The theme of the conference was “STRENGHTHENING EMERGENCY CARE- HOLDING HANDS TOGETHER AND SAVING LIVES”. This deeply resonates with the need for constant improvements and adaptations in evolving EM. We were fascinated to have renowned speakers from all across the country who shared their insights and experiences. The program covered a wide range of topics, from fundamental resuscitation science to cutting-edge procedures adding to recent advent in ED procedures like REBOA TEE Hemofiltration & ECMO. This conclave held in two streams – Basic Stream, for undergraduates, Interns and paramedics and Advanced stream, for post-graduates and consultants.
On day 2 hands on workshop was conducted in two streams. The topics and workshops were designed in such a way that it ensured Hands-On skills through AI simulation mannequins and case-scenarios. The conference was attended by around 200+ participants from all over South India. Both the conference and workshops were well received by all the participants.
Some of the highlights of the conference were Aviation Medicine, Artificial Intelligence integrated ventilation, Wilderness medicine, cutting edge discussions on Hemo-dialysis, Trauma simulation, ECMO and dedicated HANDS-ON demonstration on Transoesophageal echocardiogram.
