SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE PEDIATRIC CARDIAC DEVICE

描述（由申请人提供）： 第二届小儿机械循环支持系统和小儿心脏灌注国际会议将于2006年5月17日至20日在加拿大安大略多伦多的假日酒店举行。 儿科心脏外科医生，科学家，生物医学工程师，心脏病专家，重症监护医生，麻醉师，儿科灌注师和护士被邀请参加这一独特的学术活动。 本次会议的主要目的是集中在当前的问题与儿科心脏病患者期间和之后的急性或慢性心脏支持。在这次会议上，我们将汇集尽可能多的杰出医生和科学家，以准确定义当前的问题，并提出新方法的解决方案。这将是唯一一个国家/国际会议， 儿科心脏病患者的研究 主要议题将包括小儿心脏辅助设备;轴向，离心，旋转和脉动泵; ECMO;小儿心肺转流，小儿心肺机和膜式氧合器;脉动与非脉动灌注;小儿心脏瓣膜;小儿心脏和肺移植;纳米技术;蛋白质组学，急性和慢性支持期间的全身炎症;超滤;计算流体动力学;未来儿科心脏泵的新设计，以及急性和慢性机械循环支持对新生儿和婴儿重要器官的影响。 科学计划将包括主题演讲，特邀讲座，定期幻灯片演示和主持海报演示。我们还将包括一个特别小组为NHLBI的儿科循环支持补助金获奖者谁将被邀请出席本次会议。所有撰稿人，包括主旨发言人、特邀发言人、幻灯片和海报发言人的稿件将经过同行审查，并将发表在2006年9月至10月的《美国会计学会杂志》上。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Second International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion will be held at the Holiday Inn on King, Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 17-20, 2006. Pediatric heart surgeons, scientists, biomedical engineers, cardiologists, intensivists, anesthesiologists, pediatric perfusionists, and nurses are invited to attend this unique academic event. The main objective of this conference is to focus on the current problems associated with pediatric cardiac patients during and after acute or chronic cardiac support. In this conference, we will bring together as many distinguished physicians and scientists as possible, in order to precisely define the current problems and to suggest solutions with novel approaches. This will be the only national/international conference to focus solely on pediatric cardiac patients. The main topics will include pediatric cardiac assist devices; axial, centrifugal, rotary, and pulsatile pumps; ECMO; pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass, pediatric heart-lung machines and membrane oxygenators; pulsatile versus non-pulsatile perfusion; pediatric heart valves; pediatric heart and lung transplantation; nanotechnology; proteomics, systemic inflammation during acute and chronic support; ultrafiltration; computational fluid dynamics; novel designs of future pediatric heart pumps, and the effects of acute and chronic mechanical circulatory support on vital organs in neonates and infants. The scientific program will include Keynote Lectures, Invited lectures, Regular Slide Presentations and Moderated Poster Presentations. We will also include a Special Panel for the NHLBI's Pediatric Circulatory Support grant awardees who will be invited to present in this conference. The manuscripts from all of the contributors including key note, invited, slide and poster presenters will be peer-reviewed and will be published in the September-October 2006 issue of the ASAIO Journal.
