Absolutely! AI in ICU hemodynamic management is revolutionizing patient care. Enhancing monitoring, predicting deterioration – brilliant steps forward! ⚙️ #AI #Healthcare

🎄 Happy Holidays from Intensive Care Medicine Intensive Care Medicine to everyone celebrating this month! Thanks to our readers, #SoMe followers, authors, editors & reviewers for your support, and for your bedside work in the #ICU!

⚖️ Recognizing unique ethical challenges in #ICU-based research (pts at high risk for adverse events, often unable to consent, relying on surrogates) essential to enhance transparency/understanding among researchers, research ethics committees, public 🔓 rdcu.be/d4S7g

UKにおけるICU心エコー実施体制の調査 96%のICUに心エコー認定医はいるが，1日通して1時間以内に緊急心エコー実施可能な体制が整っている施設はわずか15% 本邦でもNPやレジデントのFOCUSスキル獲得はICU内外での心エコーへのアクセスに大いに貢献してくれるように思います。

📣 Thank you Intensive Care Medicine for sharing our findings with the ICM community. 🫀NEAT-ECHO demonstrated a need to improve UK echo provision & shock care, alongside the potential impact of trainee-led research. TRIC Network 📝 1: bit.ly/3AvjE1O 📝 2: rdcu.be/d47LM
