QUINCE
Quality of Intraoperative Cerebral Protection
QUINCE (The Quality of Intraoperative Cerebral Protection) was the first collaborative project by PLAN. It was originally intended to test the network feasibility but eventually 87 anaesthetists collected data on nearly 500 in 25 hospitals across London. The findings were marked: systolic hypotension affected over 80% of elderly patients undergoing general anaesthesia, with low uptakes of depth of anaesthesia monitoring and tight ETCO2 control. In completing QUINCE, PLAN was able to test its ability to deliver high quality large scale trainee led projects. The project won 2nd prize in the AAGBI Winter Scientific Meeting audit category in January 2015, has been published in abstract form in Anaesthesia and a full peer reviewed manuscript publication in Perioperative Medicine Journal. Finally, QUINCE formed the groundwork for a national project (iHypE) which will be conducted in collaboration with RAFT later in 2016 (http://www.i-hype.org).
