Abstracts
Review Process
We thank the abstracts submitters and congratulate those selected. We also encourage the authors not selected to resubmit for LIVES 2018 in Paris.
Oral Presentations (6 Best Abstracts)*
Poster Corner 1 - Advanced monitoring during mechanical ventilation
Poster Corner 2 - Monitoring patient - Ventilator interaction
*Abstract Awards
Six best abstracts have been selected by the Conference Committee to win a free registration for one of our forthcoming ESICM events (such as the LIVES 2018, EuroAsia 2019 or LIVES Forum 2019).
Abstract Reviewers
Once again, reviewers, who are top experts from a wide range of areas were tasked with ensuring the highest quality abstracts are selected and organised to create an interesting and varied cutting-edge scientific programme for LIVES Forum 2018 in Madrid.
ESICM recognises and appreciates the important contributions of these busy specialists who offer their expertise and time to ensure that the programme for LIVES Forum 2018 will not only meet, but surpass the scientific heights of past events.
Thank You to this amazing group of intensive care professionals: LIVES Forum 2018 Abstract Reviewers
