SGPGIMS Hosts Global Trauma Care Experts

An international conference on emergency medicine, EMPARV, commenced on Thursday, hosted by the Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow. The four-day event brings together a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals for intensive training in advanced trauma care and critical-care skills. Twenty-one hands-on workshops are scheduled over two days, focusing on vital emergency procedures. Participants will gain expertise in areas such as airway management, trauma life support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), point-of-care ultrasound, hemodynamic monitoring, and ventilation techniques.

Further sessions will delve into specialized critical care topics including toxicology, neurological emergencies, sepsis management, and interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECG) and arterial blood gases. The conference also incorporates discussions on bronchoscopy and patient safety protocols. Innovative aspects include sessions dedicated to scientific writing and the integration of artificial intelligence within healthcare, aiming to blend academic knowledge with practical, simulation-based learning. This initiative is expected to foster the sharing of new approaches in emergency and acute care.
