The RELIEF (Restrictive versus liberal fluid therapy in major abdominal surgery) trial has been a huge story for us here at TopMedTalk, recorded on the second day of The Royal Collage of Anaesthetists' annual conference at the British Museum this is the moment the team get to pick over the results in detail.

One of the biggest trials ever, it has both raised questions and provided answers. Inevitably there has been a huge debate, this piece puts all the major questions and concerns to the organiser of the trial.
