An exemplary top doctor at the Medical University of Vienna passed away

Em. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Otto Mayrhofer-Krammel passed away on June 21, 2024 at the age of 104.

He was known nationally and internationally as the founder of the Austrian Society of Anesthesiology, and in 1963 the first Austrian intensive care unit was established. But what distinguished him from others, apart from his many achievements and honors, was that decades ago he sat down with me, the little inventor, and explained to me how we could technically design our invention using double lumen tubes such as the Carlen tube. It was not yet foreseeable that the Combitube, which was still completely unknown at the time, would develop into a world invention. Unusual: an Austrian inventor is supported in his own country.

As a top representative of the Medical University of Vienna, Prof. Mayrhofer was curious and positive.

We are losing a great man with a great mind and a good heart!
