Young Investigator Award at the ERS International Virtual Congress 2020 - post-conference report
I'm greatly honored to receive the Young Investigator Award at the virtual ERS International Congress 2020. I'd like to express my deep gratitude for the numerous supports from ERS and APSR.
I was very pleased to have the opportunity to present our work entitled "Time to advanced airway management and neurologically favourable survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest" in the Oral Presentation Session. In the presentation, I showed the findings of our nationwide population-based observational study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from 2014 to 2017, that delay in advanced airway management was associated with decreased chance of neurologically intact survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Thanks to heated discussion and constructive comments, the session was very exciting and beneficial for me. This virtual live session was my first experience, so I was very nervous before the start of the session, but it was fun and exciting actually.
During the congress, I got the latest updates on state-of-the-art Critical Care Medicine, and valuable take-home knowledge from cutting-edge presentations of original scientific research in several sessions. Also, I could view numerous interesting e-posters in a variety of presentations, including the COVID-19 sessions. The latest findings from top clinicians and scientists around the world will be of great help to me.
Thank you again for the support from the APSR and ERS to attend the virtual ERS International Congress.
