Research led by Professor Dileep Lobo from the Nottingham Digestive Diseases Centre has been recognised for its societal impact in The University of Nottingham's inaugural Knowledge Exchange and Innovation Awards.
The study "Improving patient outcome by optimising perioperative fluid therapy" has helped change radically the way intravenous fluids are prescribed to patients undergoing major surgery and has helped reduce postoperative complications by up to 41% and hospital stay for patients by 3 days, resulting in potential financial benefits of £122 million/year to the NHS.
