Overview

Outcomes for critically ill hematology/oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant patients, while improved over the last two decades, remain unacceptably poor compared with other patients we care for in our ICUs. The goal of this symposium is to advance the care of critically ill pediatric hematology/oncology patients through improvements in patient care, multidisciplinary collaboration, as well as clinical and translational research.

Onco-Critical Care Fundamentals Day

Tuesday, April 16th
This educational pre-day will describe current literature and management of oncologic specific emergencies in critical care in all potential settings (including middle- and lower-income settings) and outline key differences between critically ill oncologic patients and critically ill general pediatric patients. Topics this year will include sepsis, neurologic dysfunction, tumor lysis syndrome, and ventilator management in pediatric oncology patients. Sessions will be lectures followed by expert panel discussion. Please bring all your questions!

Price is $50 for general and $15 for global participants.
