Knowledge of applied physiology makes you a better intensivist – Prague

LIVES Physiology, 06-08 February 2020, Prague Congress Centre
Knowledge of applied physiology makes you a better intensivist
The overarching objective of this conference was to emphasise the importance and understanding of physiology when solving daily clinical problems.
In the magical setting of Prague, leading experts from around the world reviewed key physiology concepts – from basic level to the depth required to manage complex and real cases of critically ill patients. The conference included frontal lectures, real-case-based participative meetings in small groups and interactive learning with simulation. This event was of value to practising intensive care clinicians, who wanted to refresh and deepen their understanding of physiology.
