Anaesthesia for hip fracture repair: not if, not when, but how!
Dr Cliff Shelton, Consultant anaesthetist, Wythenshawe Hospital
Synopsis of lecture:
Hip fractures are a major public health concern - around 70,000 cases per year occur in England, they are the most common cause of trauma-related mortality, and they lead to more occupied hospital bed-days than all other orthopaedic and trauma admissions combined. They tend to occur in elderly, multi-comorbid patients, who have a high risk of peri-operative complication. A key aspect of the management of hip fractures is timely surgical repair, but this presents numerous anaesthetic challenges connected to uncertainty, age, morbidity and cognition. In this talk, I will draw on primary research, medical literature, and experience of working in a busy hip fracture centre to discuss how best to manage this common - but often stressful - anaesthetic scenario.
Learning objectives:
- review the recent evidence on mode of anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery
- review the recent evidence on timing of hip fracture surgery
- consider practical ways to meet the best practice tariff for hip fracture care
12.30 pm
The uncooperative kidult
Dr Will Brady, Consultant anaesthetist, Wythenshawe Hospital
Talk synopsis:
Special needs dental lists are an interesting beast. They're regarded by some as a fairly soft option in the average Consultant job plan. Until the regular person goes on holiday and the secretary asks for cover – there’s often a collective step backwards away from the prospect!
This chat will describe the challenges faced with anaesthetising neurodiverse patients, anxious children and adult patients who lack capacity. The rules have changed with this latter group of patients, and I’ll describe a Best Interests Clinic we run at Wythenshawe, tell you what to expect if you’ve never run a Best Interests meeting, and how to get the most from it. Hopefully I’ll provide some “tricks of the trade” of how to manage these challenges. Finally I’ll describe some interesting cases along the way…

'But I treat everyone the same' - uncomfortable truths about bias and microaggressions in healthcare teams
Learning objectives:
- Define microaggressions and gender bias in context of healthcare teams
- Give examples of how gender bias and microaggression may appear in feedback
