This article updates us on the eFONA Registry, a web-based survey tool used to collect data on cases to understand as much about this process as possible.
December 2022 saw the final conversion of the initial dataset into a web-based survey tool. Further testing followed, which was exciting and challenging in equal measure. We are very grateful to our beta-testers who tested the questionnaire to destruction to ensure its future functionality.
Their feedback has been fundamental to the next steps in the project, even though their key finding was that the questionnaire was too long. The length of the form was originally dictated by airway experts from around the world with the aim of developing a set of questions they believed would capture all relevant data around an eFONA episode. To reduce its length, a ‘Delphi’ exercise is underway which will identify and agree on the fundamental questions to be answered when reporting an eFONA event.
Dr Carolyn Johnston tells us about a new project aiming to find ways to improve the time it takes for patients to have their surgery.
