Speaker: Prof. Gernot Marx

In this episode of Challenging Dogmas, our experts question traditional measures of success, explore patient-centred outcomes beyond mortality, and reflect on the roles of technology, data, and institutions in moving towards more holistic perioperative care.

#Value-based Healthcare
The Innovation Village at Euroanaesthesia 2025 hosted a series of riveting discussions about the fast-evolving technologies and practices in the fields of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Once again, it was a meeting space for healthcare professionals, Industry partners, and delegates to discuss this year’s topics: Sustainability, AI & Connectivity, and Value-based Healthcare.

You would not run a marathon without any training, would you?
As Dr McKinlay explains, the same logic applies to the patient anticipating surgery. Hence, the importance of implementing preoperative pathways that aptly prepare, especially frailer, patients. Alongside, Dr Sonya McKinlay and Prof. Joana Berger-Estilita, Prof. Mark Coburn discusses the national differences and avenues for improvement in the design of preoperative care.

As a fundamental aspect of the practice of anaesthesiology, haemodynamic monitoring is both routine and often elusive. Prof. Grocott has long been fascinated by this complex intervention. In this episode, he reflects, with Host Dr. Saxena, on the evolution of blood flow monitoring and how new technology might radically change how we manage haemodynamics in the OR.
