🎤 Live from IFAD 2017 in Antwerp, Belgium! We're joined now by two local attendees, Sim and Tom, who've come to the conference from nearby. 👋 "We're from Brussels," they tell us. "I work in Bruges," says Sim, "and Tom works at the University Hospital in Brussels." 🗣️ So why did they come to IFAD? "We know about the conference because our new Head of the Intensive Care Department is Professor Malbrain," Tom explains. "He invited us, and even though I'm a trainee in internal medicine and Sim's more in nuclear medicine, it's a great opportunity to learn about fluid and critical care—areas we don't get exposed to much." When asked about highlights from the day, Sim says: 🧠 "There's been a lot of really good information—I've picked up so many take-home points, I can't even choose one specific thing." Tom adds: 💡 "One of the most interesting presentations for me was about the choice of maintenance fluids—both in pediatrics and stable adult patients. It really made me reflect on the importance of tailoring fluids to the individual patient, rather than just following routine practice." And they both agree: 💬 "Fluids should be considered a medicine, not just an afterthought or a standard protocol. That perspective really stood out to us." 👏 Thank you to Tom and Sim for sharing your reflections! 🎥 This has been your live update from IFAD 2017—stay tuned for more conversations and insights from the floor. 📍 #IFAD2017 #FOAMed #FluidTherapy
