Advancing Academic Research:
At the Forefront of Anesthesia Innovation

About the ESAIC

The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC, formerly ESA) is dedicated to enhancing its expertise in the field of anesthesia and critical care, and contributing to the development and establishment of relevant standards and guidelines in the disciplines of anesthesia, perioperative care, and intensive care. Its official publication, "European Journal of Anaesthesiology", is a leading journal in the field of anesthesiology.

Exploring the Latest Academic Breakthroughs
Transforming Clinical Innovations into Clinical Applications

At the first stop of Mindray Day — an academic exchange program of Mindray PMLS Global Clinical Institute, experts and participants discussed how to improve oxygenation and lung protection in anesthesia and ICU, exchanged cutting-edge academic topics and explored further possibilities for better patient safety. The experts also shared their clinical experience via two on-site simulation-based learning sessions on anesthesia and ICU, passing on innovative techniques and treatments to participants worldwide.

Topic: "Lung Protection"

With the concept of precise lung protection at its core, it requires ensuring patient safety during the intelligent closed-loop ventilation from intubation to extubation, which is the prerequisite for all treatments. Integrated with intelligent clinical decision aids, the ventilators enable the anesthesiologists to accurately identify the respiratory movements in patients, assess pulmonary recuperative properties, and select appropriate treatments. Thanks to the effective data integration across devices, including monitoring, imaging and others, the panel can display more comprehensive patient indicators, providing healthcare professionals with a "God's perspective."

Topic: "Application of HFJV in the Operating Room"
On-site Guidance on ICU Simulation Teaching

Respiratory tract management is a constant theme in anesthesia management. With the advancement of comfort-oriented healthcare, high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is increasingly used in many clinical scenarios, such as shared airway surgery and airway foreign body removal.

On-site Guidance on Anesthesia Simulation Teaching

Controlling the depth of anesthesia in high-risk patients is demanding and heavily reliant on the experience of the anesthesiologist. Accurately assessing the amount of intravenous and inhalation anesthetics remains a clinical challenge. What's more, due to the scattered data, anesthesiologists have to observe the patient's vital signs across various devices to devise drug adjustment strategies. However, this process of adjustment often encounters delays.

On-site sharing of the study "High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) Combined with Oxygen Facemask to Improve Oxygenation", which was published in the first half of 2023 in a top journal in critical care medicine with an Impact Factor of 10.318.

Statistically, about 56% of patients in clinical surgery had insufficient pre-oxygenation, which can lead to hypoxia and other risk situations, especially for high-risk patients with poor oxygen saturation such as bariatric, pediatric, critically ill, or difficult airway. According to research findings, the use of a facemask in combination with high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for pre-oxygenation and asphyxiation in the operating room is highly associated with an increase in minimum end-tidal oxygen (EtO₂) levels within 2 minutes of intubation and a reduction in oxygen saturation. This effect also works for obese patients. This finding may transform into clinical practices, making it the preference for endotracheal intubation in the ICU or anesthesia in the future.

Gathering Expert Knowledge
Seeking Anesthesia Innovation

Mindray unveils its new A7/A5 anesthesia system at Euroanaesthesia 2023 (EA23) at Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow.

Beverly Philip, Professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School, Former President of the International Association for Ambulatory Surgery (IAAS), and Former President of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), attended the unveiling ceremony to inaugurate the new product.

EA23 may have come to an end, but Mindray's innovative anesthesia ecosystem continues to grow. In the future, we will stay connected with outstanding experts and researchers across the globe to jointly break new ground in innovation.
