Author: Dr Dave Murray, Consultant Anaesthetist South Tees NHS Trust; Chair NELA
The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) is 10 years old this year, so this is a timely point to review progress, highlight achievements, and look at the persisting challenges ahead.
In the beginning
NELA was commissioned in 2012. One of the key pieces of evidence to support its funding was the paper published by the Emergency Laparotomy Network.1 This observational study of more than 1,800 patients highlighted a 15% mortality rate, but with a nine-fold variation in mortality across the 35 trusts. Consultant presence was 74% for surgeons and anaesthetist presence was 64%. Half the patients were admitted to critical care, and patients returning to the ward had a 6.7% mortality rate.

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust has been awarded ACSA accreditation, demonstrating their commitment to patient safety and excellence of care.
