    Switching from controlled to assisted ventilation: evidence, risks, and opportunities in AHRF?

    What are the benefits of moving from controlled to assisted mechanical ventilation in patients with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF)? In this podcast, experts discuss the physiological rationale behind this transition, the potential advantages for patient recovery, and the risks clinicians need to consider. Join us as we explore the latest evidence and practical approaches to optimising ventilatory support in critically ill patients.

    Biomarkers in Severe Infections and Sepsis - Moving from Trials to the Bedside

    Sepsis care is evolving fast. Are you keeping up? Don’t miss this podcast episode, where we explore the latest clinical trials reshaping antibiotic therapy for severe infections, from optimised treatment durations to precision-driven de-escalation strategies. What does this new evidence mean for your day-to-day decisions in the ICU? We then turn to one of the most exciting frontiers in intensive care: biomarkers, and how they are transforming the way clinicians diagnose, monitor, and guide therapy in sepsis. Tune in to gain key insights and practical knowledge to help you bring the science of today directly to the bedside.

    Unmet Needs in PICS: Are We Measuring What Matters?

    What truly matters in recovery after critical illness? In this episode, we explore the unmet needs in Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and question whether current approaches are capturing the outcomes that matter most to patients and families. Join us as we discuss the challenges of measuring physical, cognitive, and psychological recovery after ICU, the gaps that still exist in long-term follow-up, and how intensive care teams can move toward more patient-centred outcomes and meaningful recovery.

    Redefining Precision Nutrition: Where Science Meets the patient’s bedside

    In this episode of the educational podcast, we explore what precision nutrition truly means in intensive care. While the concept is widely discussed in research, many studies remain descriptive or rely mainly on adjusted data, raising important questions about their real clinical impact. Together with the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Prof. Kenneth B. Christopher, we examine how current research can move beyond theory and be translated into meaningful, practical approaches at the patient’s bedside.

    Why does renal recovery from AKI matter to us intensivists?

    Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in critically ill patients and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, the clinical relevance of AKI extends well beyond the acute episode. Renal recovery plays a crucial role in determining long-term patient outcomes, including the risk of chronic kidney disease, long-term dialysis dependence, and overall quality of life after ICU discharge. In this podcast, we explore why renal recovery from AKI is particularly important for intensivists. The discussion addresses different patterns of renal recovery, key factors influencing recovery in critically ill patients, and how ICU management strategies may impact kidney outcomes. Join experts Melanie Meersch and Celine Monard, and hosts Beatrice Brunoni and Thilo von Groote, as they share their perspectives and insights on this important topic in intensive care.
