Transpulmonary pressure monitoring is an important part of clinical monitoring for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), COPD, COVID-19,morbid obesity, and other respiratory diseases that require invasive ventilation.

La Centrale di Sterilizzazione è uno dei reparti meno visibili ma più strategici all’interno di un ospedale. Un luogo in cui tecnologia, processi e competenze devono funzionare in perfetta sinergia per garantire sicurezza, efficienza e continuità operativa alle attività chirurgiche. È qui che si incontrano quotidianamente il lavoro degli operatori sanitari e il supporto dei tecnici specializzati delle aziende fornitrici.

Getinge offre molto più che dispositivi medici e soluzioni IT di alta qualità: il nostro obiettivo è instaurare partnership a lungo termine basate sul valore con gli operatori sanitari. Attraverso le partnership per la trasformazione ospedaliera (HTP), collaboriamo strettamente con i team ospedalieri per migliorare i risultati, aumentare l'efficienza e migliorare l'esperienza sia dei pazienti che del personale. Queste partnership vanno oltre la semplice fornitura di attrezzature. Si basano sulla consulenza, sull'impegno a garantire prestazioni e su risultati misurabili in linea con gli obiettivi strategici di ciascun ospedale.

Canceled or delayed procedures are a daily concern for many hospitals. While much attention is paid to surgical scheduling and staffing, the availability and performance of equipment often remain behind the scenes — until something goes wrong. In highly complex clinical environments like the Operating Room (OR), even one piece of unavailable equipment can have ripple effects across the entire day.

On October 16 & 17, Getinge celebrated the 10th anniversary of the European EVH Summit in Frankfurt, Germany. For many years, this educational event has given clinicians from all over Europe the opportunity to meet their peers and discuss the latest developments in endoscopic vessel harvesting (EVH), a minimally invasive technique used to obtain a bypass conduit for coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery.

Hospitals face rising patient numbers and limited staff. To better manage these pressures, several Danish healthcare facilities implemented INSIGHT.

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.

I sistemi sanitari sono sottoposti a una pressione crescente per ridurre il loro impatto ambientale. Il rispetto dei requisiti normativi e la soddisfazione delle aspettative degli stakeholder sono solo alcune delle forze motrici. I profili ambientali dei prodotti (PEP) stanno diventando uno strumento potente, in grado di fornire dati trasparenti e affidabili sulle prestazioni ambientali di un prodotto. Basati su valutazioni complete del ciclo di vita, i PEP aiutano gli ospedali a prendere decisioni di acquisto informate e sostenibili che supportano sia la responsabilità ambientale che le prestazioni finanziarie.

Across healthcare systems worldwide, many hospitals still lack well-established structures to ensure efficient patient flow. The consequences? Increased health risks for patients, mental strain on healthcare workers, and economic losses for healthcare providers. But what causes this?

When is a digital patient flow management system a sensible solution? As a decision-maker and planner, how do I proceed in concrete terms, and what support can I expect from providers such as Getinge? Christian Cordes, Product Sales Manager for hospital IT solutions at Getinge, provides information and practical tips on how to approach this issue.

Deep or shallow, long or short, with larger or smaller volumes – that is how we breathe naturally. Conventional intensive care ventilation cannot fully replicate this variability. With Getinge’s pioneering NAVA ventilation method (NAVA = Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist), patients can control their own ventilation patterns neurally, allowing a more physiological and natural form of mechanical ventilation.

Respiratory failure is one of the main reasons for admission to neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. Many patients experience complications related to mechanical ventilation.
