ICS Spring Meeting 2010 Blog
Over the next two days I will be attending the annual ICS Spring Meeting, which this year is being held in Leeds at the Royal Armouries. Through this blog I will hopefully provide a flavour of the meeting and highlight any interesting points that come up. The meeting has two parallel sessions for most of the 2 days; clearly I will only be able to comment on the one that I choose to go to! I’ll also be going to the annual dinner dance, so there may be a (censored) report from that too..
The meeting featured seminars on the following subjects:
- Sepsis and infection
- Towards zero nosocmial infections in ICU
- Morbid obesity and the malnourished patient in the ICU
- What have we learnt from swine flu?
- Pro con debates including large vs. small ICUs' and the use of ECMO in ALI refractory hypoxamia
