We hope you have enjoyed the SICM-IFA+WSACS Webinar that was brought to you on 17 June 2023.
With all your continuous support, our next two talk show episodes will be held over two Saturdays, focusing on interesting topics.
SICM Talk Show/Webinar Episode 1: Managing BSI in Critical Care in the Post-COVID-19 Era
29 July 2023 (Saturday), 2.30 pm (SGT/UTC +8)
Synopsis: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a serious health concern in intensive care units, affecting millions of patients worldwide. BSIs are challenging to diagnose and treat, often resulting in prolonged hospitalisation, multi-organ failures, increased healthcare costs, and high mortality rates. In the post-COVID-19 era, managing BSIs has become even more complex due to several factors, including the continuous increase of antimicrobial resistance. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to antimicrobial stewardship efforts, it also provided opportunities to try new approaches to managing critical infections, such as BSI, in the post-COVID-19 era. Strategic use of new rapid diagnostic tools to identify critical organisms and their antimicrobial resistance markers, combined with choosing the right antimicrobial treatment, will be explored by the experts during this talk show.

SICM Talk Show/Webinar Episode 2: Managing Pneumonia in Critical Care in the Post-COVID-19 Era
5 August 2023 (Saturday), 2.30 pm (SGT/UTC +8)
Synopsis: Pneumonia is one of the most common infections globally and is associated with high mortality and healthcare expenditure, especially in the elderly, immunocompromised, and critically ill patients. The complexity of managing pneumonia in the post-COVID-19 era has also increased due to changes in etiology and the continually increasing antimicrobial resistance. COVID-19 has also highlighted the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis of pneumonia, particularly for the correct identification of etiological agents in order to choose appropriate treatment. Newer tools such as rapid molecular diagnostic tests promise to offer advantages such as direct detection of the most common pathogens along with selected resistance markers of bacterial pathogens from lower respiratory samples. The risk of MDRO infection in high-risk patients always poses a challenge to clinicians in choosing the best antimicrobials. In this episode, the experts will review the challenges of managing pneumonia in critical care in the post-COVID-19 era by utilising newer diagnostic tools in choosing the most appropriate antimicrobials.
On behalf of the International Society Rapid Response Systems (iSRRS) and the Australian New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) we are writing to inform you of a joint conference on rapid response systems and ICU patient safety and quality.
This will be held in Darwin between the 20th and 22nd of July 2023.
Brought to you by the same intensive care societies behind SG-ANZICS – the Society of Intensive Care Medicine, Singapore (SICM) and the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS), APICS was launched in 2021 as a virtual conference in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as our flagship event, SG-ANZICS, was unable to take place.
The organizing committee, invites you to the 16th World Intensive and Critical Care Congress (WICC), which will take place on August 26-30, 2023 in Istanbul.
Hurry early bird registration fee ends on 17th April 2023.

FCCS is an internationally recognized course providing basic critical care information to the non-critical care specialist. FCCS was developed under the auspices of the Society of Critical Care Medicine, USA and locally administered by the Society of Intensive Care Medicine (Singapore) and SIMS-IMSE.
CritCare Bites is a collaborative effort between the Society of Intensive Care Medicine (Singapore) and MadforMedicine. In this video podcast series, we interview experts in the field to distil clinical pearls and wisdom around critical care topics.
