Kovai Medical Center & Hospital has been conducting yearly ICU update to enrich the knowledge of the practicing intensive care doctors in Tamil Nadu especially in and around Coimbatore. The 12th successful update was organized in KMCH and this one was conducted on Sepsis (infection) which is the cause for loss of many precious lives in most of ICUs across the world.
During each update, a theme is taken and topics related to that are discussed in depth in order to make it useful for the practicing intensive care physicians (doctors). This year’s topic was “An update on sepsis” because in spite of a lot of research and evolution of many higher antibiotics, sepsis still forms the major cause of morbidity, mortality and prolonged ICU stay.
The aim is to help people realize that sepsis ought to be treated with urgency because early diagnosis and giving the right treatment can make a lot of difference in the outcome of these patients. Faculties of National repute from different part of the country shared their knowledge and made the conference big success.
Dr. Nalla G.Palaniswami, Chairman, KMCH congratulated the Dept. of Critical Care for conducting this conference on Sepsis and wished the delegates a successful conference.
