Matters arising from the previous meeting notes


2023-03-28 Anesthesia CRG Meeting
3SNOMED Update




Recruitment


Organisations this group can reach out to:

Patrick McCormick has in the past spoken to American specialist societies in Anaesthjesia and has found interest but little concrete engagement. Jane Millar will discuss our list with Ian Green and consider where we can build bridges towards further engagement. There was a general acceptsnce that it will be easier to build engagement when we have specific projects which require broader clinicla input. Grant Forrest noted that AAGBI and RCOA are not coordinating work in this area, which the group regrets.


Review of Prior CRG Work


List of prior work here:

Documents - Anesthesia SIG

Restructuring of Local anesthesia (procedure) hierarchy - https://jira.ihtsdotools.org/browse/IHTSDO-661

Nerve blocks - https://jira.ihtsdotools.org/browse/IHTSDO-376

Work on ventilator terms, particularly by Steven Dain , was noted.

Recent work on nerve block nomenclature standardization

Standardizing nomenclature in regional anesthesia: an ASRA-ESRA Delphi consensus study of abdominal wall, paraspinal, and chest wall blocks


Review of Semantic Associations within Anesthesia Terms


Semantic associations between anesthesia SNOMED terms are likely of more importance going forward.  CRG could create an organized plan to review and if necessary amend semantic relationships between key concepts.

Example:

  • Difficult intubation & related concepts

Is it worth removing postcoordinated "anesthesia for xxx procedure" terms?



Anesthesia Implementation Guide Discussion


Discussion about what would be required to create an Anesthesia Implementation Guide Implementation Guide

Template

Implementation Guide Template

Related work, suggested by Jane Millar , might be to review the data required to represent a contemporary anesthesia record and check that SNOMED can represent these.
