On European Antibiotic Awareness Day, we highlight the importance of using these medications responsibly and finding innovative solutions to combat this issue.
Hybrids VITA, developed together with Medical Simulator, reproduces different clinical scenarios for training on how to prevent, diagnose and treat possible complications of ECMO, which is a very complex technique.
Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) offers therapeutic options for patients in whom conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques fail to restore the heartbeat.
