PULSE 2025 – Pioneering Updates in Life Support Symposium
24-26 October 2025
Ankara, Turkey
Değerli Meslektaşlarımız,
Türkiye Acil Tıp Derneği ev sahipliğinde, Türkiye Acil Tıp Derneği Resüsitasyon Çalışma Grubu organizasyonunda 24-26 Ekim 2025 tarihleri arasında Ankara’da düzenlenecek olan PULSE 2025 – Pioneering Updates in Life Support & ECMO Symposium’a sizleri davet etmekten büyük bir mutluluk ve onur duymaktayız.
Resüsitasyon bilimi, hızla gelişen teknolojik altyapı ve klinik rehberlerin eşliğinde yeni bir evreye geçmektedir. ECMO uygulamaları başta olmak üzere, yaşam desteği stratejileri artık sadece kritik hasta yönetiminin değil, aynı zamanda prehospital sistem tasarımının da vazgeçilmez bir parçası hâline gelmiştir. Bu dönüşüm, ancak multidisipliner bir anlayış ve uluslararası bilgi paylaşımı ile etkin bir şekilde yönetilebilir.
PULSE 2025; acil tıp, yoğun bakım, kardiyovasküler cerrahi, anesteziyoloji, travmatoloji, nöroloji ve temel bilimler gibi birçok disiplinden uzmanların katkı sağlayacağı, iki gün sürecek bilimsel bir platform sunmaktadır. Etkinliğimizde ECMO, ECPR, REBOA, hedeflenmiş sıcaklık yönetimi, şokta sıvı yönetimi, ileri hava yolu uygulamaları, sepsis ve yapay zekâ destekli resüsitasyon gibi güncel başlıklar, ulusal ve uluslararası konuşmacıların katılımıyla ele alınacaktır.
Sempozyumun amacı yalnızca bilgi sunmak değil, aynı zamanda ortak akıl ve deneyim paylaşımı yoluyla resüsitasyon pratiğini geliştirmek, sağlık sistemine yön verecek öneriler üretmektir. Oturumlarda vaka temelli yaklaşımlar, interaktif paneller ve sektörel gelişmeleri aktaran endüstri sunumlarına da yer verilecektir.
Bu öncü bilimsel buluşmada sizleri de aramızda görmekten ve katkılarınızı sempozyumumuza taşımaktan büyük memnuniyet duyacağız.
Bilimsel paylaşımın ve iş birliğinin ön planda olacağı bu toplantıda birlikte olabilmek dileğiyle,
Saygılarımızla,
