SCCM Resource Library-The Future of Critical Care Medicine in the Field

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Todd Rasmussen, a vascular surgeon and innovator, delivered the Peter Saffer Memorial Lecture on the future of critical care medicine in the field. He discussed the advancements in endovascular technologies and their potential impact on the management of life-threatening hemorrhage and shock. Dr. Rasmussen emphasized the need for less invasive and more selective approaches to resuscitation, highlighting the development of the REBOA catheter as an example of such an approach. He explained that the REBOA catheter, which is placed endovascularly into the aorta, can be used to control bleeding in patients with severe trauma. Dr. Rasmussen also discussed future trends in this field, including the development of more precise and controlled REBOA catheters, as well as the integration of endovascular technologies with extracorporeal life support. He highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between clinicians and engineers in driving innovation in critical care medicine. Dr. Rasmussen concluded by encouraging the audience to embrace the opportunities for innovation in the endovascular space and to become experts in vascular access and endovascular technologies.
