A google hangout discussing the latest study on Early Goal Directed Therapy - ARISE. Featuring Anthony Delaney, Simon Carley, Segun Olusanya, James Day, Minh Le Cong, Jonathan Downham and Oli Flower.

When does age transition from being an asset to a liability? Segun Olusanya and James Day interview Chris Thorpe on the intriguing question of whether increasing retirement age of ICU consultants affects personal health and patient safety.

Karin Amrein is the lead author of the VITdAL-ICU trial that was just published in JAMA. Hear her real take on the results, implications and how she did it with two young kids.

Anthony Delaney is a lead PI for the recently published ARISE study

Listen to his take on ARISE and:

• The clinical bottom line
• Why it was a feat in itself pulling off such a study
• What is true dogmalysis
• The future for sepsis studies
• His take on EMCrit's Scott Weingart's interpretation
• His responses to EMCrit listener's comments

Above all, the take home points are in line with Scott's:

• Give the right antibiotics early
• Get source control ASAP
• Be careful at intubation
• Give the right amount of fluid for your patient (I know...)
• Early judicious use of vasopressors
• Admit the patient to an appropriately monitored area
