What is BASE?
BASE is the first inaugural multidisciplinary meeting that discusses the update in sepsis, antimicrobial, and hemodynamics. The idea of the meeting is to gather physicians from different disciplines to outline the recent update in diagnosis, management of bacterial, fungal, and viral infection. Moreover, the meeting will highlight the basics and advanced tools of hemodynamics management in critically ill patients.
BASE, in its first edition, will include outstanding speakers from all over Egypt and in different specialties such as critical care, infectious disease, clinical pathology, chest, pediatric, and clinical pharmacists. In addition to National speakers, BASE will invite several speakers from USA, UK, India, and Saudi Arabia to guarantee an optimum environment for interchanging expertise.
BASE is aiming to attract more than 1000 physicians and pharmacists inside and outside Egypt. The objective is to align all healthcare workers with the global standard of evidence-based practice of sepsis management starting from proper diagnosis, choice of antimicrobial therapy and optimum hemodynamic management.
