SEPSIS 2009
An International Symposium
Amsterdam, the Netherlands - 11-14 November 2009
The International Sepsis Forum (ISF) is a unique collaborative
effort between industry and academia. It is the first initiative to focus
solely on management of patients with severe sepsis.
While sepsis and it's sequelae are still associated with high
morbidity and mortality rates, new data on patient management is emerging that
may ultimately significantly improve the current situation. Such findings
need to be evaluated and incorporated when appropriate, into existing treatment
protocols.
Headed by a Steering Committee of international experts and
opinion leaders, the ISF is focused exclusively on improving the management of
sepsis and, in particular, septic shock by developing an international consensus
on the latest understanding of key scientific and clinical issues, and
disseminating emerging practice guidelines to researchers, intensivists, and
other critical care professionals worldwide.
