Scientific Sessions

Acute Care, Critical Care, and Emergency Nursing play a pivotal role in delivering rapid, life-saving interventions to patients with severe, life-threatening, or unstable conditions. This nursing discipline requires advanced clinical knowledge, swift decision-making, and the ability to function effectively in high-pressure situations. Acute care nursing focuses on the immediate and short-term treatment of patients with sudden illnesses or injuries, aiming to stabilize their condition and prevent further deterioration. Critical care nursing, often carried out in intensive care units (ICUs), involves caring for patients with complex, multi-organ dysfunctions, requiring continuous monitoring, advanced therapeutic interventions, and close coordination with multidisciplinary teams. Emergency nursing, typically practiced in emergency departments, emphasizes the quick assessment, triage, and prioritization of patients based on the severity of their condition. Professionals in this field are trained in advanced life support, trauma care, and the use of specialized medical technologies, ensuring rapid and precise treatment that can make the difference between life and death.

The integration of acute, critical, and emergency nursing underscores the need for specialized competencies in assessment, intervention, and communication. Nurses in these domains often encounter diverse cases, including cardiac arrest, severe respiratory distress, multi-trauma injuries, sepsis, and acute neurological crises. They must be proficient in managing ventilators, administering high-alert medications, performing emergency procedures, and interpreting diagnostic data under time constraints. Beyond technical skills, these nurses serve as patient advocates, providing emotional support to patients and their families during moments of extreme distress. Continuous professional development, simulation-based training, and adherence to evidence-based protocols are essential to maintain high standards of care. This scientific session will explore the latest advancements, best practices, and emerging trends in acute care, critical care, and emergency nursing, with a focus on improving patient outcomes, optimizing workflow efficiency, and enhancing resilience among nursing professionals in these demanding environments.
