Media summary – Euroanaesthesia 2021

The stories selected for media releases from this year’s abstracts were from a variety of themes including COVID-related, environmental, 3D printing, the effects of general anaesthesia and differences in surgery outcomes between genders. However, the ongoing crisis of the new omicron variant of COVID-19 meant that these very worthy stories only received limited coverage.

Below are some of the highlights of this coverage:
