The Great World Fluid Debate: John Myburgh

Here we feature a central figure in the ongoing Great World Fluid debate. He was sadly unable to attend EBPOM 2018 but we still wanted to get a very important contribution from him. What are the big takeaways from some of the larger trials such as Saline versus Albumin Fluid Evaluation (SAFE)? What about the long term implications of Crystalloid versus Hydroxyethyl Starch Trial (CHEST)? What new trials should be on the horizon - given the information we now have? Monty Mythen speaks with his guest Professor John A Myburgh, Intensive Care Medicine, University of New South Wales; Director of the Division of Critical Care and Trauma at the George Institute for Global Health and Senior Intensive Care Physician at the St George Hospital, Sydney. He holds honorary Professorial appointments at the University of Sydney and Monash University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine.
