Format: Virtual
Dates: 5-6 October, 2024
This Ecourse, led by a multidisciplinary panel of international experts, aims to prepare participants to manage trauma patients – from the pre-hospital or “ground zero” stage to OR and ICU. It will review foundational surgical and resuscitation strategies and utilise clinical scenarios and live simulations to ensure attendees are up-to-date on the most recent trauma practice. Due to the current uncertain context, the master class will be held virtually, leveraging agile virtual environments and responsive, innovative solutions. Join us in this new adventure!
After registering for the event, ensure you access the pre-course materials available for study in the dedicated online classroom on the ESICM Academy.
