“It's kind of easy to say it; ‘drinking, eating, mobilizing' and yet actually what does it mean? Drinking, how much? Eating, what? And mobilizing, in what way? And so we refined the definitions so that everyone was measuring the same thing…” The Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme (PQIP): https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/research/research-projects/perioperative-quality-improvement-programme-pqip Presented by Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen with their guest Ramani Moonesinghe, OBE, Professor of Perioperative Medicine at University College London and Honorary Consultant in Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at University College London Hospital.

The big talking point at The World Congress of Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) 2023 was the results of the ‘OPtimisation of Peri-operaTive CardIovascular Management to Improve Surgical outcomE II (OPTIMISE II)' trial. The OPTIMISE II trial is an international, multi-centre, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial with an open study group allocation, to determine whether cardiac output-guided fluid therapy, with a low dose inotrope infusion is clinically effective when compared to usual care in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. This podcast captures the moment the world has been waiting for as this global trial (with over 30 participating centres in Australia, Canada, Germany, Jordan, Poland, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, US and the UK) which launched in January 2017, reports its results. Presented by Desiree Chappell, Monty Mythen and Mark Edwards, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, University Hospital Southampton, Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer, University of Southampton. We speak to Rupert Pearse here:https://topmedtalk.libsyn.com/topmedtalks-to-rupert-pearse-esaic-2023 This story is one of the first TopMedTalk ever covered!
