17 May 2026ICU Ultrasound - The bare bones

Details: Date: Thursday, 17 May 2026
Time: 0800 - 1700 hrs
Venue: Conference Room 2, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital 
Synopsis: Ultrasound use in the ICU has increased greatly in recent years. It has clearly proven its usefulness in the managing of critically ill patients. The use of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of shock states have revolutionised patient care. The use of ultrasound to guide invasive procedures have improved patient safety.
Learning Objectives:

The aim of this course is to introduce participants to the basic use of ultrasound in its simplest form to aid patient management. We aim to minimise complex jargon and measurements to introduce easy to remember algorithms that anyone can learn and use while at the same time providing sufficient scientific background and hands on skill. Emphasis is on the things that make a difference. More emphasis will be placed on cardiac ultrasound and common procedural use.

This course is aimed at all who are interested in ICU ultrasound especially the total newbie, resident or consultant. We hope to be able to impart practical skills that you can immediately use in your ICU. Of course, there are many options to go further for those who have special interest and for this group we hope to be the catalyst to start your journey.

17 May 2026The Nuts and Bolts of Complex Home Ventilation

Sponsored by:


Details
Date: Thursday, 17 May 2026
Time: 0830 - 1730 hrs
Venue: Philips Health Tech APAC Centre | 622, Lorong 1, Toa Payoh, Singapore 319763
*Lunch is provided.
Synopsis:

Complex Home Ventilation is the term proposed by an NHS workgroup to denote

a) Invasive ( Tracheostomy) ventilation

b) Patients dependent on noninvasive ventilation ( > 14 hours in 24 hours)

c) Patients assisted by non-invasive ventilation ( <14 hours/day), but having complex medical conditions - neuromuscular disorders, cardiomyopathy etc

d) Transition from paediatric home ventilation.

The goal of complex home ventilation is to maximise function and QoL of such patients while maintaining a high standard of safety and preserving survival as far as possible.

Success in complex home ventilation depends on attention to the multi-faceted needs of such patients, preferably delivered by a dedicated multidisciplinary team. 

Target audience: Physicians, Nurses and Therapists with interest in provision of Complex Home Ventilation
Learning Objectives:This workshop will cover the physiology and pathophysiology of respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation tips applied to the complex patient; advanced tracheostomy care - breathing / speaking / eating with a trach; airway clearance; setting up a patient for long term ventilation; emergency drills.
Schedule:To be advised
Faculty: Course Convenor - Dr Chan Yeow, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (on behalf of SICM)
Faculty includes pulmonologists, therapists and nurses from home ventilation team with extensive experience.

          0830 - 1600 hrs (Friday, 18 May 2026)
Venue: Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Room 300
Day 1 will focus on ventilation synchrony and Day 2 will focus on lung protective ventilation and current understanding of ventilator induced lung injury. 
Synopsis:
This workshop seeks to take participants beyond standard ventilation practices. We will review ventilator asynchrony, lung protective ventilation and the current understanding of ventilator induced lung injury. The workshop will focus on equipping participants with knowledge and hands on skills to recognize and manage complex scenarios at the extremes of pulmonary physiology, including the role of PEEP, lung recruitment and adjunctive pharmacological interventions. The program will include lectures (including keynote international guest speakers), hands on simulation stations and group discussion with international experts.
Learning Objectives: At the end of the course, participant should be able to:
  • Describe the physiology of asynchrony
  • Describe the types of asynchrony and how to recognise them with ventilator waveforms.
  • Describe the practice and approaches to lung protective ventilation. 
  • Describe the mechanisms by which the mechanical breath causes tissue damage at the alveolar level
  • Describe how the parameters of a mechanical breath (i.e. lung volumes, pressures, rates, flows and the duration they are applied to the lung at inspiration and expiration) can be adjusted to minimize VILI.
  • Describe available pharmacological interventions for ventilated patients.
  • Describe the management of hypoxia and adjunctive approaches.

Synopsis: Advance Airway Workshop for Intensivists (involving Porcine Trachea)
- Airway management is a vital part of intensive care with majority of patients intubated during part of their ICU stay.
- ICU physicians are frequently involved in securing the airway of critically ill patients.
- Airway management in the critically ill can be challenging due to lack of physiological reserves and non-ideal intubating conditions imposed by the varied location of the patient where ICU team has been engaged to retrieve them.
- Knowledge of various options of intubation as well as common airway procedures in ICU is vital for safe execution of duties in securing the airway by intensivists.
Learning Objectives: We aim to share various advance airway management procedures with participants through emphasis on hands-on practice and close guidance with a high faculty to participant ratio.
At the end of the course, we hope that participants would have gained valuable experience and insight in securing airway through different means as emphasized via most difficult airway algorithms.
