Cardiovascular Management in Sepsis: Improving Cardiac and Vascular Functions
Vasopressin and landiolol are critical therapies for ensuring the vascular and cardiac systems are as close to optimal conditions as possible during septic shock. Better cardiovascular management in septic shock can help improve septic shock management. Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response...

Why Artificial Intelligence is Not Fixing the Problem of Sepsis in the Hospital
The use of Artificial Intelligence in detecting sepsis, AI prediction/detection models and how these healthcare tools need to complement clinical expertise. The potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare has generated significant excitement and discussion. However, it's important to distinguish between the theoretical...

Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Xenios sponsored a lunch symposium at the 16th European Conference on Paediatric and Neonatal Ventilation (EPNV) in Montreux (CH) in May 2023. Matteo Di Nardo (Italy) introduced the audience to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in neonates. Florian Kipfmüller (Germany) presented current knowledge and his experience with ECMO in neonates...

Artificial Intelligence in Anaesthesia and Critical Care - Temptations and Pitfalls
Big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are buzzwords. In this article, we briefly discuss what they mean for anaesthesiologists and intensivists, focusing on existing clinical applications. We are today able to collect and store a considerable amount of patient-related data. These “big” data are typically part...

Individualisation of Mechanical Ventilation in Obstructive Lung Disease: Not All Patients Have ARDS
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma are pathologies par excellence with an obstructive pattern. It is important to understand the fundamentals of mechanical ventilation management in these patients. Therefore, it is crucial to perform proper measurement of respiratory mechanics in patients with obstructive pathology Introduction...

Mechanical Power for Protective Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With and Without ARDS
Mechanical power is an easy bedside tool to guide lung protective ventilation, as it is an index of the energy load applied to the lung during mechanical ventilation and expresses in one formula all the main determinants of ventilator-induced lung injury. Although a threshold value has not already been defined, a mechanical power greater than 17...

Seven Myths of Mechanical Ventilation in Paediatric and Neonatal Patients
In this article, we will examine clinical concepts that have persisted over time, despite advancements in our understanding of physiology and technological innovations that have demonstrated their inapplicability in the routine clinical care of paediatric patients requiring respiratory support. These enduring beliefs have effectively transformed...
