ECMO for severe ARDS: Navigating global guidelines

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.

Ergonomi på arbetsplatsen och patientpositionering i fokus

Säkerheten i operationssalen (OR) beror på en mängd faktorer: från rummets storlek och utformning till alltmer sofistikerad medicinsk teknik, och från hygien och logistik till mänskliga faktorer. Samtidigt genomgår traditionell kirurgi stora förändringar – högkomplexa operationssalar blir alltmer relevanta. Dessa grundläggande förändringar i operationssalsmiljön, och därmed i arbetsförhållandena, kräver lämpliga anpassningar för att säkerställa både patientsäkerhet och skydd för operationssals personalen.

Selecting the right equipment for aseptic processing

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.
