Panel Discussion 1 Pediatric Intensive Care

Fri. Feb 28, 2014 9:40 AM - 12:00 PM Room 1 (ICC Kyoto 1F Main Hall)

Satoshi NAKAGAWA (Critical Care Medicine, National Center for Child Health and Development, Tokyo, Japan), Cheung Soo SHIN (Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea)

Recent advancement in Pediatric Critical Care will be discussed in the session. Cardiopulmonary support is the fundamental part of critical care. Four speakers from Japan and Korea, two from each country, will discuss on this aspect of pediatric critical care, including the mortality predictors in pediatric ARDS, treatment strategies in refractory hypoxemia, echocardiography role in pediatric critical care, and cardiovascular management of septic shock. Pediatric Critical Care Service is not solely provided by pediatric intensivists in many Asian countries including Japan and Korea, therefore, we hope this session be helpful to understand the pathophysiology and management of the common problems in pediatric critical care not only for pediatric intensivists, but for general intensivists.
