From 10 to 12 October 2024, the Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples will be the venue for the 78th Icare National Congress of the Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (Siaarti). This is the most important annual event for Italian anesthetists and resuscitators, with 3 thousand participants expected including doctors, experts, veterinarians, other healthcare workers and exhibitors, in the 90th year since the foundation of the scientific society.
As underlined by Siaarti president Antonino Giarratano, “this congress is thought of as a moment of meeting between Italian clinical and scientific excellences who, together, produce the ‘good clinical practices’ which are the basis of the progress of our healthcare system. An opportunity to discuss the new challenges of our discipline, but also to train and update on the most recent innovations in anesthesiology, perioperative and emergency medicine, intensive care and pain therapy”. The 78th edition of the congress stands out “for its breadth and innovation, and for its commitment to supporting good clinical practice and research”.
The event includes 130 parallel sessions, of which 18 sponsored, distributed across 7 rooms. In addition to the large exhibition space of 867 square meters and 72 exhibitors, there will be 30 sessions in the Talk-Village Area, with discussions on topics relevant to clinical practice. “This year’s faculty is of the highest level – states the head of the Siaarti conference committee, Antonio Corcione – with Italian and international experts who will allow us to discuss current and future challenges. We have designed ‘Learning Tracks’ courses to ensure that all participants can meet and listen to experts from various disciplines, encouraging an interdisciplinary debate”.
One of the new features this year will also be the Sim Village, an area dedicated to simulation, with stations that will offer participants the opportunity to experiment with critical scenarios. “The Sim Village represents a unique opportunity to improve the quality of care and ensure patient safety”, adds Corcione. Furthermore, the congress will include a Village of the Regions, where the diversity of Italian regional healthcare systems will be discussed, with the aim of standardizing the quality of care at a national level. A further area of interest will be the Clinical Research Area, with 10 presentations of innovative projects. The inclusion of Veterinary Day, with dozens of veterinarians already registered and 2 dedicated sponsors, demonstrates Siaarti’s intention to expand the scientific debate to other sectors of medicine.
During the congress, elections will take place for the renewal of the Siaarti Board of Directors, which will assume the role for the period 2025-2027 under the presidency of Elena Bignami, and the president for the three-year period 2028-2030 will also be elected. The balance sheets of the numerous activities carried out in all fields of competence of the scientific society in the three-year period 2022-2024 will be presented, under the guidance of the Board of Directors in office and President Giarratano. During the event, a compendium will be distributed which will illustrate to members the activities carried out and the results achieved.
The Icare 2024 Congress represents an unmissable opportunity for all healthcare professionals who deal with emergencies, resuscitation, intensive care and pain treatment, establishing itself as an unmissable event for those who wish to stay updated on the progress of the discipline.
