About IFAD
The iFAD started as local initiative form the pharmaceutical working
group on fluids from the Ziekenhuis Netwerk Antwerpen (www.zna.be).
Today iFAD is integrated within the not-for-profit charitable
organization iMERiT, International Medical Education and Research
Initiative, under Belgian law and as such the iFAD Organising Committee
strongly recognizes and values a constructive partnership with the
industry.
Founded in 2011 during the 1st International Fluid Academy Day (iFAD)
meeting the goals of the IFA are to foster education and promote
research on fluid management and monitoring in critically ill patients,
and thereby improve the survival of critically ill patients by bringing
together physicians, nurses, and others from a variety of clinical
disciplines. The primary goal of the IFA is to establish an
international collaboration group with the final aim to improve and
standardize care and outcome of critically ill patients with an emphasis
on fluids, fluid management, monitoring and organ support. This is
achieved by collaborative research projects, surveys, guideline
development, joint data registration and international exchange of
health care workers and researchers. The acquired knowledge and results
of research is published in Medical Fluids, the international journal on
medical fluid management (published in Anaesthesiology Intensive
Therapy), and shared with his peer group each year during the meeting.
After 5 successful editions the organising committee decided to make it a
bi-annual event. However because of huge demand during the last iFAD
(Nov 23-25, 2017) there will be again an annual IFAD meeting. Every two
years a "big" iFAD will be held in Belgium (alternating between Brussels
and Antwerp) and in the years in between iFAD will go abroad.
About the conference
The
aim of this seventh 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,
anaesthesiologists and emergency 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.
iFAD is an innovative Critical Care Educational meeting. This conference provides the highest quality of Critical Care education and is guaranteed to innovate and inspire. The iFAD Faculty is the most provocative, engaging, motivating and inspiring group of international educational speakers and as organizing committee we want to ensure we have the sponsors to match. Together, we make iFAD stand apart from other Critical Care conferences.
