Innovation in mechanical ventilation goes beyond the machine

ESICM podcast series: The Future of Intensive Care

Mechanical ventilation remains a cornerstone of intensive care, but innovation in this field now extends far beyond the ventilator itself. Today, advances in monitoring, data analytics, decision support systems, and artificial intelligence are transforming how clinicians manage critically ill patients.

How can these technologies help us deliver more personalised and effective care? And where does the real innovation lie—in the machines, the data, or the way clinicians use them?

In this podcast, we explore how innovation is shaping the future of mechanical ventilation and intensive care.
