Content

The 4th Annual Advances in Critical Care Conference will feature speakers from the Texas Medical Center and around the country discussing all aspects of critical care.  Topics will include the latest advances in sepsis, ARDS, shock, trauma, and neurocritical care. Join us for cutting-edge discussions on ECMO, mechanical circulatory support, and neuromonitoring. Breakout sessions focusing on ICU systems, team dynamics, and much more.  A number of advances are made in the broad field of critical care each year.  The opportunity to hear from experts in the field, discuss the developments in an informed panel of discussions, and allow for a meaningful audience engagement providing an opportunity for improved patient care.  We look at technological advances that will become routine in the near future. 

This multidisciplinary and multispecialty symposium allows the entire critical care team and care network to engage in a two-day meeting to discuss these topics.  We hope to offer clinicians a better understanding of why they do what they do, evidence-based presentations to modify their existing practice, a collaborative network to share and engage in ideas, and a thirst to acquire new knowledge to improve patient care at their institutions.
