Join us for an important report by Pr. Luciano Gattinoni on managing critical parameters of
ventilatory support for COVID-19 patients. As a researcher and a mentor to clinicians
across Europe, Pr. Gattinoni has a unique, comprehensive perspective on COVID-19 care.
In this webinar, he will share his observations of the disease as well as basics on how to
ventilate a COVID-19 patient. A live Q&A session will follow this webinar presentation.

He is world-renowned for inventing the “Extracorporeal CO2 Removal” technique in acute respiratory failure,
promoting the “baby lung” model of lung injury (1980’s) and identified mechanical power variables to assess
risks of mechanical ventilation (2016). He has previously served as President for the Italian National Society of
Anesthesia and Intensive Care, the European Society of Intensive Care, and the World Federation of Societies
of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine.
His research focuses on the pathophysiology and treatment of acute respiratory failure, sepsis, and acid base
