El Servei de Medicina Intensiva ha acullit, per segon any consecutiu, l’estada d’un grup de fellows de la Societat Europea de Medicina Intensiva (ESICM) que realitzen formació avançada en insuficiència respiratòria aguda i ventilació mecànica. Aquest any, l’hospital ha acullit un total de 7 participants, procedents d’Espanya, Aràbia Saudita, Palestina, Letònia i Bulgària.🩺🌎

🏥 Durant els darrers dos mesos, l’#hbellvitge ha acollit la primera edició del Curs d’Atenció al Pacient Neurocrític adreçat específicament a professionals residents. 
El curs ha combinat una part teòrica virtual amb una part pràctica presencial, que ha inclòs tallers a l’aula de simulació, sessions de neurofisiologia i ecografia.👌

Legacy of Prof. Gattinoni, pioneering advances in critical care & integrating physiology into practice:
🫁 baby lung: concept redefining #ARDS as condition characterized by reduced functional lung volume, leading to lung-protective ventilation strategies
☢️ physiologic effects of PEEP & how to set it: his work on PEEP advanced understanding of lung aeration, atelectasis, recruitment, highlighting role of CT imaging in research
🩺 prone position: physiological benefits & clinical implications of a life-saving intervention
⚙️ mechanical power: unifying metric for VILI

🫁#ARDS severity based on oxygenation impairment does NOT reflect respiratory mechanical properties & MV setting, VILI prerequisites/determinants. Respiratory support should be tailored more closely to lung mechanics/CO2 clearance rather than oxygenation🔓https://t.co/qxouoWB5Zb
