Abstract
Background: Bone cement implant syndrome (BCIS) is a risk for patients who undergo cemented hip arthroplasty, and its prevalence remains high, in particular for cemented hemiarthroplasty following neck of femur fracture. The establishment of a grading system for BCIS in 2009 allows for measurement and its use has demonstrated the severity of this syndrome and its implications for patients and surgical teams. The ability of the surgical and anesthetic team to manage this potentially fatal condition hinges on awareness and preparation. The goal of the study was to determine the levels of awareness of BCIS in a cohort of orthopaedic and anesthetic teams.
