“30 minutes with…” is a new talk format where you have the opportunity to ask any question you might have to world-renowned experts in the field of Intensive Care Medicine.

This first session was led by ESICM President Maurizio Cecconi, who asked Prof Gattinoni challenging questions on relevant ICU themes, and moderated those coming from the audience.

Prof Gattinoni introduced the concept of lung rest by extracorporeal CO2 removal in ARF and promoted the “baby lung” (1980’s), lung recruitability (2000’s) and mechanical power concepts (2016).

His research focuses on the pathophysiology and treatment of acute respiratory failure, sepsis and acid-base disorders.
