Host: Dr Cynthia Olotu (Germany)Speaker: Dr Mark Neuman (USA)   Is Shared Decision Making (SDM) applicable in the field of anaesthesiology? In this episode, Dr Mark Neuman discusses, with Dr Cynthia Olotu, the many ways that SDM can be implemented in the anaesthesiologist’s daily practice. They detail how to productively involve your patient and frame these conversations. SDM is not about diluting responsibility but, on the contrary, about strengthening decisions through expanded understanding.  Shared Decision Making tool:https://www.myanesthesiachoice.com/

Host: Prof. Nuzhet Mert Şentürk (Turkey)Speaker: Prof. Massimiliano Sorbello (Italy) Double-lumen tube insertion is a notoriously challenging procedure. Could a video laryngoscope be the solution to all of the anaesthesiologist’s problems? In this episode, Prof. Massimiliano Sorbello reviews, with Prof. Mert Şentürk, the conclusions of the latest study on the topics (DOLVI trial). If video laryngoscopes are a viable option for DLT insertion, what are the evidence and the limitations? Catch a glimpse of the future of thoracic anaesthesiology.

Host: Prof. Jens Meier (Austria)Speaker: Dr Tina Tomić Mahečić (Croatia) In this episode of the ESAIC Podcast, our experts explore the complexities of thrombocytopenia beyond clinical guidelines. They discuss why platelet counts alone can be misleading, the impact of severe anaemia on haemostasis, and the risks of platelet transfusion in conditions such as TTP and HIT. A valuable listen for clinicians seeking a more nuanced approach to platelet management.

Host: Dr Paul McConnellSpeaker: Prof. Gernot Marx In this episode of Challenging Dogmas, our experts question traditional measures of success, explore patient-centred outcomes beyond mortality, and reflect on the roles of technology, data, and institutions in moving towards more holistic perioperative care.

#Value-based HealthcareThe Innovation Village at Euroanaesthesia 2025 hosted a series of riveting discussions about the fast-evolving technologies and practices in the fields of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Once again, it was a meeting space for healthcare professionals, Industry partners, and delegates to discuss this year’s topics: Sustainability, AI & Connectivity, and Value-based Healthcare.  You would not run a marathon without any training, would you?As Dr McKinlay explains, the same logic applies to the patient anticipating surgery. Hence, the importance of implementing preoperative pathways that aptly prepare, especially frailer, patients. Alongside, Dr Sonya McKinlay and Prof. Joana Berger-Estilita, Prof. Mark Coburn discusses the national differences and avenues for improvement in the design of preoperative care.

Host: Dr Sarah Saxena Speaker: Prof. Michael Grocott As a fundamental aspect of the practice of anaesthesiology, haemodynamic monitoring is both routine and often elusive. Prof. Grocott has long been fascinated by this complex intervention. In this episode, he reflects, with Host Dr. Saxena, on the evolution of blood flow monitoring and how new technology might radically change how we manage haemodynamics in the OR. Supported by:Sintetica, BD and Medtronic

Host: Dr Paul McConnell Speaker: Dr Mia Gisselbaek   When a child’s welfare is at stake, emotions tend to run high and conflict may easily arise. In this episode, Dr Paul McConnell discusses with Dr Mia Gisselbaek the ethical and practical dilemmas that you may face when you disagree with your patient’s caretaker. From identifying the key warning signs of tensions to practical tips to diffuse misunderstandings, this episode prepares you to face challenging situations with professionalism and empathy.

Sex and Gender are still under-considered parameters in the field of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. This episode brings together two DEI thought-leaders: Prof. Francesca Rubulotta is joined by Prof. Daniela Filipescu for an eye-opening discussion on the vital importance of inclusivity. Discover how factoring in Sex and Gender at all levels of perioperative care can improve non only patient outcome but team efficiency.

#ConnectivityThe Innovation Village at Euroanaesthesia 2025 hosted a series of riveting discussions about the fast-evolving technologies and practices in the fields of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Once again, it was a meeting space for healthcare professionals, Industry partners, and delegates to discuss this year’s topics: Sustainability, AI & Connectivity, and Value-based Healthcare.   Innovation is happening fast. Too fast?What to do when technology allows us more than we can handle? How to keep all the [technical and human] moving parts connected? Prof. Barak Cohen addresses the promises and challenges of increased connectivity with Dr Eva Rivas Ferreira, Prof. Tom Melvin, and Mr. Pau Imaz Boada.

#Sustainability The Innovation Village at Euroanaesthesia 2025 hosted a series of riveting discussions about the fast-evolving technologies and practices in the fields of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Once again, it was a meeting space for healthcare professionals, Industry partners, and delegates to discuss this year’s topics: Sustainability, AI & Connectivity, and Value-based Healthcare.  Two years after the signing of the Glasgow Declaration, what are the major challenges faced by healthcare practitioners in the implementation of its four pillars for Sustainability? Dr Nicolaas H. Sperna Weiland, Chair of the ESAIC Sustainability Committee, tackles this question with Dr Jane Muret, Dr Patricio González-Pizarro, and Dr Basil Matta.

#Artifical Intelligence The Innovation Village at Euroanaesthesia 2025 hosted a series of riveting discussions about the fast-evolving technologies and practices in the fields of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Once again, it was a meeting space for healthcare professionals, Industry partners, and delegates to discuss this year’s topics: Sustainability, AI & Connectivity, and Value-based Healthcare.  Are the clinicians of tomorrow computer scientists? Behind this cheeky question, lies a number of other, much more practical ones, regarding the integration of AI in the clinical field. Explore these questions alongside Prof. Elena G. Bignami, Kai van Amsterdam, Dr Frédéric Michard, and Andreas Schabbach.
