Analysis of the microcirculation is currently performed offline, is time consuming and operator dependent. The aim of this study was to assess the ability and efficiency of the automatic analysis software CytoCamTools 1.7.12 (CC) to measure microvascular parameters in comparison with Automated Vascular Analysis (AVA) software 3.2. 22 patients...

Objective:Anesthesiologists play a pivotal role in mass-casualty incidents management. Disaster medicine is part of the anesthesiologist's core skills; however, dedicated training is still scarce and, often, it does not follow a standardized program.Methods:We designed and delivered a crash course in disaster medicine for Italian anesthesiology...

Medical emergencies can occur anywhere. Children and youth are vulnerable to accidents requiring first aid assistance, despite caregivers are often untrained. An efficient way to teach first aid is through medical simulation so that trainees can familiarize with procedures in a riskless environment. Research studies showed that simulation is...

Simulation is a powerful learning tool, as it allows gaining direct experience in a controlled and repeatable way. However, the simulation is effective when it is able to reproduce the real conditions and when the user feels him/herself immersed and present in the situation. With the aim of improving these critical points, we propose an...

Shock is defined as a state in which the circulation is unable to deliver sufficient oxygen to meet the demands of the tissues, resulting in cellular dysoxia and organ failure. In this process, the factors that govern the circulation at a haemodynamic level and oxygen delivery at a microcirculatory level play a major role. This manuscript aims...
