Το 20ό Πανελλήνιο Συνέδριο Εντατικής Θεραπείας (Αθήνα, 26–29 Νοεμβρίου 2025, Μέγαρο Διεθνές Συνεδριακό Κέντρο Αθηνών) επιβεβαίωσε κάτι που όλοι όσοι δουλεύουν σε ΜΕΘ γνωρίζουν καλά: η κλινική αριστεία δεν είναι μόνο θέμα γνώσης και εμπειρίας, αλλά και θέμα ροής πληροφορίας—δηλαδή, το να φτάνει το σωστό δεδομένο στον σωστό άνθρωπο, την κατάλληλη στιγμή.
