Viva Stems

  1. Quote Hahn's volume-kinetics numbers — what fraction of crystalloid stays intravascular during versus 30 minutes after infusion? [1]
  2. Michard studied whom, and what 13% threshold with what sensitivity/specificity? Why can you not quote it for elective cases? [2]
  3. OPTIMISE: 734 of whom, where, what algorithm, what primary numbers including the p-value? [3]
  4. RELIEF: 3,000 of whom, what volumes, what disability-free and AKI numbers? [4]
  5. What does Older's CPET review actually own — and what numbers does it not carry? [5]
  6. Warm vasodilated hypotension after induction — pressor or litre, and why? (Taught.)
  7. Oliguric but euvolaemic on flow monitoring — walk me through the no-auto-bolus logic. (Taught.)
  8. Why is HES not routine, and what is the crystalloid default? (Taught; Hahn persistence 2–3 h for colloids.[1])
