Medical errors cannot be completely prevented, which makes maximising risk reduction even more important. Stay prepared with our extensive overview of the topic – because each solution is born from a cause.

Obese patients have a higher risk of complications. Get to know why and how you can pay particular attention to the specific needs of their perioperative care. Based on current literature, several methods in ventilation and positioning enable you to downsize the higher risk of complications.

Most critical incidents and many of the perioperative cardiac arrests in paediatric anaesthesia are related to the respiratory system. Anaesthetists face a special challenge in their job ventilating children, newborns and preemies. The conclusions are far from exhausted, yet we’d like to offer further insight into this topic to help you protect your patients.

See how you can fight the threats of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) – which often contributes to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) – by making the invisible visible! Our approach of image-guided lung protection reveals previously unseen ventilation needs and assists with personalised ventilation.

Time pressure, high workloads, increasing paperwork, older and sicker patients, difficult techniques and exploding knowledge in a complex work environment is the other side of the story. How will these two sides of the coin impact patient safety in the future?
