How important is it to have a dedicated member of your team focused on starting, maintaining and coordinating your enhanced recovery programme?

Does an enhanced recovery programme which comes from the grassroots need support early on in the process? How do you find the right people to support you once the process has begun? Also, how do you explain that these changes will actually reduce workload?

The conversation moves into managing pain, both the reality of pain and the expectations which can, if handled correctly, help to reduce it.

Finally, what are the three key aptitudes that an enhanced recovery coordinator needs?

Presented by Desiree Chappell with Korey Springman, Anesthesiologist and Perioperative Medicine Fellow at Duke University and Vicki Morton, Director of Clinical and Quality Outcomes at Providence Anesthesiology Associates and Courtney Fossen, Manager of Surgical Services at US Anesthesia Partners (USAP).

How widespread are misconceptions about delirium within your surgical team? Do you and your colleagues know how to recognise it? If so, how does your definition compare with the actual definition you can find in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5)?

This piece suggests more work needs to be done to accurately diagnose and understand this condition in a clinical environment.

Presented by Robin Schiller and Bridger Bach with their guest Zhaosheng Jin, Queen's hospital, Barking Havering Redbridge NHS trust, Central London School of Anaesthesia.

What are the hot topics in the cardiac world at the moment? Alongside reflections on this year's annual meeting of 'The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists' (SCA) this piece tackles; the need for gender balance when composing panels and building a successful event; the need to do what we know and do it well; how quality improvement benefits from simplicity; the need to keep younger practitioners involved and finally the need for a fuller engagement with the multidisciplinary aspect of cardiac care.

Presented by Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen with Sol Aronson, tenured Professor at Duke University and Executive Vice Chairman in the Department of Anesthesiology and Michael Eaton, Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at the University of Rochester, New York.
