A group of doctors from Spain, led by Professor Jose Maria Calvo Vecino, presented the findings from their 450 patient multi-centre randomised controlled trial to doctors attending Euroanaesthesia 2016 in London, the annual meeting of the European Society of Anaesthesia. The trial was undertaken in five hospitals and included patients undergoing gastrointestinal, urological, gynaecological and orthopaedic surgery.

The trial, the first completed multi-centre randomised controlled trial of ODM during surgery, showed:

  • 72% reduction in total number of complications from 198 to 56 (p<0.01)
  • 45% reduction in number of patients suffering one or more complications meaning Doppler

    use saved 28 additional patients from suffering any complication at all (15% v 28%: p<0.01)

  • 2 day reduction in median length of stay (p<0.01)
