We live in a time where we have so many tools and parameters to measure, and we must use this information to decide on the best therapy for our patients. As Professor Lichtenstein points out in his book, there are indeed a multitude of variables, but in the end, it often comes down to just three key choices. My name is Dr. Paul Elbers, and I'm an intensivist at VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam. My talk at IFAD focuses on how to consolidate ultrasound into your ICU practice. After completing a basic ultrasound course, many clinicians find that not everyone in their institution agrees they are qualified to use it independently. That's why I strongly advocate for formal certification—not only to validate your skills, but also to avoid legal or professional complications down the line. This is my fifth time attending IFAD in Antwerp, and I want to extend my congratulations to Dr. Van Regenmortel and Dr. Manu Malbrain for consistently organizing such a high-level, engaging congress. Ultrasound and fluid therapy remain hot topics in critical care, and I'm confident they will continue to be for years to come. I'm already looking forward to the sixth edition of IFAD.
