Abstract
Quality Improvement in Perioperative Care: What Works and What Doesn’t?

In this talk I will discuss the basics of quality improvement in perioperative care.  Reflecting on extensive experience running QI projects around the world I will provide practical tips on how to be effective and build projects that not only are successful but can be sustained. I will also discuss barriers and pitfalls to success. Tools and techniques I will mention, include process mapping, PDSA cycles, change management and the importance of communication, and measurement tools.  Practical examples will be given from work including emergency laparotomy and the Perioperative Brain Health Initiative.

The Perioperative Brain Health Initiative: What Can You Do?

In this session I will present a background to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Perioperative Brain Health Initiative, of which I am Chair.  I will present the demographics and data on the incidence of delirium and delayed neurocognitive recovery. Delirium is the commonest postoperative complication in patients over 65 years of age undergoing surgery and is likely to be preventable in at least 40% of cases.  Despite this fact data shows that few anaesthetists (at least in the US) take any of the preventative actions recommended in major guidelines. I will discuss how to start your own local Perioperative Brain Health Initiative and some of the practical issues that arise, how to start screening patients for cognitive dysfunction preoperatively, what information to give patients and their families and  how to involve colleagues across the perioperative spectrum.  I will provide links to resources so that you can begin to take action to reduce the incidence of this common complication.
