Collaborative Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Research in the Severn Deanery
SNAP-2: EpiCCS
The original Sprint National Anaesthesia Project (SNAP-1) took place in May 2014 and STAR were heavily involved. The project was a two-day evaluation of patient reported outcomes after anaesthesia: specifically, patient-reported satisfaction and awareness. The results are currently under review ahead of planned publication; watch this space for more details.
​
SNAP-2: EPICCS was an observational cohort study evaluating Critical Care provision after Surgery. This prospective cohort study took place over a one-week period in early 2017 and STAR played a pivotal role in supporting this important project in our region.
