Safer prehospital anaesthesia: updated guidelines from the Association of Anaesthetists
Summary Introduction Prehospital emergency anaesthesia is recognised as a high‐risk clinical intervention. These updated guidelines consider changes in prehospital practice and parallel changes in the practice of in‐hospital emergency anaesthesia, with the aim of encouraging standardised safe anaesthetic practice in a challenging clinical area.
