Advancing Knowledge in Respiratory Care: Global Webinar with Prof. Marcelo Amato

Nihon Kohden Europe recently hosted an international webinar dedicated to one of the most relevant topics in modern intensive care: Impact of Driving Pressure During Spontaneous Breathing on Patient Mortality. This virtual event brought together clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world to explore emerging scientific insights and the latest technological advancements in mechanical ventilation.

The session featured Prof. Marcelo Amato, a globally recognized expert from the Faculdade de Medicina – University of São Paulo, Brazil. His pioneering work in respiratory physiology and protective ventilation strategies has shaped contemporary approaches to patient care, making his participation an invaluable opportunity for the global critical care community.

Key Focus: Driving Pressure and Patient Outcomes

During the lecture, Prof. Amato examined the growing body of evidence linking driving pressure during spontaneous breathing to clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. He highlighted how subtle variations in respiratory mechanics can significantly influence lung stress and strain—factors increasingly recognized as predictors of mortality.

The session concluded with a live Q&A, allowing attendees to engage directly with Prof. Amato and discuss practical implications for bedside care.

By combining scientific expertise with cutting‑edge engineering, Nihon Kohden continues to empower clinicians with tools that enhance decision‑making and elevate the standard of care in intensive care units worldwide.

A Shared Commitment to the Future of Intensive Care

This webinar underscored the importance of global collaboration in addressing the evolving challenges of respiratory and critical care medicine. Through open dialogue, shared knowledge, and continuous innovation, the healthcare community moves closer to shaping a more resilient and technologically advanced future for patient care.

Nihon Kohden Europe extends its appreciation to all participants and looks forward to welcoming the community to future educational events.
