    The Cipher HPI trial with Sandy Jackson | IARS

    The Cipher HPI study focuses on continuous, iterative, perioperative, holistic risk evaluation using advanced hemodynamic monitoring data. The study, integrates preoperative and intraoperative data to predict the need for vasopressors or fluid after surgery. We discuss the study's methodology, results, and the potential implications for clinical practice, including the use of machine learning techniques for better risk prediction and resource optimization in critical care settings. The episode emphasizes the importance of utilizing rich patient data throughout the surgical journey to enhance outcomes and support clinician decision-making. Presented by Mike Grocott and Kate Leslie on location at the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) and Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, with their guest, Alexander (Sandy) Jackson an anaesthetist and intensive care physician who is also a clinican data scientist, currently funded by the UK's National Insitute of Health and Care Research (NIHR), based at the NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre. We mention Guy Ludbrook, Professor of Anaesthesia at the University of Adelaide and Royal Adelaide Hospital, and an occasional presenter here on TopMedTalk.

    The PREPARE trial with Daniel McIsaac | IARS

    The PREPARE trial is a randomized control trial aimed at improving surgical outcomes for older patients with frailty through prehabilitation. This discussion covers the inspiration behind the trial, the structure of the prehabilitation program, and the trial's results. Despite not finding significant improvements in the primary outcomes across all patients, the trial revealed that those who adhered to the program showed clinically meaningful improvements. The conversation delves into the challenges of patient adherence, the role of technology, and the importance of personalized interventions in prehabilitation. Presented by Mike Grocott and Kate Leslie on location at the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) and Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, with their guest, Daniel McIsaac, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, University of Ottawa, Canada. Further resources: We mention Chelsia Gillis, Assistant Professor in the School of Human Nutrition in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill University.

    Gender Disparities in Surgical Efficiency and Outcomes

    In this piece we discuss a ground breaking study on gender differences in surgical efficiency and outcomes with Anika Bald, a medical student from Germany, and Dr. Matthias Eikermann, a clinician scientist and department chair at Montefiore Einstein in New York. The study reveals that women surgeons have shorter delays to starting surgical add-on cases and better postoperative outcomes compared to men. The episode delves into the implications of these findings and discusses the value of diversity and inclusion in medical research and practice. Presented by Mike Grocott and Kate Leslie on location at the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) and Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, with their guests, Matthias Eikermann, Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York USA and Anika Bald a medical student from Germany.

    Advancing Patient Safety in Anesthesia, Insights from Sven Stander

    This piece discusses significant advancements and ongoing challenges in anesthesia and perioperative medicine. Our guest shares his journey from his training days at the University of Basel to his influential work in patient safety across Europe; including pioneering efforts with incident reporting and simulation training inspired by collaborations with NASA. The conversation delves into the evolution of safety practices, the emphasis on human factors over technological advancements, and the complexities of teamwork and communication in the operating room. They explore the importance of standardized procedures, the necessity of adaptability in unstandardized situations, and the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in enhancing patient outcomes.
