Weigh your surgical patients | Perioperative Coach Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

How important is it to weigh your patients, both before and after surgery? Should this then continue during their stay each day they have an i.v. running?

How should we teach perioperative medicine? | Sunday Special Mar 24, 2019

Show notes

How do we develop an agreed curriculum that speaks to what perioperative medicine should be? Once that's in place, how should it be overseen? What sort of official endorsements would it need?

Running in parallel to this are the MOOCs - Massive Online Open Courses - that are being developed.

Developing a broad knowledge of the process is distinct from being a perioperative specialist, how do we develop that even further - without developing a schism? These complicated topics are discussed alongside more detail regarding the future of teaching this speciality.

Presented by Monty Mythen and Mike Grocott with their guests; Joel Symmons, Staff Consultant Anaesthetist in the Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at the Alfred Hospital, Perioperative Medicine Short Course Convenor, and a Senior Lecturer in Anaesthesia at Monash University, and Paul Myles, Head of Alfred Health's and Monash University's Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine.

Population health in a 'fee for service' environment | The RoundTable Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

How do you best work a pre-op clinic? Should they be places where you get your problems documented or where you get your problems 'fixed'? How do you convince your practice to optimise patients for life and not just 90 days? How do we encourage population health? How do we get round the fact that we're still in a 'fee for service world'? What is "PBPM"?

Featuring Desiree Chappell, Monty Mythen, Dr Lee A. Fleisher, Chair of Anesthesiology and Critical Care (University of Pennsylvania) and Vicki Morton DNP and Director of Clinical and Quality Outcomes at Providence Anesthesiology Associates University of South Carolina.

Recorded on the first day of the Intensive Care Society's annual conference this conversation starts with some reflections about how conferences have moved into the modern age now with interactivity and new media revitalising the scene in unexpected ways.

Conversation then moves out to some of the big questions: Is the pulmonary artery catheter back? What have been some of the big take aways in nutrition? Why should you feed a cold and starve a fever? More Protein or less?
