Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has become a vital therapeutic option in managing severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) when conventional interventions fail. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) in 2024 and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) in 2023 released updated guidelines addressing the role of VV-ECMO. This article provides an overview of both guidelines, outlining their common ground and key distinctions without evaluating or favoring one approach over another.

Operationsbordssystemer er en veletableret del af moderne kirurgisk infrastruktur. Lær, hvordan deres modulære design opfylder kritiske medicinske krav, muliggør effektive arbejdsgange og viser sig at være en bæredygtig investering i dagens dynamiske sundhedsmiljø.

Moderne operationsstuer er miljøer, hvor hvert minut tæller, og hvor der er meget på spil. Et uventet problem med kritisk udstyr, såsom operationsbordet, kan forstyrre tidsplanerne og endda bringe patientsikkerheden i fare.

Sikkerheden på operationsstuen afhænger af en række faktorer: fra rummets størrelse og indretning til stadig mere sofistikeret medicinsk teknologi og fra hygiejne og logistik til menneskelige faktorer. Samtidig gennemgår traditionel kirurgi store forandringer – højt komplicerede operationsstuer bliver stadig mere relevante. Disse grundlæggende ændringer i operationsstuemiljøet og dermed i arbejdsforholdene kræver løbende tilpasninger for at sikre både patientsikkerhed og beskyttelse af operationsstuens personale.

Dagens hospitaler står over for udfordringen med at kombinere stadig mere komplekse kirurgiske teknikker med stadig mere begrænsede menneskelige ressourcer. Kompromiser med kvaliteten er uacceptable – det er trods alt patienternes helbred, der står på spil. En løsning er at delegere visse opgaver til pålidelig, intelligent teknologi, der kan aflaste det kliniske personale.

In pharmaceutical production, maintaining equipment uptime is essential for operational efficiency and process safety. Particularly in cleanroom environments, unplanned downtime can disrupt workflows, increase overhead costs, and in some cases contribute to delays in drug availability.

In the ever-evolving landscape of medical technology, ensuring the safety and performance of surgical equipment is paramount. The IEC 60601-2-41:2021 (Edition 3) standard sets forth the particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of surgical luminaires and luminaires for diagnosis.

During sterile manufacturing, human operators pose the greatest risk for product contamination. To reduce microbiological and particulate contamination risks, aseptic techniques typically rely on either laminar flow equipment used within a cleanroom environment or barrier technology. Laminar flow equipment includes laminar flow hoods and biosafety cabinets (Class I, Class II, and Class III). Barrier technology includes restricted access barrier systems (RABS) and isolators.

Facing the dual challenge of boosting efficiency and reducing strain of staff, a leading sterilization provider in Japan has digitalized their sterile reprocessing.
