This conversation reflects a discussion at the Perioperative Quality Inititative (POQI). It originally ran under the title, "Intervascular volume and fluid responsiveness" but, as this conversation explains, it was renamed "Fluid Responsiveness and venous capacitance".

With a genuinely multidisciplinary approach on display here this piece gives you a glimpse at the inner workings of the POQI process. How does macro circulation interlock with micro circulation and cellular function? How do people on the ground measure stroke volumes? What do you do when passive leg raising is not appropriate? How do we address hypovolemia? How do you define fluid responsiveness at the bedside?

Presented by Desiree Chappell and Mike Grocott with their guests David Kaufman Associate Professor, Director, Medical Intensive Care Unit at NYU School of Medicine, NYU-Langone Medical Center and Dr Greg Martin Director, Research Network, GaCTSA; Director, Predictive Health Institute; Research Director, Emory Critical Care Center.

This special four part series explores the fascinating story of Xtreme Everest – the ground-breaking, research programme that has pursued a novel approach to scientific exploration. Over the last decade, this innovative team has performed large scale studies at high altitude to mimic some of the effects of critical illness. The objective is for their findings to be brought "from the mountainside to the bedside" so that the care for our sickest patients may be improved.

In this podcast, Andrew Murray, discusses the findings from his studies on Everest in which he has investigated novel mechanisms that control mitochondrial function under hypoxic conditions. It is hoped that his discoveries will facilitate major breakthroughs in tailoring medical interventions to improve the outcome of critical care patients.

Presented by Joff Lacey with his guest; Andrew Murray a reader in metabolic physiology at the University of Cambridge. Since 2005, Andrew has been a member of the Xtreme Everest research group, studying mitochondrial function in cardiac and skeletal muscle at high altitude.

This piece is a chance to reflect upon the importance of new media within the sphere of medical education. As the run away success of TopMedTalk and other podcasts in this area shows people are hungry to use the unique potential of this medium. Also - how has social media, video casting and live streaming altered the way conferences are both organised, executed and received?

Finally, our team of experts tackle the eternal question; where to next?

Presented by Joff Lacey with his guests; David Lyness, Doctor in Anaesthetics and Intensive Care Medicine at Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, Segun Olusanyam Specialty Trainee in Intensive Care Medicine, Jamie Strachan, Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia Registrar & Council Member of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Dr Cian McDermott Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Mater Misericordiae University Hospital.

This podcast is an exclusive discussion regarding the second session at The International Fluid Academy Day (IFAD) in Amsterdam.

This in depth discussion is a reaction to the session at IFAD and contains insights into the following topics; 'Everything you need to know about fluid therapy', results from some of the most recent trials and 'How to set-up a fluid guideline'.

The team also reflect a little more on the first session.

Presented by Joff Lacey with Monty Mythen and Henry Howe.
