This piece focuses upon the Hypotension Predictive Index (HPI) technology. We look at the validation process of HPI, addressing criticisms and clarifying its predictive ability for hemodynamic instability. How important is it to understand the underlying causes of instability rather than solely relying on blood pressure readings? What is the role of HPI in early detection and proactive management? The discussion also touches on the limitations of traditional mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring and the need for a holistic approach to hemodynamic assessment. Presented by Desiree Chappell, TopMedTalk's co-editor in Chief, speaking with Monty Mythen, Senior Vice President Medical Affairs, Edwards Lifesciences, Critical Care, Emeritus Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University College London, Thomas Sheeran, Senior Director Medical Affairs, Edwards Lifesciences, and Simon Davies, Consultant Anaesthetist at York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Hanlie du Plessis talks about a career in anaesthesia. I love the idea of choosing a specialty by "finding your tribe". Her top tip for doctors exploring careers is to talk to lots of people about their careers, but don't ask them about the best bit, ask them about the worst bit - because unless you can cope with that, it doesn't matter how good the rest of the job sounds.Hanlie grew up in South Africa and after completing her medical degree she moved to Scotland to complete her post graduate training in Anaesthesia. She worked as a consultant anaesthetist in the West and Central Scotland before moving to Oxford in 2015. Her work involves anaesthesia for major emergencies, spinal trauma, urology and gynaecological procedures. She has been awarded for her compassionate care and previously nominated for the ‘Doctor of the Year' award in Oxford University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. She was instrumental in establishing their departmental wellbeing and sustenance initiative during the pandemic. She is the lead for clinical governance in her group and teaches medical students from the University of Oxford on their rotation in anaesthesia. She is a holistic clinician and practices as a life coach working with clinicians to prevent burnout and find clarity to navigate their career transitions. She is currently training in lifestyle medicine which aligns with her interests in preventative medicine. She lives by her values of empathy, empowerment and equality-especially for women in medicine. She regularly practices yoga, reads as much as possible, loves the outdoors, the ocean and coffee.You can connect with Hanlie athttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hanlie-du-plessis-791658142/

Masks are being shamelessly used by our Governments as a Political prop. Masks are being used as a reminder of a frightening scourge enveloping us and Mandates are a tool of subjugation. There is ample scientific evidence that masks don't protect wearers from Covid19; and yet learned Public Health Officers, professional lobby groups and conflicted media perpetuate the Government lie. From Sheep Station Creek in Queensland to Los Angeles County, mask hysteria rules. It is simply cruel to force the elderly and young children to wear masks. Individuals should be free to choose, but Public Health officials should focus instead on the real risks of extended and unhygienic use of face masks and how to properly treat Covid-19.

"The song remains the same" The story picks up toward the end of the 1970's; "interesting stuff was going on ... Professor William Shoemaker, a surgeon and intensive care doctor one of the founding members of the American critical care society ... fiddling around with pulmonary artery catheters in his high risk surgical patients in South Los Angeles, and identified that those patients that were surviving tended to have higher cardiac indexes higher option deliveries than the non survivors".

"We have to remember that patients have a team" How do we involve patients in the increasingly complex conversations we have in the perioperative space? This piece is a detailed case study which shows how shared decision making works in the perioperative setting. We know this improves patient experience yet in the last 10 or so years, consistently only 50 to 60% of patients say they were involved in decision making. How can shifting towards a value based care model help? What is "moral injury" and how do we avoid it? Can a data driven analysis actually show shared decision making reduces costs?

This is an Edwards Lifesciences Sponsored Lecture which was originally streamed live on TopMedTalk from the hugely successful EBPOM USA 2019 in Dallas. In this piece we hear about the ongoing need for institutions and healthcare professionals to recognise the damaging consequences of intraoperative hypotension. Evidence has been mounting here on TopMedTalk over the last couple of years; there's no doubt hypotension is an area of concern for many of our experts and contributors. Listen to more on this here via our large selection of podcasts on the topic: https://www.topmedtalk.com/?s=hypotension For those who are already across the data the next question is, how do we detect it and prevent it, ideally before it even occurs? Here the HPI monitor comes into play, a cutting edge piece of technology which uses artificial intelligence to analyse the data and make predictions which could save your patient from a problematic outcome. Presented by Dr Simon Davies, Consultant Anaesthetist, York Teaching Hospitals, NHS Foundation Trust.

2020 was a big year for prehabilitation, the advent of a global pandemic has only increased the importance of this exciting field of medicine. Various questions from EBPOM 2020 attendees were tackled by the panel: Can you use "Timed Up and Go" (TUG) and The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) to screen out unnecessary cardio-pulminary exercise testing (CPET)? What exactly is prehabilitation and what's its natural scope? How important is nutrition? Is it possible to standardise these areas more? What areas are being significantly worked on in prehabilitation medicine in the UK this year? What about - in these COVID 19 times - remote screening and assessment? Also, what about the possibilities regarding aerosolisation, particularly of COVID-19, during CPET? Can prehabilitation work to minimise time spent in hospital? Presented by Mike Grocott, Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Southampton with Karen Kerr, Consultant Anaesthetist, Departmental Lead for CPET, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals (STH) and featuring panelists; Denny Levett, Professor in Perioperative Medicine and Critical Care at the University of Southampton and a Consultant in Perioperative Medicine at Southampton University Hospital NHS Foundation trust (UHS), June Davis, Director of Allied Health Solutions, Allied Health Professions Advisor (part time) for Macmillan Cancer Support and a professional advisor to the Care Quality Commission and Steve Wootton, OBE, Associate Professor in Nutrition at the University of Southampton with an honorary appointment with University Hospital Southampton in Clinical Nutrition.

In this episode, I speak with Dr Nicoletta Fossati, consultant anaesthetist at St. George's hospital, and honorary reader in clinical education and anaesthesia at St. George's University of London. We chat about navigating one's 'new' identity after becoming suddenly disabled later in life, and the grieving process that accompanies this process. Nicoletta tells us about the perks of being a 'reformed perfectionist' as a disabled clinician and academic.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of anaesthetics, from laughing gas in the 1790s to the discovery of “blessed chloroform”. Remembering his unsuccessful stint at Edinburgh Medical school Charles Darwin described the horrors of surgery before anaesthetics : "I attended the operating theatre and saw two very bad operations... but I rushed away before they were completed. Nor did I ever attend again, for hardly any inducement would have been strong enough to make me do so; this being long before the blessed days of chloroform. The two cases fairly haunted me for many a long year."The suffering Darwin witnessed is almost unimaginable. In the 19th Century, a simple fracture often led to amputation carried out on a conscious patient, whose senses would be dulled only by brandy or perhaps some morphine. Many patients died of shock.The properties of gases like nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” held out hope. The chemist Humphrey Davy in the 1790s described it as “highly pleasurable, thrilling”. He also noticed his toothache disappeared. But he failed to apply his observations and it wasn't until the 1840s that there was a major breakthrough in anaesthetics, when an enterprising dentist in Boston managed to anaesthetize a patient with ether. It became known as the “Yankee Dodge”. Ether had its drawbacks and the search for a suitable alternative continued until chloroform was tried in 1847, winning many admirers including Queen Victoria, the first English royal to use it. So why did it take so long for inhaled gases to advance from providing merely recreational highs to providing an essential tool of humane surgery? What role did the development of the atomic bomb play in the development of anaesthetics? And how have society's changing attitudes to pain informed the debate?With David Wilkinson, Consultant Anaesthetist at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London and President of the History of Anaesthesia Society; Stephanie Snow, Research Associate at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology & Medicine at the University of Manchester; Anne Hardy, Professor in the History of Modern Medicine at University College London
