Lessons learned from the Enhanced Peri-Operative Care for High-risk patients (EPOCH) trial. This conversation focuses upon the challenges of quality improvement programmes; how do we keep track of patients and improve follow up questions after surgery? How do we clearly show Quality Improvement Programmes work for the patient? Further discussion encompasses innovation and utilization in practice.

Presented by Monty Mythen and Desiree Chappell with their guest Carole Peden, Professor of Anesthesiology and Exec. Director of the Center for Health System Innovation, University of Southern California, University of Bath and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI).

This discussion focuses on the perioperative quality initiative's (POQI) intense focus this year on total body water and electrolytes. How often should we weigh patients to monitor water balance? What can we learn from a real understanding of the circulation of interstitial fluid and lymphatics? What is the role of diuretics for the perioperative practitioner? Also, haemodilution, what should you do if you have a patient with a positive post operative fluid balance and a low haemoglobin? Finally, how do we deal with Sodium balance and Chloride?

Coming from this summer's POQI hosted at Duke University in North Carolina, USA this podcast is presented by Monty Mythen and Henry Howe with their guests Tom Woodcock, an independent consultant in patient safety, medical law and ethics, and Manu Malbrain, Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacology Vrije University in Brussells.

Despite the fact that a return on investment is a given after 12 months why is it that resources are not available for those of us pushing for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)? How do we convert the conversation down from pure financial terms into a lexicon that institutions can understand?

The 'Council of Nurses' idea advocated in this piece is explored further in a previous podcast on TopMedTalk to be found here: https://www.topmedtalk.com/a-council-of-nurses/
