TopMedTalk | A step between a simple monitor and a fully automated system

This piece focuses upon goal directed fluid therapy, with an automated system, for decision support; "a step between a simple monitor and a fully automated system".

The "proof of concept" paper we highlight towards the end of the podcast, "Feasibility of closed-loop titration of norepinephrine infusion in patients undergoing moderate - and high-risk surgery" has now been published and can be found here: https://bjanaesthesia.org/article/S0007-0912(19)30443-X/abstract

This paper here "Perioperative goal directed therapy using automated closed-loop fluid management: the future?" is also referenced: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26578397
