TopMedTalk | Tom Woodcock
This piece was recorded at the start of the year, to celebrate the launch of Tom Woodcock’s book Fluid Physiology, A Handbook for Anaesthesia and Critical Care Practice: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=F-m4DwAAQBAJ&printsec=copyright&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false The editorial team here at TopMedTalk recently (08/12/2020) reflected upon the fact that Tom’s ‘big areas to watch in 2020’ have proven to be remarkably prescient.

TopMedTalk | Fluid Physiology in detail
“We did not have a concensus view on the very basic subject of fluid physiology and I needed to write a book”. Recorded at the start of the year this piece builds on our previous look at Fluid Physiology, which you can find here: https://www.topmedtalk.com/topmedtalk-tom-woodcock/ We also make reference to the book “Fluid Physiology” which is available now, check out the website here: http://fluidphysiology.org/ Tom’s always entertaining twitter feed is here: https://twitter.com/thomaswoodcock Presented by Monty Mythen and Desiree Chappell with their guests Sol Aronson a tenured professor at Duke University and Executive Vice Chairman in the Department of Anesthesiology and Tom Woodcock author and independent consultant in patient safety, medical law and ethics.

Fluid Matters | Series Highlight: Total body water and electrolytes
This piece has been released to coincide with the first virtual International Fluid Academy Day (IFAD). TopMedTalk listeners have enjoyed following the meeting annually for some time now; we’re equally as excited about their online proposition. This piece is a chance to hear a now famous discussion which TopMedTalk recorded at the Peroperative Quality Initiative (POQI) at Washington Duke University in Durham. The discussion is predominately about total body water, electrolytes and the movement of fluid around the body; the idea of circulation of interstitial fluid; the Starling Curve and lymphatics; sodium balance and, at the end, there’s a moment when the speakers agree to disagree about whether saline is “abnormal” or not. If you would like to find out more about IFAD go here: https://www.fluidacademy.org/ 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 Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacology Vrije University in Brussells.
TopMedTalk | What’s your 2020 vision?
What are the big things to watch in 2020? “Renablement, rehabilitation and readmission” from a patient perspective and “training compotence, resillience and ‘burn out,'” from the practitioner’s point of view, according to one of our contributors on this piece. What about Enhanced Recovery, is that still set to be big in 2020? Is it methadone we should be thinking about? Is automation something on our collective horizon? What about the “B word”, “Brexit”; will political change in the UK bring opportunity? The ongoing issue in the US of opioid addiction and overuse is discussed. We also ask if the coming year will spread more light on what it really means to be “ready for surgery”? And, how and what should we be thinking about our profession’s environmental impact?
