R. Droh Ladies and gentlemen. dear friends and colleagues. we welcome you very cordially to our symposium "Innovations in Management and Technic and Pharmacol ogy". We are very glad that you have come to Liidenscheid and we do hope that our programme will fulfil your expectations. We decided to hold this symposium, because it is getting more and more dif ficult to select innovations at international congresses around the world which are important for our clinical work. Now and in the future our intention is to present the actual state of technology. management and pharmacology. We would be very glad to receive your suggestions for further symposia. The industry has the same problems as we have. They do not only have to search for those things which can be realized and which are desirable, but also for those things which can be sold. But the industry must also be stimulated by the inventors and by the users, so we want to bring together the industry, the physicians and the inventors for fruitful discussions. And we hope that in the fu ture the industry will provide us more quickly with those technical and organiz ational aids that we need. We want the indu~try no longer running behind the market but heading the market. At present too many interesting developments are killed by so-called market analysis, in the beliefing that such analysis can always prove what cannot be sold. In anaesthesia many companies are always busy with the same product.

The editors of this book provide a forum for discussion on innovations in clinical applied physiology, the technology and management of anaesthetics, and the non-invasive monitoring of neuro-vegetative functions. Attention is focused on new physiological concepts of cardiovascular and respiratory control, with an innovative approach to the analysis of the neurovegetative state in man and its clinical application. New developments in the closed circuit anaesthesia system via infrared-spectrometry and oxymeters as well as breath-by-breath monitoring of gas-uptake are demonstrated, and new insight into the physics of circulation is given. Topics in the final chapters cover haemodilution with blood substitutes, new inhalant anaesthetic agents, imaging technique highlights, and new data on metabolism in multiple organ failure.
