Learning objective:
- Become a better bedside doctor
- Never be surprised by your patient’s blood gas ever again
- Meet world-renown experts in the field
- Truly master acid-base at the bedside
- Supported by many interactive clinical cases
- Bicarbonate Rules, Base Excess, Stewart, Mixed approaches
Background: The ACID-BASE Masterclass provides a full-day, interactive course on acid-base knowledge and understanding. The course uses a variation of theoretical presentations, practical and case presentations sessions presented by an international faculty. It is the only course in Belgium to be endorsed by the International Fluid Academy and has previously been accredited by the EACCME for 8 points. The course includes all course materials, food and drinks at the Hilton Old Town, Groenplaats 32, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet, greet and ask questions regarding all topics presented.
Target Audience: This course is for you if you practice clinical medicine and if you frequently need to analyze blood gas results. This applies to consultants and residents in intensive care medicine, anesthesiology, emergency medicine and internal medicine. However, anyone with an interest in acid base medicine is welcome to attend.
Overview and objectives: The course will start by refreshing core topics in acid base medicine. Then we will quickly move towards full and complete understanding of acid base medicine. There is a strong focus on bedside clinical interpretation of blood gas results and the course is supported by real clinical cases throughout. Following completion of this course acid base medicine well be completely demystified to you and you will be able to solve the most complex acid base challenges at the bedside with ease.
