6th International Hypothermia and Temperature Management Symposium

6th International Hypothermia and Temperature Management Symposium is organized by Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University and would be held during Sep 12 - 14, 2016 at Jefferson Alumni Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event are physicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals involved in the areas of acute care, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, ICU, stroke and trauma.This CME conference has been approved with 21.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, participants will be able to:

Basics
• Identify the physiology of thermoregulation, thermal tolerance, and predict the metabolic impact of Targeted temperature management (TTM)
• Review the basic pathophysiology of the pyrexic response after brain injury
• Determine the role of pharmacological and non-pharmacological support for shivering during Targeted temperature management (TTM)
• Recognize basic pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic concepts of drug administration during Targeted temperature management (TTM)

Neurological and non-neurological Injury
• Develop an understanding of the role of Targeted temperature management (TTM) in critical neurological and nonneurological illnesses in light of translational concepts, and data from observational studies and recent clinical trials. Topics will include: stroke, cardiac arrest, TBI, trauma, spontaneous hypothermia, fever and hyperpyrexia, pediatric cardiac arrest, ARDS, and others
• Review and highlight recommendations of Targeted temperature management (TTM) after neurological and nonneurological injury based on guidelines •Appraise the current evidence supporting Targeted temperature management (TTM) indications after stroke, traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest, and other disease states

Implementation
• Develop potential approaches for bedside Targeted temperature management (TTM) implementation in the neuron population: cooling devices, temperature measurement, depth and dose
• Review expert opinions about approaches for the implementation of Targeted temperature management (TTM) protocols
• Identify and evaluate potential challenges for the implementation of Targeted temperature management (TTM) protocols
• Develop strategies to surmount potential barriers for the implementation and delivery of Targeted temperature management (TTM)
• Review different approaches of Targeted temperature management (TTM) implementation from different parts of the world.
