As advances in Endovascular and hybrid techniques for bleeding control and resuscitation become more frequent there is a need for discussion and training platforms to skill clinicians.
The EVTM workshop is designed for Trauma surgeons, Emergency Department consultants, Intensivists, Interventional Radiologists, Prehospital physicians, and Anesthestists, who have a special interest in trauma /bleeding resuscitation and management.
The aim of this workshop is to stimulate mutual learning and sharing experiences while practicing Endovascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management, using a multidisciplinary team approach.
‘’No ego just good science and cooperation “is the focus of this meeting.
We will explore different endovascular and hybrid methods for resuscitation, bleeding control, and trauma management.
Topics covered in this extensive 2-day workshop.
- Early identification of the haemodynamically unstable patient.
- Endovascular solutions for the unstable and bleeding patient
- Vascular Access, (from easy to complex) Aortic Balloon Occlusion (REBOA) indications cREBOA, iREBOA pREBOA techniques
- Damage control EVTM and bailout methods.
- Use of Imaging (CT and ultrasound for the unstable patient)
- ECMO, eCPR, Stents, Embolization.
- SAAP (Selective Arch Aortic Perfusion)
- Basic and advanced care following REBOA deployment as a bridge to treatment.
- Up to date research topics and clinical experience.
- ABOTrauma Registry case presentations.
- Basics for building a REBOA/EVTM service, (patient in flows etc.).
- Emergent technologies for EVTM
- Basic and advanced endo methods
The workshop is suited to meet the needs of clinicians who wish to develop the necessary skills in endovascular trauma management.
It is built as a collaboration platform and all practice will be based on attending needs and professions.
The workshop faculty are world leaders in the field of endovascular trauma management.
