SECOND NEUROCRITICAL CARE RESEARCH CONFERENCE

描述（由申请人提供）：第二届神经重症监护研究会议将于2012年5月18日至20日在德克萨斯州休斯顿的德克萨斯医学中心举行（贝勒医学院/圣卢克圣公会医院）。圣路加主教医院的神经科学中心已承诺提供资金，部分支持这次研讨会。本次跨学科科学研讨会的总体目标是汇集来自不同领域的科学家和医生，共同关注理解和推进多模态监测在神经重症监护中的应用。该研讨会是独一无二的，因为它将提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论在临床试验设计，研究工具和研究重点在神经重症监护领域的最新进展。设计适当的临床试验来测试这些监测技术的必要性也将在最近创建的神经重症监护研究网络（NCRN）的背景下得到解决，以促进合作和患者招募。本次研讨会将包括一个开放的接待和讨论的新方法，多方面的治疗捆绑在神经重症监护与以下科学 会议：1）神经重症监护病房中的全局脑监测; 2）神经重症监护病房中的局部脑监测; 3）数据收集和解释; 4）多模态监测的常规临床试验设计;以及5）替代临床试验设计。此外，还将在会议结束时组织讨论。我们预计约有200名与会者。组织/科学委员会将由来自神经重症监护社区的成员组成，但具有代表会议综合/教育概念的各种研究兴趣。在会议结束时，与会者应能够：1）了解神经重症监护疾病多模态监测研究的重要性和机会; 2）讨论与传统和替代临床试验设计和研究工具相关的最新科学进展，这些进展将对多模态监测研究产生影响; 3）确定多模态神经监测的未来研究方向; 4）通过NCRN和其他网络发起多模态神经监测研究的合作。所有的演讲将被录像，并在“神经重症监护协会”网站上提供给公众访问（网站自2003年成立）。此外，受邀演讲者将被要求提交与他们的演讲相关的手稿，以“神经重症监护”考虑在一个特殊的补充出版。 公共卫生相关性：在过去几年中，神经监测取得了重大进展。 第二届神经重症监护研究会议将及时汇集来自不同领域的科学家和医生，他们对理解和推进多模态神经监测的应用有着共同的兴趣。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Second Neurocritical Care Research Conference will be held at the Texas Medical Center, Houston, Texas, on May 18 - 20, 2012 (Baylor College of Medicine/St Luke's Episcopal Hospital). The Neuroscience Center at the St Luke's Episcopal Hospital has committed funds to partially support this symposium. The overall goal of this interdisciplinary scientific symposium is to bring together scientists and physicians from diverse fields with a common interest in understanding and advancing the applications of multimodality monitoring in neurocritical care. The symposium is unique in that it will provide a forum for presenting and discussing the latest advances in clinical trial design, research tools, and research priorities in the field of neurocritical care. The need for the design of adequate clinical trials to test these monitoring techniques will also be addressed in the context of the recently created Neurocritical Care Research Network (NCRN) to facilitate collaboration and patient enrollment. This symposium will consist of an opening reception and discussion of new approaches for multifaceted therapeutic bundles in neurocritical care with the following scientific sessions: 1) Global Brain Monitoring in the Neurocritical Care Unit; 2) Regional Brain Monitoring in the Neurocritical Care Unit; 3) Data Collection and Interpretation; 4) Conventional Clinical Trial Design of Multimodality Monitoring; and 5) Alternative Clinical Trial Design. In addition, discussions at the end of the sessions will be organized. We anticipate approximately 200 attendees. The Organizing/Scientific Committee will consist of members from the neurocritical care community but with various research interests that represent the integrated/educational concept of the conference. At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to: 1) understand the importance and opportunities for research in multimodality monitoring in neurocritical care diseases; 2) discuss recent scientific advances related to conventional and alternative clinical trial design and research tools that will have an impact on multimodality monitoring research; 3) determine the future directions of research of multimodality neuromonitoring; and 4) initiate collaborations via NCRN and other networks for multimodality neuromonitoring research. All presentations will be video-taped and presented on "The Neurocritical Care Society" website for general public access (website has been established since 2003). Furthermore, invited speakers will be asked to submit manuscripts related to their presentations to "Neurocritical Care" for consideration for publication in a special supplement. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Significant advances in neuromonitoring have taken place in the past few years. The Second Neurocritical Care Research Conference will timely bring together a diverse group of scientists and physicians from diverse fields with a common interest in understanding and advancing the applications of multimodality neuromonitoring.
