    SOAP 2026: Ron George on community, partnerships, and expanding peripartum anaesthesia

    From the 58th annual meeting of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) in Montreal, Mike Grocott and new co-host Joe Larvin speak with SOAP president Ron George about SOAP's growth to over 1,000 attendees and its international, collaborative community. George outlines his career from Dalhousie to UCSF and back to Canada as director of obstetric anesthesia at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, highlighting its high-risk referral practice and large, internationally diverse fellowship program. He reflects on his presidency's focus on mission alignment and partnerships, including work with the New York State Society of Anesthesia, discussions with the California Society of Anesthesia, and a planned memorandum of understanding with the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) to support evidence-based global education. He also discusses formative work in low- and middle-income settings, advocacy, peripartum anesthesiologist roles, and meeting highlights such as trainees, pain during cesarean delivery panels, and the Gerard W. Ostheimer Lecture. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

    TopMedTalk Classic: Should direct laryngoscopy be consigned to the history books?

    This classic TopMedTalk piece was originally cast in April 2020. The debate 'Direct laryngoscopes should be consigned to history', was hosted by The Royal College Of Anaesthetists and carried out by our two guests on this piece, where the debate is outlined in advance. We get into the advantages and challenges behind the two techniques; video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy. The conversation explores the fact that these skills are a key part of the job of practitioners, are we "de-skilling" the profession in an overly enthusiastic race toward new technology or are some resisting it simply because it's not what they are used to? Presented by Joff Lacey and Monty Mythen with their two guests; Professor Tim Cook, Consultant in Anaesthesia and ICM, Royal United Hospitals, Bath and Dr William Harrop-Griffiths, St Mary's Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

    Euroanaesthesia 2026: Hot Topics in General Anaesthesiology with Laszlo Vutskits and Hugh Hemmings

    Live from Euroanaesthesia 2026 in Rotterdam, Kate Leslie and Andy Cumpstey speak with Laszlo Vutskits and Hugh Hemmings ahead of the "Hot Topics in General Anaesthesiology" lecture. Vutskits discusses reports of devastating neurologic outcomes after minor procedures in previously healthy patients, linked in a Spanish series to a shared mitochondrial DNA haplotype traced to Venezuela, including a rare ND4 complex I mutation; cybrid and fibroblast experiments showed clinically relevant sevoflurane rapidly suppresses oxidative phosphorylation but reversibly on washout, while propofol (tested without lipid) did not. Hemmings highlights the DAS 2026 airway management guidance advocating video laryngoscopy as first-line for routine and difficult intubation and emphasizes continuous oxygen delivery during intubation, prompting debate about skill retention and global feasibility.

    Perioperative Profile: Alan Merry

    Recorded live at the ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting in Auckland, Kate Leslie interviews Professor Alan Merry for a perioperative profile, covering his retirement from clinical practice, ongoing research supervision, and work on environmental sustainability. Merry recounts being raised by a single mother in Zimbabwe, studying medicine at the Godfrey Huggins School of Medicine in Harare, and moving to New Zealand amid the Rhodesian Bush War. He describes entering anaesthesia after initially planning psychiatry, then becoming involved in New Zealand medical manslaughter law reform following prosecutions of clinicians, helping achieve the Crimes Amendment Act 1997's higher "major departure" threshold. He also discusses co-authoring "Error, Medicine and the Law" with Alexander McCall Smith, establishing New Zealand's Health Quality & Safety Commission, and international quality work through WFSA, the Global Oximetry Project, and the WHO surgical safety initiative that produced the surgical safety checklist, including its Auckland implementation. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

    The Lancet Surgery and Anaesthesiology: A New Journal for Perioperative Medicine

    At the EBPOM World Congress in London; TopMedTalk's Andy Cumpsty sits down for an exclusive interview with Amy Slogrove, editor-in-chief of the new journal, The Lancet Surgery and Anaesthesiology, ahead of its public launch on 20 July and a planned first issue in early 2027. Dr Slogrove, a South Africa–based pediatrician and epidemiologist, explains the journal's aim - to bring surgery and anaesthesiology together across the perioperative space, emphasizing research integrity, rigor, and ethics, supported by clinical peer review. She outlines the editorial team, submission route via thelancet.com/surgery, expected decision timelines, and peer-review approach. The journal will be a monthly, small-format, hybrid subscription model, with priorities including equity, patient-centered care, sustainability, resilience of perioperative systems, and global inclusivity. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

    TopMedTalk AI: Identifying How AI Can Help in Intensive Care

    Recorded live at the EBPOM World Congress in London, this episode of TopMedTalk AI features host James Bowness and co-host Amy Gomes speaking with Joe Harris, anaesthesia resident and Innovation Fellow in Anaesthesia at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) NHS Foundation Trust and Sanjay Wijayatilake, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Neuro Intensive Care MedicineBarking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust about "AI demand signaling" in intensive care. Harris explains the demand-signaling method—surveying clinicians on key problems, translating these into candidate AI use cases, prioritizing them via a Delphi panel, then exploring them in multidisciplinary workshops—to ensure AI development starts from frontline clinical needs rather than industry assumptions. Following completion of the anesthesia project, the intensive care survey is open to UK ICM clinicians across professions until July 31, with Delphi work planned for August–September and workshops in November–December. Follow this link for more: https://demandsignal.uk/ The discussion highlights governance, regulation, liability, and "black box" concerns, alongside potential ICU applications such as reducing alarm fatigue, documentation and transcription support, ventilator and workflow assistance, medication interaction checks, and evidence synthesis to support diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing AI as a partner with a human in the loop. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.
