1st 'Bernhard Dräger Award For Advanced Treatment Of Acute Respiratory Failure' Awarded To Dr Hermann Heinze
The European Society for Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) has
awarded the first 'Bernhard Dräger Award for Advanced Treatment of
Acute Respiratory Failure' to Dr Hermann Heinze, from the Clinic for
Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the Schleswig-Holstein
University Hospital. The research prize, which is worth 15,000 Euros and was
donated by Dräger, was presented during the Society's annual
conference.
Prof Dr V. Marco Ranieri, President of the ESICM, and Dr. Daniel de Backer,
Chairman of the ESICM research committee, awarded the prize together with
Frank Ralfs, the leading product manager for respirators at Dräger. This
annual
prize was created to support research projects relating to intensive care
medicine that are dedicated to the progressive treatment of acute
respiratory
insufficiency.
This year the focus was on improving respiration therapy using
non-invasive monitoring, and Dr Heinze was awarded the prize to investigate
the 'Functional residual capacity guided alveolar recruitment strategy in
patients
with acute respiratory failure after cardiac surgery1' over the next 12
months.
Dr Heinze will measure lung volumes in order to study the extent to which
managing so-called 'recruitment manoeuvres2' can contribute towards making
ventilation more effective and cause fewer side effects.
Measuring lung volume
at the bedside, the so-called functional residual capacity (FRC), has only
recently become possible without needing considerable effort. By monitoring
the FRC using electric impedance tomography (EIT) for the first time, it
should
be possible to carry out recruitment manoeuvres in a more targeted manner
since this technique provides a continuous, radiation-free and spatial
depiction
of lung ventilation.
In addition, by analyzing inflammation mediators in blood, the research
project
aims to prove that applied respiratory manoeuvres provide a less harmful
therapy. This is important because inflammation in the lung, and other parts
of
the body, is a widespread side-effect of ventilation and may be one of the
main
causes of high mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure.
The winner
The 36-year-old prize-winner Dr Hermann Heinze works in the Anesthesiology
Clinic at Lübeck University (headed up by Prof Dr P. Schmucker). He will
conduct the research project over the coming year jointly with associate
professor Dr Wolfgang Eichler. According to Daniel de Backer, chairman of
the
research committee of the ESICM, "The scientific committee of the ESICM
chose this project as it investigates promising, non-invasive approaches of
respiratory monitoring, which have the potential to significantly contribute
to
lung protective ventilation".
Origin of the prize
The prize is named after Dr Ing. h.c. Bernhard Dräger (1870 - 1928), the son
of company founder Heinrich Dräger. In just 28 years, he and his father were
awarded 261 German, 443 foreign and 912 utility patents. Bernhard Dräger's
credo was 'invention is an act of imagination, the creation of something new'.
The inventor was also dedicated to science. In 1893 he attended the
Technical
University in Berlin as a guest student for two semesters to study
kinematics,
machine elements, tools, and philosophy. This prize aims to help today's
inventors to dedicate themselves to the advancement of clinical science.
