2 Bringing the home to the hospital - The Intensive Care environment Building on the theme from this year s Vismed Keynote speech, Dr. Gómez-Tello will broaden the discussion and debate from different sides of the equation around where a humanized approach can enhance actual patient-centred care, providing positive deviations to hospital costs and shortening patient stays. What impact does this have when planning our Intensive Care departments? He will take us through the main factors, all of which have been extensively researched. Dr. Vicente Gómez-Tello PhD. Md. (Medical Assistant in Intensive care Unit Head of Intensive Care, University Hospital Moncloa, Madrid) Dr. Gómez-Tello is currently working as an Intensivist in Hospital Clínica Moncloa, and is also Professor within the Simulation Centre in the University of Medicine of Universidad Europea in Madrid. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr Tello is also responsible for the Architectural Workplace Design team within the previously mentioned Proyecto HU-CI group. Infection vs Design. What more can be done? Every year, many lives are lost to Hospital acquired infection - what can we do? What points must be considered in planning our critical care environments? What are the real benefit factors? In his role as research manager at the Centre for Healthcare Architecture (CVA) Göran Lindahl focuses on planning of hospitals and other health care facilities. Concurrently, he is working on the theme hospitals after anti-biotics. Join us to learn more about this vitally important topic.

3 Changing care practices within ICU what are the environmental impacts? Laura Kristine Bech (Specialist Acute Care Nurse / Studying Master of Science in Health Science, Copenhagen University) With clinicians focused on patients being more quickly released from the ICU, this leads to employing practices that deliver less sedation, as well as moving from multiple room units into single rooming. Therefore patient safety is becoming much more significant in planning and design of the ICU. Laura Bech will focus on the various trends and scientific discussions currently in hot debate - which in themselves create major Intensive Care Unit planning challenges.put these together, and we need to look at how we can manage to keep patients safe, even from themselves when they are not themselves; whilst at all times ensuring the highest standards of care. During this session, we will discuss practical scenarios and solutions and what the implications are for modern planning & design. Laura Kristine Bech is a specialized Acute Care Nurse with extensive experience working in major hospitals within the Nordic countries. Before starting her current studies as a Master of Science in Health Science at the Copenhagen University she was training on research and implementation methods at the University Heart Centre in Copenhagen. Bringing the home to the hospital - The OR environment Operating Room environments are changing due to the increasing use of Intravenous and Local Anaesthesia usage and ideas such as OR Barn concepts. During this session, John Cooper will look at the development of Operating Theatres in particular how and why the infrastructure designs and processes have changed over time. The focus will be on improving staff working and patient environments. John Cooper, Architect RIBA,ARB (Director John Cooper Architecture / Chairman Architects for Health, UK.)

He has been involved in four major cancer care hospital projects and is a published author on this particular design field. He is a regular speaker at conferences in the UK and overseas, as well as writing for the many major architectural journals in the UK.

4 Surgical imaging today and tomorrow As surgical imaging is part of all Critical care environments, here our speakers will take a look at the considerations of technology which has developed dramatically since initial introduction. Today, this technology offers previously undreamt of pre and perioperative support. This session will include dual approaches: Prof Clemens Bullitta will go briefly through the historical background of imaging, then take us through the ultra-modern robotic high-resolution and communitive technology available today - building a vision to the future. Dr Charpentier and Mr Kuhn will present the new hybrid operating room at the INCCI Luxembourg which combines the characteristics of a conventional cardiac surgery operating theatre with those of an interventional cardiology room. This newly constructed room is equipped with the latest multi-axis design of the Siemens X-ray machine, the Artis Zeego, which uses robot manipulator arm technology, well known in the automotive industry. It is also equipped with multimodal imaging technology, integrating information from different imaging sources and greatly facilitating the work of the operator. The INCCI is thus equipped with a modern tool that allows it to follow the trend towards a less invasive approach - bringing together cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists in common procedures. During this session, they will take a closer look at the fundamental questions which they have dealt with in the planning and construction phases. About the speakers: Prof. Dr. med.
