Hilton Old Town Congress Centre, Antwerp, Belgium
We are very pleased to announce the 13th International Fluid Academy Days, which will take place on November 23-25th 2023 at the Hilton Old Town Hotel in Antwerp, Belgium. The aim of this 13th edition is again to review recent advances in fluid management and hemodynamic and organ function monitoring in the critical care setting in a comprehensive manner for intensivists, anesthesiologists, and emergency care physicians, as well as interested internists and surgeons. However, the meeting will deal with any broad topic related to critical care. As always, it is also a great way to promote professional interaction between faculty members, participants, and delegates of the industry. This website is regularly updated.

Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy plays a fundamental role in the management of hospitalized patients and correct use of IV fluids can be lifesaving. Parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions and additives also give clinicians many opportunities to meet diverse patient needs.

IV fluid administration is one of the most common interventions in acute care, but it can be frequently mismanaged, thus we support ongoing education related to fluid stewardship, join us for a session on fluid stewardship

More than 80% of hospitalized patients receive IV fluids. However, 1 in 5 patients may suffer complications or morbidity due to inappropriate administration of IV fluids.

Despite the request from the WHO many countries do not have a national sepsis plan. Fluid prescribing has been shown to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality and many patients who receive intravenous fluids suffer iatrogenic harm. Now is time to do better!

Overview and objectives: The course will start by refreshing core topics in point of care ultrasound of the heart, lung and abdomen. Then we will quickly move towards hands-on sessions to put this in practice. The CACU programme is innovative to meet the needs of beginners and advanced practitioners. The CACU course offers a fantastic opportunity to meet and greet expert sonographers in a small interactive group. You will have a true VIP experience on the front seat where you will be able to improve your skills during the hands-on sessions and to test your knowledge during the interactive cases with voting.

Fluid administration and management are one of the fundamental practices of intensive care. The principles of good fluid practice are built upon the foundations of a firm understanding of the underlying pathophysiological process. COVID-19 is a novel illness and presents unique challenges not just to clinical practice but the entire healthcare system.
