MISSION STATEMENT

Unlike many commonly encountered disease processes which remain within the
purview of a given discipline, intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and
abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) readily cross the usual barriers and
may occur in any patient population regardless of age, illness, or injury.
As a result, no one scientific society or association can represent the wide
variety of physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other allied
healthcare personnel who might encounter patients with IAH and/or ACS in
their daily practice.  To fill this void, the World Society on Abdominal
Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) has been founded to serve as a peer-reviewed
forum and educational resource for all healthcare providers as well as
industry who have an interest in IAH and ACS.  Launched at the Inaugural
World Congress on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in December 2004, the
mission of the WSACS is to foster education, promote research, and thereby
improve the survival of patients with IAH and ACS by bringing together
physicians, nurses, and others from throughout the world and from a variety
of clinical disciplines. “It is time to pay attention”, will be the slogan
of our meeting.

For an educational and scientific opportunity not to be missed, join us in
March 2007 in Antwerp.

PROGRAM

The Congress includes formal state-of-the-art presentations as well as
practical discussions such as tutorials, pro-con debates, case
presentations, "meet the experts", "how I do it" and "what I learned today"
sessions. There will also be free paper, mini-paper, video and poster
sessions. The meeting is open to all anesthetists, intensivists, surgeons,
nurses and other health care professionals involved in the care of
critically ill patients. Following the request of some of our attendees, we
have added special themes. Please visit our website regularly to see our
newest additions.

On Wednesday March 21st a second consensus definitions conference will be
held.

Accepted abstracts will be published in an international PubMed referenced
journal.

The book on "Abdominal Compartment Syndrome", editors M Sugrue, M Cheatham,
M Malbrain will be available at the meeting (published by Landes Bioscience)
ISBN: 1-58706-196-1 (www.eurekah.com <http://www.eurekah.com/> )
