Fluid - Matters | Part 4 'The Great American Fluid Debate'

This is an excerpt from 'The Great American Fluid Debate' which was hosted at Duke University Medical Centre's "Controversies in Perioperative Medicine" conference of this year. The debate is framed as "restrictive versus liberal" but, as you'll hear, those terms are questioned by panel members. How do the results of 'The Relief Trial' figure in this debate? Is the pendulum of progress swinging too far - from overly liberal to too restrictive? What can the research and detailed data around these questions tell us?

The two pieces Monty mentions in the podcast, featuring Paul Myles, are found here:
