ESICM Talk

Sepsis care is evolving fast. Are you keeping up? Don’t miss this podcast episode, where we explore the latest clinical trials reshaping antibiotic therapy for severe infections, from optimised treatment durations to precision-driven de-escalation strategies. What does this new evidence mean for your day-to-day decisions in the ICU?
We then turn to one of the most exciting frontiers in intensive care: biomarkers, and how they are transforming the way clinicians diagnose, monitor, and guide therapy in sepsis.
Tune in to gain key insights and practical knowledge to help you bring the science of today directly to the bedside.

Is artificial intelligence about to transform the ICU?
In this new episode of the Future of Intensive Care podcast series, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of large language models and their growing impact on intensive care practice. From clinical decision-making and risk recognition to the future relationship between clinicians and AI, what could these technologies really mean for the ICU?
Join Professor John Laffey for a thought-provoking discussion exploring the opportunities, challenges, and future of AI in intensive care medicine.
Discover how new forms of intelligence could reshape the way we care for the sickest patients — and what clinicians need to know now. Listen to the episode!

What does advanced practice really look like in the ICU? In this podcast episode, we are joined by two advanced intensive care practitioners who share their roles, career journeys, and impact within the multidisciplinary team.
Through real-world perspectives, this episode highlights the growing influence of nursing and allied health professionals in intensive care and how their expertise enhances patient outcomes, collaboration, and innovation.
Join us to discover how advanced practice professionals are shaping patient care and redefining teamwork in the ICU.

What truly matters in recovery after critical illness? In this episode, we explore the unmet needs in Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and question whether current approaches are capturing the outcomes that matter most to patients and families.
Join us as we discuss the challenges of measuring physical, cognitive, and psychological recovery after ICU, the gaps that still exist in long-term follow-up, and how intensive care teams can move toward more patient-centred outcomes and meaningful recovery.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare—but what does it really mean for the intensive Care Unit (ICU)? In this episode, we are honoured to welcome Prof. Derek Angus, who explores the challenges of integrating AI into clinical practice, the barriers slowing its adoption in intensive care, and its potential impact on the healthcare workforce.
Will AI replace clinicians, reshape roles, or empower better care? And should every physician become AI-literate?
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of intensive care in the age of AI.
