This conversation covers one of the conference's talking points; developmental neurotoxicity. Can human infants exposed to anaesthesia early in their early development really be facing risks which we were previously unaware of? There's a lack of evidence at the moment but outcomes for young animals have raised concern. Given the complexities of human neurodevelopment how can such issues be reliably detected?

Presented by Joff Lacey with his guest Hugh Hemmings Senior Associate Dean for Research, Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Twitter is ablaze with talk of the Society for Perioperative Assessment and Quality Improvement (SPAQI). How did they do it?

This piece is a thought provoking discussion about new media and the consequences of our online world for medicine. 'The democratisation of education' is a phrase we've heard here on TopMedTalk in the past. How does direct access to information and experts in our field alter the state of play in the perioperative field?

Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen are presenting with their guest Avital O'Glasser, Assistant Professor of Medicine at OHSU, Oregon Health & Science University and member of the communications committee for SPAQI.

Most people are familiar with ultrasound these days, next to the stethoscope and thanks largely to baby photographs, it's one of the most frequent public facing technologies in medicine.

New developments in transesophageal echocardiography have brought about huge advancements in its use as a technology; not to mention the incredible images now available from three dimensional echocardiography. As ultrasound becomes more available and more portable this conversation gives you an idea of where, when, why and how you can use this incredible tool. Is it really a piece of bedside assessment equipment which is about to become as ubiquitous as a doctor's thermometer?

It's difficult not to get excited about the ability to take a quick look at a patient's cardiac function, at the bedside, with a handheld piece of kit. Scanning a patient's abdomen, seeing how to apply appropriate measures of care rapidly on the spot, these are just some of the advantages discussed in this piece.
