Today we are going to be talking about the December 2023 issue, which is online today! This issue is really exciting because it is the first to contain papers reporting results from NAP7. This will all be dealt with separately, so instead we are going to focus on other papers in the issue. And there is a lot to choose from: prehabilitation; pain assessment; dexmedetomidine; and dexamethasone.
Joining us today all the way from Sheffield is one of our Journal Fellows Dr Paul Bramley. Here are the papers:
Potential for using simulated altitude as a means of prehabilitation: a physiology study
Effect of nociception level index-guided intra-operative analgesia on early postoperative pain and opioid consumption: a systematic review and meta-analysis
