Talk: 1. Pneumonia or Pulmonary Edema- The Eternal Dilemma 2. Fluid Resuscitation: An Individualised Approach

Topic/subtopic: 1. This lecture will explore the role of lung ultrasound in differentiating pneumonia from pulmonary edema in critically ill patients. Emphasis will be placed on sonographic patterns, bedside imaging techniques, and integrating ultrasound findings with clinical assessment to guide timely and accurate decision-making. 2. This presentation will focus on the use of point-of-care ultrasound to guide individualized fluid therapy in critically ill patients. Topics will include assessment of intravascular volume, dynamic monitoring of cardiac function, and evaluating fluid responsiveness to optimize tissue perfusion while preventing fluid overload.
