SECOND NEUROCRITICAL CARE RESEARCH CONFERENCE

描述(申请人提供)：第二届神经危重护理研究会议将于2012年5月18-20日在德克萨斯州休斯敦的德克萨斯医学中心举行(贝勒医学院/圣卢克圣公会医院)。圣卢克圣公会医院的神经科学中心已经承诺为这次研讨会提供部分资金支持。这次跨学科科学研讨会的总体目标是将来自不同领域的科学家和医生聚集在一起，他们对了解和促进多模式监测在神经危重护理中的应用有着共同的兴趣。这次研讨会的独特之处在于，它将为展示和讨论神经危重护理领域的临床试验设计、研究工具和研究重点的最新进展提供一个论坛。设计足够的临床试验以测试这些监测技术的必要性也将在最近创建的神经危重护理研究网络(NCRN)的背景下得到解决，以促进合作和患者登记。本次研讨会将包括开幕招待会，并讨论神经危重护理中多方面治疗捆绑的新方法，以及以下科学研究 会议：1)神经重症监护病房的全球大脑监测；2)神经重症监护病房的区域大脑监测；3)数据收集和解释；4)多模式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。我们预计将有大约200人参加。组织/科学委员会将由神经危重护理社区的成员组成，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，与会者应该能够：1)了解多模式监测在神经危重护理疾病中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，这些将对多模式监测研究产生影响；3)确定未来多模式神经监测的研究方向；以及4)通过NCRN和其他网络发起多模式神经监测研究的合作。所有报告都将被录制下来，并在“神经危重护理协会”网站上公布，供公众查阅(该网站自2003年建立)。此外，被邀请的演讲者将被要求向《神经危重护理》提交与其演讲有关的手稿，以供考虑在一份特别补编中发表。 与公共卫生相关：神经监测在过去几年中取得了重大进展。第二届神经危重护理研究会议将适时地将来自不同领域的不同群体的科学家和医生聚集在一起，他们对了解和推进多模式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.
