Prior to the meeting, an IAH/ACS refresher course will be organized. This half-day, intensive course is aimed at those who want an update on the basics of intra-abdominal pressure, intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome. It intends to be the perfect introduction to the 7th WCACS if you are not (yet) familiar with the fundamentals of IAH and ACS. Participation in this course costs 50EUR, and registration for the 7th WCACS is required to register.
