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.
