We need technology to help us—not necessarily to work harder, but to work smarter. I am Yazine Mahjoub from France. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to give a lecture on the right ventricle and how to evaluate right ventricular function using Doppler echocardiography. I emphasized to attendees that while this technique is relatively easy to perform, it does require practice and training, especially in the intensive care setting, where such evaluations are often crucial. My main take-home message was this: In any ICU patient in shock, we must always consider acute cor pulmonale as part of our differential diagnosis. Doppler echocardiography is an extremely useful and accessible tool for assessing right heart function in these situations and can guide important clinical decisions. This congress is especially important because it brings together experts from all over the world, creating a space to exchange diverse perspectives on some of the most serious and complex topics in critical care. These conversations help us broaden our thinking, challenge our assumptions, and ultimately improve how we care for our patients.
