I continue to be surprised at the depth and breadth of talent in our fields. Although there is some emphasis in several topics, it is always gratifying that we are able to produce a wide range of areas that reflects the diversity of practice in anaesthesia and pain medicine. Airway management, regional anaesthesia, coagulation and cardiac function will always be topical. Articles on education and management also feature to make this edition well-rounded and deserving of your attention. In this edition we also welcome the inclusion of several chapters focusing on intensive care medicine. I hope that you will be similarly impressed to read about some of these developments that our ICU colleagues are leading. Further, a chapter on outcomes following decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury is timely and thought-provoking. Having a family member undergo such an operation years ago made it especially poignant. Several years back a keynote speaker at an international simulation in healthcare meeting described the reluctance of many senior clinicians to ask for feedback on their own clinical and teaching practices. As a practicing surgeon, and clinical educator, he decided to embrace the principles of adult education and began to seek feedback from his surgical trainees. Thus, at the completion of each day’s operating, he now asks the trainee, “How’d I do today?” It was a little confronting at first but it became part of his embedded practice and he now welcomes it. The speaker exhorted us to follow his example and seek feedback from our juniors; irrespective of their level of training. He suggested that we might be surprised at the feedback. To follow on this theme, I can let you know that I typically receive one complaint and one to two compliments for each edition of Australasian Anaesthesia, but this is hardly enough. Thus, if you have bouquets or brickbats about the “Blue Book”, I would encourage you to give us feedback. An email address below is provided to facilitate this. Finally, I wish to thank the authors, the regional editors and ANZCA’s Publications Manager Liane Reynolds for their work and support in producing this edition. Please take the opportunity to thank our authors personally when you can and also consider writing yourself for a future edition.
