My name is Frédéric Michard, and I am responsible for the global medical strategy at MiCo Critical Care division. In addition to this role, I serve as a visiting doctor at the University Hospital of Lausanne. I'm truly pleased to be here today to discuss a topic that is both clinically relevant and impactful—fluid optimization in high-risk surgical patients.
We know from both clinical experience and growing scientific evidence that optimizing fluid therapy is one of the simplest and most effective strategies to enhance postoperative outcomes. When carefully tailored to a patient's individual needs, fluid management can reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and ultimately improve survival rates. Despite its simplicity, fluid optimization remains underutilized, and raising awareness of its value is crucial to improving care for surgical patients worldwide. Thank you.
