sessions, hands-on workshops,

interactive debates and networking opportunities!

CoMMiT. TRanSFoRM. iMPRovE. CaSE STUdy: Although they were already a high-performing team, the staff

in Lakeland Regional Medical Center’s (LRMC) critical care units

determined there were still opportunities for improvement.

While they had the desire to implement changes, they needed

guidance from people who understood the challenges they

faced and could provide the support and resources to ensure

changes were measured and sustainable. They found this sup-

port in the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) Paragon

Critical Care Quality Implementation Program™ (Paragon).

CoMMiT. TRanSFoRM. iMPRovE.

Get ready for some quality time with SCCM! The 39th

Critical Care Congress will highlight quality and performance

improvement processes in critical care.

Since its inception in 1970, SCCM has maintained that the best

way to improve staff satisfaction, enhance patient outcomes

and boost the financial performance of hospitals is to deliver

the Right Care, Right Now™. This efficient and safe patient-

centered model of care can be achieved by establishing a

standardized intensive care unit (ICU) structure consisting

of an integrated multiprofessional team led by a trained

and present intensivist. These high-performance teams are

designed to achieve excellence in patient care.

To help healthcare providers implement the Right Care, Right

Now model and benefit from quality improvements, SCCM

created the Paragon Critical Care Quality Implementation

Program (Paragon). Paragon partners SCCM members who

have experience successfully implementing this model of care

with hospitals in need of change.

Numerous hospitals have already experienced quality

improvements as a result of participating in Paragon. At

SCCM’s Congress, you can explore change strategies used

by these and other hospitals to embed best practices and

improve reliability in the critical care unit.

2010 CONGRESS PRELIMINARY PROGRAM I WWW.SCCM.ORG/CONGRESS I SOCIETY OF CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE • 1

Fundamental disaster ManagementJanuary 8, 2010Prepare yourself and your intensive care unit to man-age the surge in critically ill or injured patients after a disaster. Fundamental Disaster Management (FDM) provides the most recent information on disaster response, management of mass casualty injuries and allocation of scarce critical care resources. Disaster scenarios addressed include natural and man-made events (biological, chemical and radiation). Skill sta-tions provide hands-on opportunities to use alterna-tive positive pressure ventilation equipment and a higher level of personal protective equipment (PPE). Registration fee includes a copy of the FDM text-book, as well as breakfast and lunch. An instructor component is available for those interested in teach-ing FDM.

adult Critical Care Refresher CourseJanuary 8-9, 2010Valuable for all members of the multiprofessional team, this two-day course focuses on current stan-dards of practice in critical care and provides a review of basic concepts. Updates on select topics such as therapeutic hypothermia, noninvasive venti-lator support and quality and performance improve-ment issues also will be provided. Registration fee includes an in-depth syllabus, as well as breakfast and lunch. All speaker slides will be available to par-ticipants after Congress.

Current Concepts in Pediatric Critical CareJanuary 8-9, 2010Obtain the latest information available for both the clinical and basic science realms of pediatric inten-sive care. Topics include pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) technologies, management of burn injuries, relevance of biomarkers in sepsis management, cardiomyopathies and inflicted brain injury, transla-tional medicine, ethical challenges in the PICU, and how to build collaborative PICU networks and busi-ness models. This course is a must for all pediatric critical care practitioners. Registration fee includes an in-depth syllabus, as well as breakfast and lunch. All speaker slides will be available to participants after Congress.

Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care SupportJanuary 8-9, 2010Learn to manage unstable critically ill or injured pediatric patients. Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS) utilizes a combination of didactic and skill stations to address such topics as management of acute respiratory failure, post-operative management, sedation and pain man-agement of children, and transport of the critical-ly ill child. This two-day provider course parallels the adult FCCS course. Registration fee includes a copy of the PFCCS textbook, as well as breakfast and lunch. An instructor component is available for those interested in teaching PFCCS.

Fundamental Critical Care Support instructor CourseJanuary 9, 2010Become trained as a Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) instructor and ensure that your pa-tient care staff has the confidence and skill to treat the critically ill and injured. This course curriculum incorporates a structured and formal approach to adult learning concepts with a focus on teaching strategies. It is strongly recommended that partici-pants be currently practicing in critical care, as the traditional two-day FCCS course is condensed into a one-day program. Visit www.sccm.org/FCCS for instructor criteria. Registration fee includes a copy of the current FCCS textbook, as well as breakfast and lunch. This course is intended for aspiring in-structors only. Course content is not suitable for those desiring FCCS provider status.

Postgraduate CoursesJanuary 9, 2010Receive a comprehensive update on the latest clini-cal treatments and administrative strategies that you can incorporate into your everyday practice. Space for each course is limited. Register early to guarantee your top choices.

CoMMiT. TRanSFoRM. iMPRovE. CaSE STUdy (continued): After a pre-assessment and a two-day site visit, SCCM’s Paragon coaches helped the LRMC

team identify two crucial areas for improvement: early diagnosis and intervention of sepsis in the

emergency department (ED) and on the hospital wards, and reduction in ventilator-associated

pneumonia cases. SCCM’s Paragon coaches had extensive experience with integrating the sepsis

bundles and understood the barriers and strategies involved. The team began by applying the

basics of quality improvement using rapid-cycle change and immediately made progress.

CoMMiT. TRanSFoRM. iMPRovE. CaSE STUdy (continued): 496 patients were screened for sepsis, with 310 patients meeting the

criteria for and receiving the sepsis resuscitation bundle. Of those

receiving the bundle, 62% met the goal of a ScvO2 >70% -- one of the

highest rates of compliance seen by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign. The

ICU team worked collaboratively with the ED to implement processes to

improve early recognition and treatment of sepsis. This included alerting

the medical ICU charge nurse to potentially septic patients, revising the

screening/order sheet, educating staff in the ED, and developing an early

goal-directed therapy cart with supplies.

CoMMiT. TRanSFoRM. iMPRovE. CaSE STUdy (continued):

To reduce ventilator-associated pneumo-

nia (VAP), the team revisited processes

and focused on strategies that had been

successful in the past. They then audited

compliance with the standards of care

for the ventilated patient, such as ventila-

tor bundling, glycemic control, meticu-

lous oral care, and care during transport.

In addition, the team engaged the

bedside registered nurse and respiratory

therapist to create processes that would

improve compliance and raised aware-

ness by utilizing standardized tools for all

staff communications. The result was a

50% decrease in the VAP rate.

hyPERglyCEMia and CRiTiCal illnESS: adaPTivE RESPonSE oR ThERaPEUTiC oPPoRTUniTy?

January 13-15, 2010 key West, Florida, USa

Acute hyperglycemia was once regarded as an

adaptive response to critical illness. However,

a plethora of studies have challenged this idea

by reporting increased risks associated with

hyperglycemia and benefits of improved glucose

control in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

As a result, some experts promote routine

administration of intensive insulin therapy (IIT)

to normalize glucose levels. Others question

the practice due to concerns over the optimal

glucose level, the accuracy of measurements,

the resources required to attain tight glycemic

control (TGC), and the impact of TGC across the

heterogeneous ICU population. Furthermore,

increased variability in glucose levels during critical

illness and the therapeutic intervention thereof

have recently been reported to have a negative

impact on patient outcomes. The concept of

lowering morbidity and mortality rates using TGC

intervention remains controversial.

Learn more about the latest discoveries regarding

this controversial topic by attending SCCM’s

Post-Congress Conference, Hyperglycemia and

Critical Illness: Adaptive Response or Therapeutic

Opportunity? A faculty of international experts

will present a pro/con debate on the NICE Sugar

Trial findings, case studies on insulin protocols

and nutritional guidelines and interactive debates

on glucose variability and achieving glycemic

control. Audience participation will be strongly

encouraged to enhance the overall learning

experience. Visit www.sccm.org/Congress for

complete course details.
