The Anaesthesia Review Group's scope takes in the peri-operative care of people undergoing surgery, and includes general issues common to many such patients as well as reviews focused on particular types of surgery or patient. Our particular areas of interest are given below, though we will also consider reviews on more specialised areas of anaesthetic practice.

Our topics are:

• pre-operative assessment and optimisation
• intra-operative management
• postoperative complications and how to avoid them
• airway management
• regional anaesthesia
• paediatric anaesthesia
• acute pain management
