ICSM Group News & Updates

Keep up to date with the latest news from the ICSM group!

ESICM Congress - October 2025

Hossein recently attended the annual congress of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine in Munich Germany, presenting his work on the role of respiratory rate and flow rate on CO2 clearance for patient's receiving HFNC.

PLUG - September 2025

Liam, Sina, and Will recently attended the 3rd PLUG working group meeting in Barcelona! The three not only had the chance to hear from leading experts in mechanical ventilation and share their work, but also found time to enjoy some Paella by the sea!

Publication Update - September 2025

Congratulations to Will and Beatrice on the publication of their first paper of their PhDs in Critical Care Medicine! The study uses digital twins based on patient data to assess the risk of lung injury in airway pressure release ventilation when compared to pressure control ventilation.

IEEE Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Conference - July 2025

Declan, Liam, Sina & Hossein recently attended the 47th IEEE EMBC conference in Copenhagen, with Liam presenting a poster on Mechanical Power in NIV and Sina presenting work on automating mechanical ventilation settings. A fantastic opportunity to share some of the work the group has been doing, see what's going in within biomedical engineering, and to catch up with collegues and friends from the University of Catanzaro.

Publication Update - July 2025

Huge congratulations to Hang on the publication of his most recent work in Intensive Care Medicine. The study Link opens in a new windowdemonstrates the power of using a TabPFN machine learning model for the early prediction of NIV outcome in patients with acute respiratory failure. See the University's press releaseLink opens in a new window for more info!

Respiratory Care Convention - July 2025

Members of the ICSM team recently attended the Fisher & Paykel Respiratory Care Convention in Nottingham. It was great to hear from leading clinicians and physios about the advancements being made in non-invasive respiratory support, both within the hospital environment and at home too. Huge congratulations to Hang for winning the best poster prize (with Hossein coming in a close second), marking 3 consecutive wins for the group at the event (Liam 2023, Hossein 2024)!

Outbreaks in Pulmonology - March 2025

Prof. Declan Bates, the group lead, was invited to open this year's Outbreaks in Pulmonology conference in Modena, Italy.

Publication Update - March 2025

Congratulations to Hang on the publication of the first paper of his PhD in Critical Care. The study compares cutting edge machine learning methods with current clincial scores and indices to predict the outcome of high flow nasal cannula therapy in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

Publication Update - January 2025

Congratulations to Hossein on the publication of the first paper of his PhD in Respiratory Research. The study utilises mechanistic computational modelling to quantify the airway pressures generated by high flow nasal cannula in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

ESICM Congress - October 2024

Liam and Sina recently attended the annual European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) congress, networking with industrial and academic partners, and listening to leading clinicians discuss the latest in intensive care research. It was great to see some of our studies highlighted by Prof. John Laffey in his talk to the congress!
