The research group has been involved in several scientific activities in 2022, including:
  • Covid-19: description of pathophysiology of critical Covid-19 and evaluation of treatments (CIBERESUCICOVID project).
  • Application of personalized medicine for the critically ill patient.
  • Identification of Sepsis biomarkers using the Sepsis Biobank located in VHIR.
  • Use of nanotechnology for early detection of sepsis.
  • Implementation of RCTs for evaluation of new treatments for Sepsis.
  • National leadership on projects of prevention of nosocomial infections.
  • Improvements in the support of the patient with acute respiratory failure: from mechanical ventilation to ECMO.
  • Evaluation of new strategies for advance monitoring of patients with acute respiratory failure.
  • Consolidated collaboration with basic and clinical research groups.
