Welcome!
The World Society of the Abdominal Compartment
Syndrome (WSACS) welcomes you to sunny Cartagena for the Sixth World Congress
on the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WCACS). This meeting promises to be one
of the most influential and exciting scientific meetings of 2013. The
scientific program has been organized to highlight the current state-of-the-art
management of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment
syndrome (ACS) through plenary sessions with recognized world experts, abstract
presentations from IAH/ACS investigators worldwide, patient case scenarios to
illustrate key management points, and pro/con debates to describe patient care
controversies. The meeting schedule allows ample family time each day to visit the
beautiful city of Cartagena.
In addition to the family
holiday time outlined above, a wonderful social program is planned that
culminates in the Society's biannual Gala Dinner, an event that you will not
want to miss!
ACS is a potentially
preventable and often unrecognised disease process
that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recent prospective
trials have demonstrated a significant improvement in patient survival and
outcome when the Society's management algorithms and consensus recommendations
statements are implemented. The WSACS is excited to host the Second
International Conference of Experts on IAH/ACS during the Fifth WCACS and looks
forward to the presentation of the newly revised consensus definitions and
recommendations statements.
Come and join us in Cartagena
for the Sixth WCACS! You will have a memorable and rewarding experience that
will allow you to "make a difference" in your patient's lives for
years to come!
