Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adrian Gelb on Neuroanesthesia, Global Patient Safety, and WFSA-WHO International Standards
Q: Can you tell us a little more about yourself and how you arrived at neuroanesthesia?
Gelb describes a career path from Cape Town to Canada, where exposure to ICU and operating room environments led him to neuroanesthesia, initially with reluctance but eventual fascination through hands-on collaboration with neurosurgeons.
The Challenges of AI in Healthcare: A Conversation with Dr. Joe Alderman
Q: Fantastic. First of all, Joe, before we get into the AI question specifically, can you tell us a bit more about what made you make that switch perhaps?
I moved into AI and digital healthcare opportunistically after seeing a PhD opportunity that aligned with my interests, and I joined a team with mentors who supported that shift, ultimately focusing on governance, regulation, and policy to ensure AI technologies benefit patients and society while protecting them from harm.
Insights from ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025: Surgical Site Infections, Oxygen Therapy, and Thermoregulation
Q: What are some of the thresholds that we're looking at for temperature management?
Current recommendations suggest aiming for at least 36 degrees Celsius, especially during the intraoperative period.
Advancing Perioperative Screening
Q: What are the challenges to doing it well, and what sort of work have you all been doing at looking at ways to try and improve that process?
Challenges include funding, communication barriers with primary care, and implementing effective digital solutions for timely patient assessments.
Advancing Perioperative Screening
Q: Why is screening such an important part of our work in perioperative care?
Screening is critical for identifying which patients need more intensive care and which can proceed with less intervention, helping manage resources effectively and minimize surgical delays.
