Euroanaesthesia, one of the most important and influential annual congresses in anaesthesiology and intensive care. This year, TopMedTalk was there in Munich, Germany, bringing you exclusive coverage.

More from this year’s coverage of the European Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC).

This piece focuses on perioperative and intensive care medicine, the importance of evidence-based guidelines over expert opinion. Why do we need a European perioperative database? How important is mentorship in medicine? How do we take the lead with leadership?

Recorded at the recent American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology meeting this piece focuses upon the importance of addressing intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and its broader implications for patient outcomes, such as surgical site infections (SSI), postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and other complications. We also discuss the need for continuous education and the use of goal-directed therapy (GDT) to improve patient care.
