Emergency Surgery Course - 17-18.01.2025 - CHUV
Dear colleague,
We are pleased to invite you, and your team, to the first Swiss edition of the Emergency Surgery Course, which will be held on January 17 and 18, 2025, in Lausanne.
The Emergency Surgery Course® is a joint initiative of the European Society for Trauma & Emergency Surgery (ESTES) and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST). ESC® aims to aid surgeons in non-trauma emergency surgery by providing the know-how and the decision-making skills necessary for daily practice. The course consists of theoretical sessions, case scenarios and state of the art videos. The course is specially designed in an interactive format from the beginning till the end.
The course is divided into two parts:
- the first part consists in several theoretical, didactic sessions, designed to provide the basic steps for adequate and timely diagnosis and decision-making
- the second part, video-based, is designed to provide tips and tricks to improve the skills of the general surgeon dealing with surgical emergencies.
In summary, the ESC® has the following goals:
- Confront surgeons with common and complex emergency scenarios
- Provide concrete answers and guidelines for questions emerging from these situations
- Hone the decision-making skills necessary to manage preoperative, intra-operative and post-operative issues
The participants will:
- Improve clinical skills
- Establish priorities in diagnosis and treatment
- Recognize the evidence that supports decisions and interventions
- See real-life case presentations as examples
- Familiarize themselves with important diagnostic tests and therapeutic maneuvers
- Learn new interventions that may improve outcome
