Stream 1
This session will explore recent advances in respiratory support and mechanical ventilation, bringing together emerging evidence, evolving physiological understanding, and implications for bedside practice. With focus on recent trials and refining individualised approaches to respiratory support, the session will cover:
There will also be a tribute to Professor Luciano Gattinoni, a giant of ARDS, ventilation and critical care medicine, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Luigi Camporota is consultant in critical care and Lead of the Severe Respiratory Failure and ECMO Service at St Thomas’ Hospital. He is a Reader (Associate Professor) in Intensive Care Medicine at King’s College London.
Luigi Camporota is the Chair of the Acute Respiratory Failure Section of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and on the Editorial Board of the American Journal of respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (AJRCCM) and Intensive Care Medicine (ICM). His clinical and research interest is His clinical and research interest in Respiratory failure, ARDS, mechanical ventilation, respiratory monitoring, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R). He has contributed to over 200 published peer-reviewed papers and > 20 book chapters and edited a book in Intensive Care.
Dan Martin is a professor in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine at Derriford hospital and university of Plymouth.
His research interest is focused on oxygen physiology; in particular how humans adapt to low levels of oxygen and the potential harm caused by excessive oxygen. He was involved in a series of research expeditions to high altitude with the Xtreme Everest team defining oxygen physiology near the summit of Mount Everest where they recorded the lowest oxygen levels ever reported in humans. The group is studying the key adaptive processes required to survive such low levels of oxygen through a wide range of studies at various altitudes.
He is currently the chief investigator for the NIHR funded UK-ROX trial and EXAKT study in the UK. UK-ROX trial is investigating if giving a little less oxygen than usual to critically ill patients on a mechanical ventilator will improve their survival. The aim is to recruit 16,500 patients from 100 NHS intensive care units. In the EXAKT study we will be investigating the accuracy pulse oximeters in critically ill patients with different skin tones, to answer a very important question about these essential oxygen monitoring devices.
I am also very interested in exercise and how it can be used to improve clinical outcomes. We have used a tailored exercise intervention to train patients waiting for liver transplantation and I am the co-chief investigator of the NIHR-funded EXALT trial in which we will further evaluate the effect of exercise around the time of liver transplantation. I am also invoked with a study to explore the benefits of exercise programmes in patients awaiting bariatric surgery.
I am the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia academic training coordinator and Royal College of Anaesthetists Bernard Johnson advisor for academic training. I am passionate about promoting academic training for both doctors in training and allied health professionals. I supervise a number of higher degree students including scientists, medical doctors and allied health professionals.
I have been the Editor in Chief of the Journal of the Intensive Care Society for the last four years and sit on the Council of the Intensive Care Society.
In 2015 I was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), for services to the prevention of infectious diseases. This was the result of our work at the Royal Free Hospital in London, caring for patients with Ebola virus disease.
Dr. Grieco was born and raised in Rome, where he completed his M.D. degree and residency program in Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine. He completed a one-year research fellowship at the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s hospital, and currently works in the general ICU of Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli IRCCS and at the Catholic University of The Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy.
His main research interests are noninvasive respiratory support, respiratory mechanics and alveolar recruitment during acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and ARDS
