Purpose Of Review:
This review navigates the landscape of precision anaesthesia, emphasising tailored and individualized approaches to anaesthetic administration. The aim is to elucidate precision medicine principles, applications, and potential advancements in anaesthesia. The review focuses on the current state, challenges, and transformative opportunities in precision anaesthesia.
Recent Findings:
The review explores evidence supporting precision anaesthesia, drawing insights from neuroscientific fields. It probes the correlation between high-dose intraoperative opioids and increased postoperative consumption, highlighting how precision anaesthesia, especially through initiatives like Safe Brain Initiative (SBI), could address these issues. The SBI represents multidisciplinary collaboration in perioperative care. SBI fosters effective communication among surgical teams, anaesthesiologists, and other medical professionals.
Summary:
Precision anaesthesia tailors care to individual patients, incorporating genomic insights, personalised drug regimens, and advanced monitoring techniques. From EEG to cerebral/somatic oximetry, these methods enhance precision. Standardised reporting, patient-reported outcomes, and continuous quality improvement, alongside initiatives like SBI, contribute to improved patient outcomes. Precision anaesthesia, underpinned by collaborative programs, emerges as a promising avenue for enhancing perioperative care.
