of vascular surgery is urgent and time critical.
Airway and respiratory complications during anaesthesia and associated with peri‐operative cardiac arrest as reported to the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists
Introduction The 4th National Audit Project (NAP4) of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Difficult Airway Society was the largest prospective study of complications of airway management to date [1]. Its findings underpinned much of our understanding of the complications of airway management and shaped current airway management guidance [2, 3]. The project studied high-severity complications, including death, over a year in the UK.
Peri‐operative decisions about cardiopulmonary resuscitation among adults as reported to the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists
Introduction As emergency care and treatment plans are being adopted widely across the UK and many other countries [1, 2], increasing numbers of patients undergoing surgical procedures are likely to have plans in place in the event of their health deteriorating. Decisions relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are a primary component of such treatment plans.
Peri‐operative cardiac arrest: management and outcomes of patients analysed in the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists
Introduction The 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (NAP7) studied peri-operative cardiac arrest, a serious complication of anaesthesia. The 12-month case registry phase of the project collected and reviewed cases of peri-operative cardiac arrest. The epidemiology and clinical features of these cases are described in an accompanying paper [1].
Peri‐operative cardiac arrest: epidemiology and clinical features of patients analysed in the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists
Introduction Peri-operative cardiac arrest is a complication feared by patients, anaesthetists and surgeons [1]. Recent estimates put the incidence of cardiac arrest in the peri-operative period at 2–13 per 10,000 anaesthetics, with 32–75% of patients dying before discharge from hospital [2-7]. Variability may be due to case-mix and complexity, reporting methods and healthcare setting.
Downsized: gray whales using an alternative foraging ground have smaller morphology
Morphological traits (i.e. body size and proportions) are fundamental mechanisms for adaptive radiation and speciation [1,2]. Individual growth rates are susceptible to environmental variability and predation risk, which can influence life-history traits, such as size or age at maturity, reproductive potential, and resilience to resource limitations [3–6].
Patient characteristics, anaesthetic workload and techniques in the UK: an analysis from the 7th National Audit Project (NAP7) activity survey
Original Article This article is accompanied by an editorial by J. J. Pandit, Anaesthesia 2023; 78: 677–683. Summary Detailed contemporary knowledge of the characteristics of the surgical population, national anaesthetic workload, anaesthetic techniques and behaviours are essential to monitor productivity, inform policy and direct research themes.
The impact of COVID‐19 on anaesthesia and critical care services in the UK: a serial service evaluation*
Introduction During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been considerable focus on the escalation of critical care capacity, capability and delivery. In many UK hospitals, critical care and anaesthesia departments work together and share staff. The expansion of critical care capability has inevitably led to redeployment of staff, space, equipment and drugs intended for anaesthesia and peri-operative care [1, 2].
The 7th UK National Audit Project (NAP7). The challenges of defining, studying and learning from peri‐operative cardiac arrest
Peri-operative cardiac arrest is not new – with the discovery of general anaesthesia came the issue of cardiac arrest during anaesthesia. In 1848, Hannah Greener, a 15-year-old girl from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne having her toenail removed, was the first patient reported to have a cardiac arrest and die during general anaesthesia [1].
Outcomes from intensive care in patients with COVID‐19: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of observational studies
Summary The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has led to high demand for intensive care services worldwide. However, the mortality of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID‐19 is unclear. Here, we perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis, in line with PRISMA guidelines, to assess the reported ICU mortality for patients with confirmed COVID‐19.
Mortality in patients admitted to intensive care with COVID‐19: an updated systematic review and meta‐analysis of observational studies
Summary The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause critical illness and deaths internationally. Up to 31 May 2020, mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) with COVID-19 was 41.6%. Since then, changes in therapeutics and management may have improved outcomes. Also, data from countries affected later in the pandemic are now available.
