WSACS Sponsors Pre-Symposium Session at 30th ISICEM Meeting in Brussels
The WSACS is sponsoring a pre-symposium course entitled "Second Update on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome" at the ISICEM meeting on March 8th, 2010. Moderated by Manu Malbrain, MD, PhD and Jan De Waele, MD, PhD, the course is designed to be a comprehensive review of current and emerging concepts in intra-abdominal hypertension and the abdominal compartment syndrome for critical care physicians. It will include a combination of didactic lectures on consensus definitions, epidemiology, risk factors, impact on end-organ function, basic and new pathophysiologic principles as well as new and future monitoring and management strategies. It will also include a "hands-on skill station" during the afternoon on intermittent and continuous intra-abdominal pressure measurement techniques. To register, go to www.intensive.org.
This symposium is possible through the generous support of the following sponsors:
Clinical Trials Working Group (CTWG)
The WSACS Clinical Trials Working Group (CTWG) was formed to design and carry out prospective research on IAH and ACS. It represents a major function of the WSACS. Eighteen different study proposals presented at the Third World Congress on the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WCACS) are currently being reviewed by the CTWG. Selected studies will be posted on this website in the coming months and study sites will be solicited.
