Dear Faculty and Participants:

Welcome to Venice and the Birth Congress.

Previous Congresses have been held in Rome, Chicago, Fortaleza (Brazil) and Beijing. We have selected Palazzo del Cinema for the Birth Congress this year. It is located on the Lido di Venezia, which is the main headquarter for the Venice International Film Festival.

The Congress focuses on the challenges facing clinicians in Labor and Delivery Units worldwide. The emphasis of the Congress is clinical obstetrics and the faculty includes distinguished intellectual leaders from all over the world.

The last day of the Congress will be devoted to preterm birth and will coincide with World Prematurity Day, which is on November 17th.

Our Opening Ceremony will be on Thursday, November 15th at the conclusion of the scientific sessions.

The program will also be available in the Birth Congress IDT (interactive digital tool) along with many other features such as Q&A with the speakers. You will receive additional details upon check-in at the Congress.

An important development is the Birth Platform, which will include regular posts of recently published scientific material that is relevant to clinical practice. We encourage you to join the Birth Platform to stay informed on the latest developments. You can register for this at the Birth Platform Booth located at the congress venue.

Sincerely,

Gian Carlo di Renzo, MD, PhDCongress President

Roberto Romero, MD, D.MeD.Sci.Congress President

09.00 - 16.30 COURSE 2 TECHNIQUES OF CESAREAN DELIVERY AND SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF PPH Course Directors: Vincenzo Berghella, USA; Jose Palacios-Jaraquemada, Argentina

An update of classical obstetric procedures is proposed in a compact format. Certain aspects of cesarean section are up to date according to recent data and investigation, which also include hazardous scenarios analyzed from skilled specialists. The postpartum hemorrhage is reviewed from the classic procedures until new approaches for treatment. Use of simple examples will be useful to explain why is necessary to apply some change of paradigms. We will do a particular effort to provide a simple, clear, and useful information for the clinical practice, which include information from prospective randomized trials. Use of learning objectives allows us to put a focus in controversial points.

09.00 - 17.30 COURSE 3 ACUTE EMERGENCIES (DIC, AF EMBOLISM, HEART FAILURE, ANESTHESIA ETC) Course Directors: Krzysztof M. Kuczkowski, USA; Wolfgang Henrich, Germany; Offer Erez, Israel

Acute life threatening obstetric and non-obstetric related emergencies in pregnancy are rare. Common obstetric complications such as postpartum hemorrhage due to atony, deeply invasive placenta implantation disorders, placental abruption, obstetric trauma, severe preeclampsia, eclampsia and peripartum infections can indeed occasionally be fatal. However, even experienced obstetricians have to be aware of the other major acute diseases that are relatively rare in obstetrics such as cardiac arrest, amniotic fluid embolism, idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, aortic dissection, peripartum cardiomyopathy, severe acute respiratory diseases and anesthetic complications. Most of these relatively rare life threatening complications may present with unspecific or atypical symptoms and will require interdisciplinary investigations including for example a detailed physical examination, echocardiography, abdominal ultrasound and specific blood tests. The interdisciplinary teamwork of anesthetists, surgeons, cardiologists, internal medicine specialists, hematologists and obstetrician is essential for the early diagnosis and appropriate therapy in these situations.The course of Acute Emergencies is brought by experienced and specialized obstetricians from all over the world will hold lectures during the course, and present not only the typical obstetrical emergencies but also the most relevant thoracic, abdominal and systemic illnesses with case presentations highlighting the pathophysiology and current management strategies of such life threatening complications.

Current expectations on a favourable neonatal outcome leave little room for error in intrapartum fetal monitoring, but at the same time it is necessary to maintain low obstetric intervention rates. This course focuses on the pathophisiologic changes behind fetal heart rate patterns, their interpretation and management. It is based on the 2015 FIGO guidelines for intrapartum fetal monitoring.
