Dear Collegues,
The overall success of intensive care medicine critically depends upon its multidisciplinarity and upon the integration of contemporary, evidence-based scientific findings into clinical practice.
The topics of the annual Hamburg Intensive Care Symposium „H.I.T. 2010“ will cover a wide range of relevant questions and controversies, including  new ventilatory strategies, organ support, immunology, sepsis diagnosis and therapy.
Like in the years before, we have the pleasure to announce once more an outstanding faculty of national and international key experts, who will share their knowledge and clinical expertise with us.
We hope that all participants will enjoy their springtime stay in the beautiful city of Hamburg, and we encourage everyone to interact, discuss and learn from each other.
As always, we are especially indebted to all our speakers and chairpersons who took every effort to guarantee the success of the symposium. We also acknowledge the generous support of the industry without which this meeting would not have been possible.

Welcome to „H.I.T. 2010”!

S. Kluge, MD      A. Nierhaus, MD
