EuSEM 2015 - Official Congress Programme 7

PRESIDENTS’WELCOME
Welcome
Dear friends and colleagues,
Welcome to EuSEM's congress in Torino
2015, surely one of the most beautiful
and fascinating cities in Europe.
"The Truly European Flavour" is our congress motto and I
think this city has some of the finest flavours of historic
and modern which Europe has to offer.
The glorious beauty of this city and its rich cultural, artistic
and architectural history would need many books to describe
fully. But I hope the congress participants will find time to
experience the delights of the city including the Via Roma
with its beautiful buildings and fashionable shopping. No
one should miss the spectacular Piazza San Carlo and Piazza
Castello, which to me are some of the most fascinating
squares in the world and could take days to explore.
But Torino is not just a museum of past glory. The city is also
an economic powerhouse of manufacturing and engineering
which helps Italy hold its place as one of the leading global
economies. The Turino region's mighty industrial base includes
the giant car maker Fiat Chrysler plus a host of automotive
supply, engineering, high technology, banking and knowledge-
based service companies.
Italy is a country which has raised cooking to a fine art. I am
sure that congress participants will only need to stroll into
one of the hundreds of fine restaurants and cafes in the city
to enjoy the flavours the artists in Torino's kitchens produce.
Italian emergency medicine is held in great respect inter-
nationally. Italy has taken the crucial step forward of in-
troducing the specialty physician for emergency medicine.
This was a key move to achieve the high level of medical
excellence among Italian emergency physicians which is
so respected.
I think this congress will be fascinating as we experience the
favour of the high-quality scientific programme and hopefully
the flavours and beauty of this marvellous city too.
Join us in Torino 2015 for the genuine European flavour!
Dr. Barbara Hogan, MBA
President EuSEM
8 EuSEM 2015 - Official Congress Programme
THE CONGRESS
The 9th European Congress on Emergency Medicine will take place
in Turin, Italy, at the 'Centro Congressi Lingotto'.
The congress is organised on behalf of the European Society for Emergency
Medicine (EuSEM) and the Italian Scientific Association Of Emergency
Medicine Physicians (SIMEU).
This year’s main theme is ‘The Truly European Flavour’. Torino is an
economic powerhouse of manufacturing and engineering which helps
Italy hold its place as one of the leading global economies. Italian
emergency medicine is held in great respect internationally. Italy has
taken the crucial step forward of introducing the specialty physician
for emergency medicine. This was a key move to achieve the high
level of medical excellence among Italian emergency physicians which
is so respected.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The programme includes hand-picked leading international experts who
have contributed valuable recent research in Emergency Medicine
internationally. From previous congresses, delegates wish to have concise
updates for effective and efficient clinical practice in modern emergency
departments and in the pre-hospital setting. The congress will deliver
sessions to satisfy those demands and give extensive Emergency
Medicine knowledge for use in the clinical setting. The congress will give
delegates a greater understanding of the development and progress of EM
in Europe from an international viewpoint.
The overall objective is the advancement of international emergency
medical services and education in Europe in particular - and the world
in general.
Other learning objectives include:
> Describing the history of development of emergency medicine as a
speciality and its status in various European nations.
> Comprehending the diversity of the scope of practice and clinical
privileges for which emergency medicine specialists are certified and
expected to provide.
> Contrasting the general principles of treating common emergencies such
as resuscitation, cardiovascular and respiratory complaints, paediatric
patients and trauma management.
> Utilising general principles of disaster and pre-hospital care and the
basic principles of triage and stabilisation.
> Assimilating general research principles from the oral and poster
sessions of new research presented by attendees.

system is that a lot more information can be shown when compared
to classic paper posters. Poster presenters no longer have to pay to
have their paper posters printed, and they no longer have to travel with
cumbersome poster tubes.
This system has been introduced to a number of scientific and medical
conferences in recent years, as a digital alternative to paper.
ePosters will be a single-slide PowerPoint presentation, in a "landscape"
format. They will be displayed on 15 giant LCD screens, using tactile
features.
Authors were requested to send their ePosters to our Technical Team
prior to the congress as it will not be possible to submit them onsite.
LOCATION AND PRESENTATION
ePosters will be displayed during the whole congress, from Sunday 11
October 13:00 until Wednesday 14 October 13:00 in the ePoster area
near booths nr. 43-46.
There will be no specific time allotted to ePoster presentations.
Participants will be able to watch the ePosters freely on the LCD
screens, and browse them using a tactile user interface.

Head of the “Gruppo NIV Policlinico”, an interdisciplinary group of
internists and pneumologists who implemented the use Non-Invasive
mechanical Ventilation (NIV) for the treatment of acute respiratory
failure since 2000. Acute respiratory failure is the leading cause of
HDU admission at the Fondazione Ca’ Granda, accounting over 60%
of more than 400 patients/year. The group activity has lead to the de-
velopment of shared protocols for the diagnosis and treatment of
acute respiratory failure, regular medical and nurse education, and
paper publication in international journals. The educational activity
