This important piece shines a light on the evolution and challenges of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). If you've never listened to TopMedTalk, this is a great place to start. If you've listened before it's possible you've heard us talking with excitement about today's guest, we hope you find this session to be worth the wait. Hear how our guest's insights on the need for an understanding of the pathophysiological basis and integrated pre-, intra- and post-operative care for the best patient centered outcomes. We cover the concept of “DReaMing” (Drinking, Eating, Mobilizing) as both a goal and measure of recovery; it simplifies complex pathways, encouraging a focus on practical, patient-centered outcomes while reminding us to investigate barriers when these aren't achieved. Also, listen to our timely discussion regarding the misinterpretation of fluid management—shifting from avoiding overload to outright restriction—reiterating the importance of precision and nuance in applying guidelines. Can these approaches then be turned into individualized risk assessments, which bridge the gap between protocolization and personalization? Finally there's a powerful call for increased post-discharge research, to monitor and mitigate challenges like fatigue and pain. Recovery does not stop at hospital discharge. Presented by Desiree Chappell, Mike Grocott and Monty Mythen with their guest, Henrik Kehlet, Professor of Surgery at Copenhagen University and Professor of Perioperative Therapy at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University, Denmark.  He is also an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK, the American College of Surgeons, the American Surgical Association, the German Surgical Society, the German Anaesthesiological Society and American Society of Anesthesiology.

Organised by The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). The British Journal of Anaesthesia (BJA) publishes high-impact original work in all branches of anaesthesia, critical care medicine, pain medicine and perioperative medicine. This piece gets into AI generated content, sustainability and the Editorial Fellowship Program. Presented by Kate Leslie with Desiree Chappell and their guests Hugh Hemmings, Editor in Chief of the BJA, Senior Associate Dean for Research, Anesthesiologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and Beatrijs Valk, Resident Göttingen University Medical Center, Editorial Fellow BJA.

Perioperative patient safety and post-operative ward monitoring is an important topic. Could continuous monitoring potentially improve patient outcomes and reduce rapid response team activations? Can 24/7 monitoring for high-risk patients provide meaningful data and improve patient safety? With a focus upon “meaningful” how do we avoid “alarm fatigue”? Where is the research and what do the data tell us? The paper we mention is here: https://doi.org/10.1080/13696998.2023.2219156 Presented by Desiree Chappell with Sadia Khan, Consultant Cardiologist at West Middlesex University Hospital and Marco Lucchetti, Anesthesiologist and Medical Director for Patient Care Solutions at GE Healthcare, EMEA.

This piece is part of our coverage of The International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) annual meeting. Here our guest discusses his dual roles in patient safety and quality improvement and his research in spatial sciences; focusing on how environmental and social factors impact health. Can the integration of environmental data into electronic health records allow us to better understand and address health determinants like air quality? What are the practical applications for healthcare providers? Presented by Desiree Chappell, TopMedTalk co-editor in Chief and Monty Mythen, TopMedTalk's founder, with their guest Jonathan Tan, Vice Chair of Analytics and Clinical Effectiveness, Department of Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine, Assistant Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology and Spatial Sciences, Keck School of Medicine of USC.

Euroanaesthesia is organised by The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). This year, TopMedTalk was there in Munich, Germany, bringing you exclusive coverage. What are the effects of up to 72 hours of perioperative ketamine on the risk of development of chronic post-surgical pain? How can we improve pain management and perioperative opioid use after surgery? More about the ROCKet Trial here: https://medicine.unimelb.edu.au/research-groups/critical-care-research/critcare/appmu/the-rocket-study More about PANDOS here: https://esaic.org/research/research-groups/pandos/ Presented by Desiree Chappell and Kate Leslie with their guests Patrice Forget, Professor, Clinical Chair in Anaesthesia at the University of Aberdeen (UK), and Honorary Consultant at the NHS Grampian, Chair of the PANDOS (Pain AND Opioids after Surgery) ESAIC Research Group and Philip Peyton, Head of research in the department of anaesthesia at Austin Health and Professorial Fellow in the Anaesthesia, Perioperative and Pain Medicine Unit, Melbourne Medical School, University of Melbourne, Australia.

Welcome to a conversation we recorded at The 7th Collaborative Clinical Trials in Anaesthesiology Conference, Prato, Italy. What is the role of a journal in 2024? Why are platform trials so exciting at the moment? How have things moved forward in research? Presented by Desiree Chappell with her co-hosts Mike Grocott, Kate Leslie and their guest Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo the 17th Editor in Chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association and the JAMA Network.
