Severe acidemia, a condition that challenges homeostatic mechanisms and poses life-threatening risks when pH drops below critical thresholds. Typical acidemia scenarios, including septic shock, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and diabetic ketoacidosis are discussed. Each medical condition requires distinct interventions such as insulin, fluids, and sodium bicarbonate administration. The use of sodium bicarbonate is critically examined, emphasizing its potential risks, including intracellular acidosis, hypocalcemia, and hypervolemia, despite its role in attempting to correct severe metabolic acidosis.

The importance of early nephrologist involvement was emphasized again, particularly in cases of lactic acidosis, acute kidney injury (AKI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and its role in preventing respiratory muscle exhaustion and managing fluid overload are also discussed.

Sodium bicarbonate’s role in lactic and respiratory acidosis is debated, with data from randomized controlled trials showing mixed outcomes, especially regarding its effect on mortality in patients with septic shock and AKI. The complexities of decision-making process in these critically ill patients and the use of individualized treatment approaches while closely coordinating with nephrology are also discussed.

In summary, severe acidemia and hypoxemia have several physiologic challenges. Tailored treatment options and collaborative strategies are necessary to better manage severe acidemia and multiorgan failure in critical care settings.

Following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), patients may recover over a prolonged period. Providers are uncertain as to the degree of neurological recovery and timeframe. Early negative prognostication and recommendation of withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy may not allow the patient adequate recovery time. However, when there is little chance that the patient will recover to a quality of life that the patient would find acceptable, there is a strong impetus for accurate prognostication given considerations such as prolonged family distress, resource utilization, and financial implications associated with a long period of aggressive medical support.

This presentation will review previous tools including the clinical examination, cerebral imaging, various predictive models, e.g. CRASH and IMPACT, and artificial intelligence to predict outcome following TBI.
After this presentation, the audience will be aware of the current research efforts and tools available exploring the neuroprognostication of TBI.

Vasopressors can cause significant tissue injury if extravasation occurs through peripheral IV lines. While central administration of vasopressors has become standard practice in recent decades, it can lead to delays in vasopressor initiation and complications related to catheter insertion. However, emerging data suggests that peripheral administration of vasopressors may be safe. Implementing a safety protocol that includes frequent monitoring, an extravasation management plan, limiting the dose and duration of vasopressor use when possible, utilizing large IVs in the forearm or upper arm, and confirming needle placement with ultrasound may help mitigate severe complications. Despite these insights, practices regarding peripheral vasopressor administration vary widely among hospitals, highlighting the need for updated policies to ensure its safe use.

A medical history, brain imaging and laboratory tests typically reveal the cause the cause of coma. However, the critical care physician must be aware of more elusive etiologies such as non-convulsive seizures, autoimmune or paraneoplastic encephalitis. This presentation will review a systematic framework to evaluate the unresponsive patient and review optimal management strategies.

The right ventricle is a humble chamber that serves as a receptacle for systemic venous return and
pumps blood into the low pressure and highly compliant pulmonary circulation. It does its job dutifully
and seldom causes issues. However, when the right ventricle fails, it will give rise to a series of
problems that will need to be recognised and addressed given its difference from the left heart.
Hypoxaemia and hypercapnia are often present in ARDS and interventions to optimise oxygenation
and ventilation may not always be successful and may be associated with haemodynamic instability.
It is important to aware of important heart-lung interactions and to remember the intricate role of the
right ventricle in cardio-respiratory physiology. In this talk, we will review the diagnosis of acute cor
pulmonale and focus on the intricacies in the optimisation of right ventricular preload, contractility and
afterload.

Biography：
Assistant Professor James Yao-Ming Shih is the department chief and senior attending of the Acute Trauma & Surgical Critical Care Unit, Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

Dr. Shih was a Bachelor graduate in both Biochemistry and Microbiology from the University of Maryland, USA in 1994. He later pursuit his interest in medicine in the Philippines and graduated with his MD from the Fatima College of Medicine in 2001. After undergoing residency trainings in general surgery and cardiovascular surgery, he took up fellowships in vascular surgery, acute trauma care, and surgical critical care medicine at Cathay General Hospital, Taipei City, Taiwan. In 2017, he obtained his PhD in Clinical Nutrition from the Taipei Medical University and undertook short-term clinical fellowships in surgical intensive care and nutrition at Klinikum St. Georg, Leipzig, Germany and at Rabin Medical Centre, Petah Tikva, Israel. In 2018, he received his assistant professor status in the Institute of Human Metabolism & Obesity at Taipei Medical University, Taipei, Taiwan.

Dr. Shih is board certified in cardiovascular surgery, trauma critical care and surgical intensive care medicine. His area of practice includes post-surgical and trauma critical care, perioperative acute heart failure with ECMO support system, E-CPR and TTM and metabolic care bundles for neuroinflammation modulation, organ support systems with VV-ECMO and CRRT, adult critical care nutrition including TPN implementation, and elderly nutrition. His interests are in disease metabolism and metabolic approach (metabolic care) to the deranged metabolic stress associated with organ failures during the acute phase of illness.

Over the past decade, we have gained a deeper understanding of how caloric and protein needs fluctuate during the clinical course of critical illness as patients improve or deteriorate. Critical illness, whether triggered by infection (e.g., septic shock) or non-infectious causes (e.g., trauma or non-septic pancreatitis), is characterized by an inflammatory response and activation of the stress response, including the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis and the release of counter-regulatory hormones such as noradrenaline, glucagon, and cortisol, along with the onset of insulin resistance. These responses result in altered metabolism, including hyperglycaemia, hypermetabolism, and accelerated catabolism.

Consequently, our approach has evolved beyond simply calculating caloric and protein targets at a specific point in time. We now recognize the importance of phase-specific caloric and protein requirements, with adjustments made throughout the different stages of illness. For example, nutritional demands increase progressively from the acute phase through to the late phase of illness, continuing into the recovery phase or the persistent inflammatory/immunosuppressive catabolic syndrome (PICS) phase.

However, current clinical biomarkers are insufficient to precisely delineate these phases, complicating the application of tailored, phase-driven nutritional therapy. Moreover, our current understanding of metabolomic profiling in critically ill patients remains limited, and the process is time-consuming. This makes the implementation of point-of-care metabolomic profiling a significant challenge in the modern management of nutrition therapy for critically ill patients.

Neurointensive care is necessary to prevent secondary brain damage in comatose patients after return of spontaneous circulation. However, there are no neurointensive therapies that have been reported to be effective in randomized controlled trials, or the results are conflicting. In particular, discrepancies in temperature management have been pointed out as a cause of the mixed results of randomized controlled trials, and high quality temperature management has been proposed as a strategy to overcome these discrepancies. High-quality temperature management can be read as high-quality neurointensive care.
Another reason for the mixed results of the randomized controlled trials is that the severity of the patients included ranged from mild to the most severe. That is, in addition to patients with moderate severity of illness who should be eligible for the therapy, there are patients who are too mild to benefit from temperature management therapy and patients with the most severe illnesses who will not benefit from any therapy.
Although the selection of patients of moderate severity who should be indicated should originally be based on the severity of brain damage, in reality, patients are often selected based on systemic parameters. However, it has not been reported that high quality temperature control therapy, i.e., neurointensive care, is effective when selected based on systemic parameters. In the future, it will be necessary to select patients according to the severity of brain damage and prove efficacy in a small number of randomized controlled trials.

Electrical storm (ES) and malignant arrhythmias pose a serious threat to patients with structural heart disease, significantly increasing mortality rates. ES, characterized by recurrent ventricular arrhythmias within a short period, is a critical clinical situation that requires immediate intervention. Despite advancements in pharmacological and interventional therapies, managing ES remains a challenge due to its complex pathophysiology and high recurrence risk.
This presentation will discuss the latest pharmacological approaches, including the use of antiarrhythmic agents such as amiodarone, beta-blockers, and novel ion channel modulators. We will highlight the efficacy and limitations of these therapies, particularly in acute ES episodes and long-term prevention of arrhythmic events. Additionally, we will explore interventional therapies, such as catheter ablation, which has emerged as an essential strategy in reducing ES recurrences by targeting the arrhythmogenic substrate. Special attention will be given to the role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), as well as advanced techniques like stereotactic body radiation therapy for arrhythmia management.
