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.

Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM)'s incredible World Congress in London continues and TopMedTalk is there bringing you exclusive interviews with delegates, guests and key opinion leaders. Here we have a much needed discussion regarding regulating artificial intelligence (AI) at the point of care, and the need for proper regulatory frameworks to ensure its safe and effective use. We stress the importance of clear policies and clinician training for AI implementation, highlighting the potential risks of misusing AI tools due to insufficient understanding of their outputs. How do we get transparency from AI manufacturers regarding the data sets used and the intended applications of their algorithms? Is there a need for independent verification bodies to assess the robustness of AI tools? The conversation concludes with a call for collaboration among clinicians, manufacturers, and regulators to harness the power of AI in healthcare while safeguarding patient outcomes, underscoring the exciting yet challenging future of AI in medicine. Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Joff Lacey with their guest Lee Fleisher, Emeritus Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care and Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Founder and Principal at Rubrum Advising, LLC, Senior Advisor of the Bipartisan Policy Center and FasterCures of the Milken Institute, Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics and Visiting Fellow of the Duke-Margolis Center.

Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) is at the heart of what we do and their annual world conference in London always delivers.  TopMedTalk, the broadcasting arm of EBPOM, is there bringing you conversations and adding to the discussions at the conference. Presented by Andy Cumpstey, NIHR clinical lecturer in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine at Southampton University with Joff Lacey, consultant anaesthetist at St George's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London.

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.

Patient monitoring has made some significant strides forward over the last decade. Nowadays most people are familiar with the idea. Where are we now with this essential aspect of healthcare? How far should we take the commitment to monitoring a patient? What about “wearable” technology both inside and outside the institution? Desiree Chappell speaks with Meera Joshi, Specialist registrar at Ashford and St Peter's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and clinical research fellow in the department of surgery cancer at Imperial College London. FURTHER LISTENING: We mention Sadia Khan, one of her recent contributions to TopMedTalk is here: https://topmedtalk.libsyn.com/monitoring-the-unmonitored-topmedtalk More on “The Value of Information” here: https://topmedtalk.libsyn.com/the-value-of-information-ebpom-usa

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.
