EUROPEAN RESUSCITATION COUNCIL

CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME

Welcome to Stavanger and Resuscitation 2006 – From Science to Survival. This is the 8th Scientifi c Congress of the European

Resuscitation Council and with delegate numbers exceeding those for any previous ERC Congress I am anticipating an exciting and inspirational event.

The Organising and Scientifi c Committees have developed a programme that integrates stimulating science and local Norwegian culture which, I am sure,

will provide a long and lasting memory of Resuscitation 2006.

The Scientifi c Programme refl ects the title of the Congress. The opening sessions will look at the development of the Consensus on Science

and the new European Resuscitation Guidelines both published in Resuscitation towards the end of 2005. Presentations will examine the major

changes introduced in the new recommendations, how these have been accepted and implemented and review relevant new science that has been

published since the completion of the science review process. The fi rst day fi nishes with individual interactive sessions chaired by the fi ve ERC ILCOR

representatives, together with additional international ILCOR members, reviewing and discussing the implementation of the new guidelines both in

Europe and around the world.

The Scientifi c programme for day two continues the theme of the Congress but now expands it to the many and varied topics associated with

Resuscitation. The Scientifi c Committee has invited speakers from all over the world to present Resuscitation science and practice that will make this

an intellectual experience not to be missed. The programme includes the latest developments in Therapeutic Hypothermia and In-Hospital

Resuscitation, the evolution of Medical Emergency Teams (together with case presentations), new concepts in Education, Emergency

Cardiac Care and Trauma, a review of Quality Improvement in Resuscitation, the management of Special Circumstances and

Paediatric Resuscitation, and an interactive discussion with case presentations on Ethics.

Day Three will take the Congress theme and look at the future. Scientifi c Breakthroughs and New Technology and Emergency Medical Dispatch are two

keys to the future of Resuscitation. This last day will also introduce presentations on the concept of the ‘Formula for Survival’.

Medical Science x Educational Effi ciency x Local Implementation = Survival

This concept was fi rst introduced following an ILCOR Symposium on Education in Resuscitation held at the Utstein Abbey in 2002. In a pre-congress

meeting, 35 international experts were invited back to the Abbey to evaluate the concept of the Formula, derive the key elements of Survival, to debate

the strengths and weaknesses of the Consensus on Science Process, to evaluate the effi ciency, quality and clinical performance of new educational

programmes and to defi ne the key organisational issues, barriers and boundaries that limit the local implementation of guidelines. The results of these

deliberations, only completed 72 hours previously, will be presented to the Congress, thereby opening the doors of this latest Utstein Abbey Symposium

to its largest number of participants.

The European Resuscitation Council was delighted to receive over 400 submissions for free paper presentations for this Congress. The Scientifi c

Committee has accepted over 90% of submissions to be presented as full paper presentations, poster plus short paper presentations and poster

presentation only. Free papers have been scheduled throughout the three days of the Congress and posters will be on display in the Congress venue.

I am particularly delighted with the response by our Business Partners and other commercial companies to our request for a Scientifi c and Technical

Exhibition to accompany this Congress. The Exhibition is an essential part of our Congress and I must take this opportunity to thank all our exhibitors for

their support at Resuscitation 2006.

Last, but not least, is the Social Programme. The local organising committee have excelled themselves in providing a wide range of social activities that

refl ect the city of Stavanger and its surroundings. The City is beautiful and deserves exploration but do not miss the opportunities to visit the Utstein

Abbey or Pulpit Rock (by boat or on the organised hike).

Finally I must pay tribute to our co-hosts, the Norwegian Resuscitation Council, together with Akuttjournalen and our local partners the Norwegian

Air Ambulance, the Stavanger University Hospital, the SAFER centre, Laerdal Medical, STATOIL and the City of Stavanger. Without their support this

Congress would not be the success that it richly deserves to be.

Enjoy.

David Zideman

Chairman European Resuscitation Council


Hosting Resuscitation 2006, Stavanger extends a historical chain of international events within acute medicine which dates back to the First International Symposium of Resuscitationin 1961, and also includes a number of Utstein Conferences.

Laerdal strives to assist our partners locally and worldwide in helping save lives, and welcomesconference participants to visit our facilities on Thursday May 11 and Friday May 12.Please register at the Laerdal booth for a visit that includes a light lunch and a tour of the Laerdal museum and our facilities.

Welcome to Stavanger


The City of Stavanger Welcomes Resuscitation 2006

It is with great pleasure for me to welcome you all to Stavanger and to Resuscitation 2006, the 8th Scientifi c Congress of the European

Resuscitation Council.

I am delighted with the choice of Stavanger being the place where Resuscitation 2006 will provide the latest insight into the Science of

Resuscitation. With the Utstein meetings, ILCOR Science update, the new ERC Guidelines and new educational materials, this will be an

experience to be remembered.

We have a proud tradition for hosting important trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine meetings, and the historic grounds of

Resuscitation are remarkable:

1961: Stavanger hosted the fi rst international Expert Meeting on Resuscitation, which led to a general recommendation for lay people to adopt

the mouth-to-mouth method as a life-saving fi rst aid procedure.

1967: the fi rst International Guidelines on Resuscitation published by the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists were distributed in

12 languages from Stavanger.

1990: recommendations for a common, international template for reporting pre-hospital cardiac arrest were agreed at the medieval Utstein

Abbey near Stavanger.

This year’s highlight is the new development on resuscitation medicine and the Congress will gather 2000

delegates and faculty from around the world.

Stavanger has a long history of worldwide trade contacts. Today, Stavanger is best known for it’s position as the home of Norway’s energy

industry; supplying about one-third of Europe’s gas needs. The City has a friendly and charming downtown area, full of shops, bars and cafes as

well as hosting many concerts, events, exhibitions and festivals. The cultural beat of our City has made it possible for the Stavanger region to

become the European Capital of Culture in 2008. We will build on our determination and fl exibility to see new possibilities and act accordingly.

A further aim is to explore beyond the horizon, towards the unknown, towards new partnerships, new skills and experience.

The city is surrounded by some of Norway’s most varied and spectacular natural scenery. Open sea and sweeping vistas, narrow fjords and

steep mountains, the Pulpit rock and the magnifi cent Kjerag, some of the fi nest beaches in Europe, deep clear

fjords scattered with picturesque isles - all giving a feel of nature’s strength and beauty.

I hope you will be able to experience some of this as you take part in the Congress, and that you will enjoy

yourself here in Stavanger. I am sure that the Congress Organisers, and the inhabitants of Stavanger will do

their best to make sure that you do just that.

Once again, welcome to Stavanger.

Leif Johan Sevland, Mayor of Stavanger

The Norwegian Resuscitation Council Welcomes the ERC and Resuscitation 2006

700,000 Europeans suffer from Sudden Cardiac Arrest every year. We are committed to saving even more of those

victims’ lives and this is the reason we work hard with science, teaching and the implementation of Guidelines.

This is also the real reason why we gather here in Stavanger: To unite our forces and to strengthen our struggle for life for

the victims of sudden cardiac arrest and other immediate life threatening conditions.

We gather in Stavanger under the motto “From Science to Survival”. This obligation gives us the direction for our devotion.

The new International Guidelines represent the latest insight into Resuscitation Science and provide us with a valuable tool

to enforce our efforts against pain and premature death.

Let this inspire us to make the 8th Scientifi c Congress of the European Resuscitation Council in Stavanger a melting pot

for good science, exchanging of ideas and the promotion of good teaching and practical implementation of the Science of

Resuscitation throughout Europe for the years to come.

The Norwegian Resuscitation Council is proud to host the ERC, the faculty, all delegates and business partners in

Stavanger. We hope that the atmosphere from earlier achievements in Resuscitation history which has taken place in this

City and its surroundings will inspire all delegates to greater achievements to save more lives when, in a few days, we all

leave for home and go back to our National Resuscitation Councils to implement what we agree on here.

In addition to our serious and important scientifi c matters, we also hope that all of you will you use the opportunity to

enjoy Stavanger and what it has

to offer - culture, a good meal, jazz, excursions to the Utstein Abbey, the Air Ambulance base, the SAFER Foundation, the

Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, the Rescue Helicopter Squadron or a spectacular hike to the Pulpit Rock.

The Norwegian Resuscitation Council is grateful to all the international business partners and local sponsors. Without

their support an event like this would not have been possible. The Board would especially thank our local co-partners: The

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine “Akuttjournalen” and its team, Stavanger University

Hospital, the SAFER foundation, The Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation, STATOIL, the City of Stavanger and not least

all the volunteers who will do everything to make your stay in Stavanger enjoyable.

We are also grateful to the ERC for trusting us to host this big event. During the days to come, The

Norwegian Resuscitation Council and local partners will do everything they can to make you all feel

welcome and to make this Congress a great step forward for both Science and Survival.

Kristian Lexow, Chairman of the Norwegian Resuscitation Council

Join us to learn more about the next generation CPR training.

Come and experience for yourself! You will receive your own mannikin, and while you are training you will be supervised on how to perform CPR by a professional instructor on DVD.

This concept can be used anywhere at anytime by anyone, in school, at home and donʼt forget: show it to your friends. This way the CPR knowledge will be distributed all over. We need more bystanders initiating CPR in order to save more lives.

Itʼs a question of feeling as safe and prepared as possible in case of an emergency.

EXHIBITION AREA



STAVANGER - A CENTRE OF RESUSCITATION MEDICINEStavanger is one of the few cities in the world where survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are signifi cantly higher than average. The early

groundwork for this achievement was made in 1960, when Bjørn Lind demonstrated that school children could learn mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After

the fi rst international symposium on resuscitation had been held in Stavanger the following year, its recommendations were widely disseminated through

JAMA and other publications. In 1990, a meeting at Utstein Abbey outside Stavanger spurred the process that led to the establishment and systematic

revisions of the so-called “Utstein” guidelines.

In Stavanger a strong Chain of Survival has been developed, in co-operation between professional health carers, rescue organisations, the Norwegian Air

Ambulance, and Laerdal. In 1995, the town hosted the Scandinavian Conference on Disaster and Emergency Medicine. In 2000, AirMed 2000 was organised

in Stavanger, followed by TraumaCare 2002 Scandinavia and the 6th Scandinavian CPR conference. In 2005, the city hosted the Scandinavian Update on

Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine.

Stavanger’s position is now being strengthened further by the establishing of the research centre SAFER, Stavanger Acute medicine Foundation for

Education and Research.

About the host cityAlthough Stavanger has developed a lively, cosmopolitan culture over the last 30 years, it has retained its intimate, small-town feel. Founded in the early

1100s as the seat of a bishopric, the town struggled for survival until rich herring fi shing in the 1800s injected vitality and enterprise. When the herring failed,

sardines provided new opportunities: King Oscar became a well-known brand on several continents for over half a century. The next chapter in the town

history opened in the late 1960s with the arrival of the fi rst oil drilling platform. Phillips’ major Ekofi sk fi nd, in 1970, led to a rapid infl ux of an international

community, and to Stavanger’s new role as Norway’s centre for the offshore petroleum industry. Today, Norway supplies about 1/3rd of the gas used in

Europe.

Modern Stavanger combines a lively café and restaurant scene with a wide choice in arts and entertainment – strengths that led to the town being chosen as

a cultural capital of Europe in 2008. This is an attractive place to stroll, both in the meandering pedestrian streets in the centre by the cathedral, and through

the picturesque “Gamle Stavanger” area on the hill by the bay. And the cathedral itself, with its combination of Norman and high Gothic architecture and

equipped with a rich Baroque pulpit made by the Scottish immigrant Andrew Smith in the 1600s, is well worth a visit.

The social centre for the Congress, Hall Toll, is the old customs house.

“Stavanger welcomes Resuscitation 2006”The City of Stavanger together with the local partners is proud to be the host city for the 8th Scientifi c Congress of the European Resuscitation Council. It is

not only an honour and pleasure to welcome you as a Congress participant but also as a visitor to the city of Stavanger.

The Cty of Stavanger would like to show its appreciation by being visible during the Congress. You will see fl ags at the airport, at the venue and in the city

centre with the message “Stavanger welcomes Resuscitation 2006”. You will also see taxi drivers, bus drivers, hotel and restaurant staff wearing the same

badges.

We have made up a mini folder showing the contents of the Scientifi c and Social Programme which you can easily slip inside your pocket. At the back you

will fi nd a fold up map with all the necessary details on how to make your stay here in Stavanger as comfortable possible.

Once again the city of Stavanger welcomes Resuscitation 2006.

Currency, exchange, credit cardsThe Norwegian krone, NOK, is divided into 100 øre, but the smallest coin is 50 øre. Credit cards are used widely, and Eurocard/Mastercard, Visa, American

Express and Diners Club are most common. Cash points are easy to fi nd.

NOK 100 = EUR 13 GBP 9 USD 16 CAD 19 AUD 21 NZD 22 ZAR 100

The Centre´s aim is to reinforce the acute medical education and patient safety. This will be achieved primarily by stimulating the competence development among the proper personnel from the three partners.SAFER will be networking with international leading medical simulation centres and the centre will also develop courses, and contribute to research activities. SAFER celebrates the Grand Opening of its facilities of almost 1000 m2 on May 12, in Seehusensgate 1 in Stavanger.

Thursday and Friday during ERC 2006, SAFER opens the doors for up to 50 of the congress participants to enjoy lunch and a tour of the new SAFER facilities.A bus will be provided. Please register at the ERC 2006 information desk for the SAFER lunch.

The knowledge and power to make a difference.

Ensuring quality CPR as recommended by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2005 Guidelines for Resuscitation.

The ERC Guidelines for Resuscitation 2005 focus on quality CPR:1. Quality Compressions2. Quality ventilations 3. Minimal interruptions

Survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest have been virtually unchanged over the last 25 years. There are now realistic hopes to increase these rates significantly over the next 5 -10 years.

Q-CPR is an exciting new technology platform which is the result ofcollaboration with many leading CPR research centres over recent years. Itenables real-time measurement and feedback of essential CPR parameters as well as parameter logging for post-event debriefing or analysis.

Laerdal and Philips are proud to announce the introduction of this newtechnology into the Heartstart MRx Monitor / Defibrillator. This is the first of a series of products that will be introduced using Q-CPR technology.

Join the luncheon seminar on Thursday May 11th to learn more about Q-CPR.

CPREzy

The ERC Resuscitation Guidelines have made it clear that after a cardiac arrest, the

quality of chest compressions is critical to outcome. Yet, various papers report that,

both in hospital and out of hospital rescuer performance is poor.

Some expensive solutions exist but the CPREzy device is the low cost, portable and

immediate solution to helping ensure consistently correct chest compressions are

performed. CPREzy requires minimal training as clear guidance and feedback comes

via a built-in metronome and a series of lights.

Published papers in Resuscitation have confi rmed that it works and at such a low

cost there is no need to tolerate poor quality.

Try it for yourself.

EMCOOLS

Emergency Medical Cooling Systems AG is developing and marketing effi cient

methods for rapid induction of therapeutic mild hypothermia, and, together

with leading scientists, investigating other future indications for therapeutic mild

hypothermia.

Therapeutic mild hypothermia (32-34 °C) / [89,6-93,2 °F] improves survival rate

(+31%) and quality of neurological outcome (+41% Cerebral Performance Category

1 and 2) after cardiac arrest in humans.

Numerous animal studies clearly showed that the time elapsing between cardiac

arrest and reaching the target temperature has a signifi cant infl uence on the survival

rate and the positive neurological recovery.

EMCOOLSpad is a surface-cooling device which is highly adjustable to the human

body.

It is characterized by being “easy-to-use”, low-cost, very high cooling rates, low-

weight and its independence from energy supplies during use. It is easily portable,

noninvasive and therefore particularly suitable for emergency use outside the

hospital.

Better chances of survival – better survival!

Life Recovery Systems

Life Recovery Systems has developed an innovative system for rapidly cooling a

patient’s core temperature: the ThermoSuit System (TSS). The TSS consists of a

disposable body suit and a means to pump coolant within the suit over the skin

of the patient. It is the fi rst device for patient temperature management that

conveniently provides a thin layer of rapidly fl owing liquid coolant in direct contact

with the skin. This approach gives the TSS outstanding capabilities to rapidly and

non-invasively change patient temperature. The TSS approach is covered under

issued and pending U.S. patents exclusively licensed to Life Recovery Systems.

This device has been designed for ease of use by the clinicians who treat Cardiac

Arrest patients and has the potential to quickly cool these patients and potentially

increase their survival. Recent guidelines issued by ILCOR and the American Heart

Association suggest early and rapid cooling of patients who have suffered an Arrest

may improve their chances of survival. Life Recovery Systems’ ThermoSuit System is

a breakthrough device in the fi eld of Therapeutic Hypothermia.
