Preclinical studies precede most clinical trials. They help identify criteria for evaluating human safety, including signs and symptoms that should be monitored closely during early clinical trials.

The importance of these preclinical studies in intensive care medicine starts from developing the new surgical procedures, hands-on training to new medical devices, and prescription drugs.

To have more insights into preclinical research and real examples of translation of such research in clinical practice, ESICM NEXT members Denise Battaglini and Ahmed Zaher have interviewed Dr Marcin Osuchowski, an expert in the field.
