welcomes you at the
16th
INTERNATIONAL VICENZA COURSE
ON
CRITICAL CARE NEPHROLOGY
Vicenza – Italy, May 29 - June 1st, 2007
This is a multidisciplinary course sponsored by:
The International Society of Nephrology (ISN)
The European Dialysis and Transplantation Association (EDTA)
The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM)
The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO)
The International Federation of Kidney Foundation (NKF)
The Italian Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care (SIAARTI)
The Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN)
European Dialysis & Transplait Nurses Association/
European Renal Care Association (EDTNA/ERCA)
The
first three International Vicenza Courses on Critical Care Nephrology
were held in 1998, 2001 and 2004.We gathered participants from more than
50 different countries. A series of lectures and panel discussions were
delivered during the three days of each course. The proceedings were published
in a special issue of Kidney International for the first case and in special
books entitled “Blood Purification in Intensive Care “and”
Sepsis, Kidney and Multiple Organ Dysfunction” for the second and
third cases. A widespread consensus on the format of the course and the
timely publication of the proceedings was recorded from the participants
and a remarkably positive feedback was collected from physicians, nurses
and members of the industry of the field. For this reason we decided to
continue to host this course every three years; sufficient time required
in our opinion for a real advancement in technology and scientific knowledge
and a sufficient accumulation of new data. Our task is to put together
specialists from different disciplines in a single scientific event with
a multidisciplinary approach to the critically ill patient with acute
renal failure and multiple organ dysfunction. The scientific quality of
the course and its multidisciplinary nature are guaranteed by the reputation
of the faculty and the endorsement of several international scientific
Societies.We really hope that a large number of delegates will join this
important event which is becoming a classic appointment for the experts
and the physicians who want to receive updated information in the field
of Critical Care Nephrology.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
|
The
scientific program has been designed to offer a comprehensive review
of the most important issues related to the management and care
of the critically ill patient suffering from acute renal failure
and multiple organ dysfunction. The course is intended to be a
valuable educational occasion for beginners and for the experts in the field matching personal experiences with presentations from leading experts, data from current literature with everyday clinical practice and finally new problems and requirements with the most advanced technological innovations. The industry of the field is in fact considered a partner in this project where a continuous osmosis between clinical requirements and technological advances is mandatory. The scientific program includes a complete overview of the problems encountered in the daily clinical practice of specialists in the fields of intensive care, nephrology, surgery, cardiology, gastroenterology and pneumology, seen from a multidisciplinary point of view. The problem of acute renal failure in the critically ill patient and all therapeutic possibilities and interventions will be discussed by worldwide specialists of the field. At the same time, multiple organ dysfunction and sepsis will be debated as part of the complex clinical picture of the critically ill patient. New therapeutic options will be discussed and evidence for current practice will be presented. The program is sponsored by several scientific societies and it has been designed under the auspices of the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI). All the presentations will be collected in a formal publication which will allow participants to better follow the presentations and to prepare possible questions and comments in advance. We wish a fruitful course to all participants and we hope to have covered systematically most of the material in the field of critical care nephrology. |
