MESSAGES
Intensive care had its beginning during the Polio epidemic of 1952 at Copenhagen
when patients were shifted to a common location for purpose of ventilation. Since
Dr. NALLA G PALANISWAMI
then we have come a long way. However Intensive care management of Pulmonary
Chairman
problems still occupies an important position in the management of Critically ill patients. Keeping this in mind, the department of Critical Care Medicine is organising
an update in Pulmonary Critical Care on the November 8th & 9th, 2014.
During the Programme, various common pulmonary problems requiring intensive
care management will be discussed and current lines of management as well as
recent advances will be deliberated. I wish the organizing committee all the very best
in order to make this endeavor a grand success.
Greetings
It’s my pleasure to invite you all for the 9th ICU Update. We had an overwhelming response and
very good feedback from participants of previous CME’s, which kept our enthusiasm to conduct
regular CMEs for past 8 years. Critically ill patients are admitted with Pulmonary problems (or)
develop major Pulmonary problems like pneumonia, Pulmonary Embolism and ARDS during their
ICU stay. Keeping this in mind we have kept Pulmonary Critical Care as theme for this year ICU
Update.
November 8th we have a CME & Workshop for Paramedics focusing on how to take care
of patients on Mechanical Ventilation. It focuses on various basic issues like Basic Ventilator

settings, Monitoring of patients on Mechanical Ventilation, Suctioning, Humidification, Aerosol
therapy, Nutrition and Weaning.
November 9th we have a CME Programme on Pulmonary Critical Care. Course objective is to review Critical Care subjects
of major Clinical importance together with current approach to diagnosis and management. The topics include, Interpretation
of Chest X-Ray, Arterial Blood Gas analysis, Respiratory Failure, COPD, ARDS, Pulmonary Embolism, Ventilator Associated
Pneumonia and difficult weaning. Evidence based presentations are designed to inform and inspire participants to improve
the newly acquired knowledge into their daily practice.
It will be very useful to Intensivists, Pulmonologists, Anesthesiologists, Post Graduates and Paramedics.
Looking forward to see at the ICU Update 2014.
