2025 ESICM guidelines on circulatory shock and haemodynamic monitoring

This podcast focuses on the new 2025 ESICM guidelines concerning circulatory shock and haemodynamic monitoring. The guest, Dr. Antonio Messina, Chair of the CD Section, discusses the key updates in these directives. Practical approaches to assessing tissue perfusion and haemodynamic status are explored. Mentioned methods include capillary refill time, peripheral perfusion, and combined biological and macrocirculatory parameters. The podcast also examines fluid responsiveness assessment and its role in guiding fluid therapy in patients with circulatory shock. The aim is to provide clinical insights and recommendations from the new guidelines.
