Agenda for 20-25 minutes• The necessity of this audit
• Methods• Results: key finding – at the national and site-specific levels
( Aintree)
• Interpretations– ‘MD Bulletin’ to mention
Introduction
02/05/2023 3
Problem• 19,000 admissions with LGIB / UK / year • Becoming much more common• Practice is suboptimal; assumption based on concerns:
– re inappropriate use of blood components in GIB– re too small proportion of pts undergoes investigations during index adm.
• An objective evaluation of performance against a set of standards to produce a piece of evidence was required to understand the processes of care and outcomes, and to identify areas for improvement
Introduction

16. Surgical procedures with a predicted mortality > 10% should be conducted under the direct supervision of a consultant surgeon (CCT holder) and consultant anaesthetist unless the consultants are satisfied that the delegated staff have adequate competency, experience, manpower and are adequately free of competing responsibilities (ASGBI 2012)

Aintree-specific findings• Only 60% had their NSAIDs withheld• 1 out of 10 of patients with PR bleeding – on warfarin.
– the vast majority of them didn’t receive appropriate PCC or vitamin K
• Although presentation with shock was rare , 25% received RBCs– many of these transfusions may be deemed inappropriate.
• A 1/3 of patients that had significant bleeding didn’t have the source of their bleeding investigated– of those that underwent investigation, many waited more than 24 h
• No patients required emergency laparotomy

• NOT – acute UGI bleeding– acute LGI bleeding

#2:ConcentrationIn specialized unit for GIB management within GASTROENTEROLOGY
1. an elderly patient 1. major comorbidities, 2. often taking a ‘blood thinner’
2. requiring limited transfusions 1. 5% require large volume
transfusion
3. requiring radiology & endoscopy4. not requiring urgent surgery5. not having clinical diagnosis

#3: Beauty of centralization
• Experience • Regular and easy audits• Reports to MD / CEO• Easy leading: regionally & nationally• Development of guidelines and pathways
and SOP afterwards• Teaching / research• Collaboration with DME• Less biased communication• Urgent or semi-urgent endoscopies• Reduction of duplication of functions &
variations in care provision• Better service at a lower cost

Getting it right for every patient every time
MD bulletin, October 2016Dr. Steve Evans, Medical Director
• The 1st paragraph is about the funding of health and social care …
• The 2nd paragraph: ‘For us in Liverpool this merely intensifies the
pressures we are all experiencing on a daily basis and increases the
imperative for us to find better ways of working collaboratively across
our health system – our Sustainability and Transformation Plan aims to
reduce unnecessary duplication and variation in clinical services,
thereby providing a better service for our patients at a lower cost.’
• AN EXCELLENT CHANCE to lead along the proper pathway
Thank you
