“30 minutes with…” is the talk format where you can ask all your questions to world-renowned experts in the field of Intensive Care Medicine. In this session, Élie Azoulay, ESICM President-Elect, will engage in conversation with Prof Elisa Estenssoro on critical ICU topics and moderate questions coming from the audience. Prof Estenssoro has led numerous critical care studies in Argentina and South America, primarily focusing on ARDS, sepsis, septic shock, and, more recently, COVID-19. She was the first female president of the Argentine Society of Intensive Care (2008–2010) and is a senior consultant for the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires.
Glenn Hernández is an Intensivist and Full Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, with expertise in systemic and regional perfusion, resuscitation and management of septic shock. He was the Principal Investigator of the ANDROMEDA-SHOCK trial, which compared CRT- versus lactate-targeted resuscitation in early septic shock.
Paul Young is a key member of the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Clinical Trials Group and Deputy Director at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand. He has international experience in the design and conduct of large-scale multicentre RCTs in Intensive Care Medicine and clinical trial science methodology.
Monty Mythen is the Smiths Medical Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care at University College London and Director of the UCL Discovery Lab at The London 2012 Olympic legacy Institute of Sport Exercise and Health. His wide research interests include peri-operative fluid management and trans-oesophageal Doppler, fitness for surgery, heart attack and stroke recovery, metabolism, fluids.
Professor Derek Angus's research interests include clinical, epidemiologic, and translational studies of sepsis, pneumonia, and multisystem organ failure and health services research of the organization and delivery of critical care services. He has led several large NIH-funded multicenter studies in the critically ill, the most recent of which is ProCESS (Protocolized Care for Early Septic Shock), a 40-center study focusing on how to best provide early resuscitation for septic shock. Prof Angus has published several hundred papers, reviews and book chapters, and is currently section editor for “Caring for the Critically Ill” for JAMA.
Sheila Myatra is the President-Elect of the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM). She is the lead author of the first published ICU airway guideline - “Guidelines for Tracheal Intubation in the ICU” and the guideline on “Unanticipated Difficult Tracheal Intubation in Adults”. She conducted the first national sedation survey and is the lead author of the end of life care guidelines for India.
Margaret Herridge is currently Director of the RECOVER Clinical and Research Programme for patient- and family-centred follow-up care after critical illness. She was also co-lead of CANCOV (Canadian multi-centre 1-year follow-up of patients/caregivers after COVID-19).
Mervyn Singer has co-chaired the Sepsis-3 Definitions International Task Force that redefined sepsis in 2016. He developed an oesophageal doppler haemodynamic monitor; moreover, he co-developed the UCL Ventura CPAP device to support the breathing of COVID-19 patients in respiratory failure.
Dr Arthur Kwizera is a member of the Ugandan Ministry of Health scientific Advisory Committee for COVID-19 and chairs a committee tasked with developing the National Intensive Care Strategic Plan to guide the expansion of Uganda’s intensive care capacity to at least 4,000 ICU beds. Together with a team from the University of Cambridge (UK), he is developing a ventilator to be used in hard-to-reach places in the world.
"30 minutes with…" is a new talk format where you have the opportunity to ask any question you might have to world-renowned experts in the field of Intensive Care Medicine. After Prof Luciano Gattinoni and Prof Flavia Machado, this third session features Prof Bellomo challenged on critical ICU topics by ESICM Secretary Lui Forni. Between the years 2014-2018, Professor Bellomo was named one of the world's most influential scientific minds of our time by Clarivate Analytics, identified as "influencing the future direction of their field, and of the world", and "publishing work that their peers recognize as vital to the advancement of their science". He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Critical Care and Resuscitation journal.
“30 minutes with…” is a new talk format where you have the opportunity to ask any question you might have to world-renowned experts in the field of Intensive Care Medicine. After starting with Prof Luciano Gattinoni, this second session was led once more by ESICM President Maurizio Cecconi, who engaged in conversation with Prof Flavia Machado on critical ICU topics. Prof Machado is a leading expert in sepsis: she has served on the board of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines and the International Sepsis Forum (ISF) Council since 2014. She has been involved in the CoDEX randomised clinical trial to determine whether dexamethasone increases the number of ventilator-free days among patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS
“30 minutes with…” is a new talk format where you have the opportunity to ask any question you might have to world-renowned experts in the field of Intensive Care Medicine. This first session was led by ESICM President Maurizio Cecconi, who asked Prof Gattinoni challenging questions on relevant ICU themes, and moderated those coming from the audience. Prof Gattinoni introduced the concept of lung rest by extracorporeal CO2 removal in ARF and promoted the “baby lung” (1980’s), lung recruitability (2000’s) and mechanical power concepts (2016). His research focuses on the pathophysiology and treatment of acute respiratory failure, sepsis and acid-base disorders.
