First Regional Neurocritical
Care Meeting in Asia
By Sang-Bae Ko, MD, PhD
The Korean Neurocritical Care Society (KNCS) held the first
regional Asian Chapter Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) Meeting
in conjunction with KNCS Winter Symposium on Dec. 14-15,
2018 in Seoul, South Korea.
The original idea for boosting quality of neurocritical care in
Asia had been discussed with Dr. Gene Sung, and KNCS are
lucky to have a chance to host the first Asian Chapter meeting
in Seoul with a full support from Asian neighbors including
Japan, Philippines, Nepal, India, Singapore, Indonesia and
Australia. All Asian partners are sharing the common vision with
NCS in improving quality of care for critically ill patients with
neurologic disorders.
During this one and a half day long meeting, 22 lectures
will presented including recent update of status epilepticus,
management of subarachnoid hemorrhage, multimodality
neuromonitoring, and the clinical application of targeted
temperature management in various neurologic conditions.
There will be 14 international invited speakers including two
NCS officers (Drs. Jose Suarez and Gretchen Brophy) and 100
participants already pre-registered.
