The Post-Graduate Lung Recruitment Workshop at the Academic University Hospital in Uppsala was
attended by a broad range of anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians from many countries
around the world. One of the most appreciated sessions was a lecture by Professor Göran Hedenstierna,
Professor of Clinical Physiology and head of the hospital Nuclear Department. Professor Hedenstierna
is well known to the global anesthesia and intensive care communities, having conducted substantial
research in anesthesia, lung mechanics and regulation of vascular tone for many years. Critical Care News
met Professor Hedenstierna to discuss his lecture topics of lung collapse and airway closure.
