4th International Fluid Academy Days
Nov 27-29th 2014, Antwerp, Belgium.
Introducing the International Fluid Academy
A neglected topic for way too long, the interest in fluid therapy seems to be quickly rising as the medical community is making a shift from looking at fluids as a mere method of stabilization towards the appreciation of its relevant side effects.
Many questions remain to be answered indeed:
Is the upgrade from saline 0.9% to balanced crystalloids worth the extra cost?
Does HES still have a place in the OR or ICU
Do we have to fill the gap left by HES on ICU with crystalloids, other colloids or even albumin?
Is it really impossible to avoid fluid overload by using only crystalloids?
Is there still a definitive place for human albumin?
How do we treat and monitor specific patient populations, like patients with trauma, liver failure, brain edema and right heart failure among others?
How do we avoid a one-size-fits-all regimen in perioperative goal-directed therapy?
What with the fluids beyond resuscitation?
And what do the authors of the big fluid trials in real life themselves?

The Great World Fluid Debate 2012
May 14, 2012
Wednesday 4th July 2012
World renowned faculty includes:
John Kellum
Dileep Lobo
John Myburgh
Tim Miller
Monty Mythen
Rupert Pearse
Topics include:
The Endothelial Glycocalyx and fluid kinetics - was Starling wrong?
Peri-operative fluid balance, “maintenance –vs-replacement-vs resuscitation”
Fluid management in critical illness: “early vs later vs late”. Theories and practice
Current views on peri-operative “optimization” vs “enhanced recovery”
Fluid resuscitation, acid-base balance, and risk for AKI in critically ill patients —a ten-year retrospective.
Treating pre-operative Anaemia – REAL optimization
The CHEST study (a randomized controlled trial of 0.9% Sodium Chloride vs HES 130/0.4 in saline for resuscitation in 7,000 critically ill patients in Australia and new Zealand)
This House Believes: The Great Fluid Debate:
Saline should only be used for carefully selected cases
Colloids – do we need them?
