This is a diverse, exciting and educational program that will both inspire and motivate ICU trainees to become the best they can be whilst in training and practice of intensive care medicine.

Led by ASM Committee member Dr Cara Moore, CICM Trainees can look forward to sessions from local and international subject matter experts on the latest research and best practice in key clinical topics, supported by a diverse range of non-clinical sessions relevant to trainees at all stages. Throughout the Trainee Symposium, there will be opportunities to pose your questions to expert panels of intensivists and College staff.

We sincerely thank Dr Moore for her Symposium planning and co-ordination efforts. A great opportunity to and network with your Trainee colleagues.

"A large international faculty has been assembled to discuss Lung Ultrasound in its purest form, and these speakers will bring their own practice experience to the symposium." - USIG Convenor Dr Cartan Costello. 

 

Our full-day USIG symposium will begin with the fundamentals of lung imaging, explaining in depth the A line, B lines, Z lines and lung aeration scores. No prior knowledge or practical skills are necessary to attend. Using case-based examples, more than a dozen expert speakers are set to present and work through the many practical uses of thoracic ultrasound in the many pathologies met every day in practice.

Open to all ASM delegates, the ICU Update of 2025 will be held on Wednesday the 28 May.

 

As in previous years the program aims to provide practicing Intensivists contemporary knowledge on a selection of topical areas of interest not covered in the main ASM. This year topics will include an expert guide to troubleshooting mechanical ventilator waveforms presented by Professor David Tuxen, and a session on recent clinical trials that should change practice from A.Prof Anthony Delaney. There will also be sessions on contemporary management of burns and of obstetric emergencies.

 

The afternoon will be a series of Airway Management workshops which will give participants the opportunity to complete their CPD specialist high level requirements.
