The DanGer Shock Trail | EBPOM 24
This piece looks at the DanGer Shock Trial which examines the efficacy of the Impella device in reducing mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. We explain how the device works, its implantation process, and the significant findings from the trial, including a notable reduction in six-month mortality with a number needed to treat (NNT) of eight. Despite higher rates of bleeding and renal filtration therapy in the Impella group, the trial provides strong evidence supporting its use in high-volume centers with trained personnel, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection and timely intervention. Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Joff Lacey with their guest Vasileios Panneudales, an interventional cardiologist at Brompton and Harefield Hospitals.

How do we intelligently use artificial intelligence? | EBPOM 24
Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM)'s incredible World Congress in London continues and TopMedTalk is there bringing you exclusive interviews with delegates, guests and key opinion leaders. Here we have a much needed discussion regarding regulating artificial intelligence (AI) at the point of care, and the need for proper regulatory frameworks to ensure its safe and effective use. We stress the importance of clear policies and clinician training for AI implementation, highlighting the potential risks of misusing AI tools due to insufficient understanding of their outputs. How do we get transparency from AI manufacturers regarding the data sets used and the intended applications of their algorithms? Is there a need for independent verification bodies to assess the robustness of AI tools? The conversation concludes with a call for collaboration among clinicians, manufacturers, and regulators to harness the power of AI in healthcare while safeguarding patient outcomes, underscoring the exciting yet challenging future of AI in medicine. Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Joff Lacey with their guest Lee Fleisher, Emeritus Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care and Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Founder and Principal at Rubrum Advising, LLC, Senior Advisor of the Bipartisan Policy Center and FasterCures of the Milken Institute, Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics and Visiting Fellow of the Duke-Margolis Center.

Perioperative patient safety and post-operative ward monitoring | TopMedTalk
Perioperative patient safety and post-operative ward monitoring is an important topic. Could continuous monitoring potentially improve patient outcomes and reduce rapid response team activations? Can 24/7 monitoring for high-risk patients provide meaningful data and improve patient safety? With a focus upon “meaningful” how do we avoid “alarm fatigue”? Where is the research and what do the data tell us? The paper we mention is here: Presented by Desiree Chappell with Sadia Khan, Consultant Cardiologist at West Middlesex University Hospital and Marco Lucchetti, Anesthesiologist and Medical Director for Patient Care Solutions at GE Healthcare, EMEA.

AI's unique hemodynamic insights - HPI in focus | TopMedTalk
This piece focuses upon the Hypotension Predictive Index (HPI) technology. We look at the validation process of HPI, addressing criticisms and clarifying its predictive ability for hemodynamic instability. How important is it to understand the underlying causes of instability rather than solely relying on blood pressure readings? What is the role of HPI in early detection and proactive management? The discussion also touches on the limitations of traditional mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring and the need for a holistic approach to hemodynamic assessment. Presented by Desiree Chappell, TopMedTalk’s co-editor in Chief, speaking with Monty Mythen, Senior Vice President Medical Affairs, Edwards Lifesciences, Critical Care, Emeritus Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University College London, Thomas Sheeran, Senior Director Medical Affairs, Edwards Lifesciences, and Simon Davies, Consultant Anaesthetist at York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
