Emergency Surgery Workshop Davos 2011
Saturday, December 10
Davos, Switzerland
Recent mega-catastrophes, including the Wenchuan earthquake of May 2008 and the Haiti earthquake of January 2010, have caused extremely large numbers of casualties. Many of the people rescued have shown life-threatening trauma that has required immediate surgery. At times, the international response to such disasters has revealed highly questionable practices in the delivery of emergency medical assistance. This contrasts with a broader tendency in recent years to improve standards of humanitarian intervention.
The Emergency Surgery Workshop Davos 2011 will demonstrate how to improve the quality of medical response, in particular by clarifying:
- efficient decision making in extremely stressful situations
- treatment of complicated limb fractures under emergency conditions
- questions about when and how amputation surgery is necessary

Leveraging mobile platforms, computational linguistics, geospatial technologies, and visual analytics to power effective early warning for rapid response to complex humanitarian emergencies.

The purpose of ICCM 2010 was to bring together the most engaged practitioners, scholars, software developers and policymakers at the cutting edge of crisis mapping to address and assess the role of crisis mapping and humanitarian technology in the disaster response to Haiti. ICCM 2010 brought together the major players working on Haiti earthquake response to identify lessons learned and formulate best practices for the use of technology in future crises.
ICCM 2010 followed the highly successful ICCM 2009 event which brought together many of the actors currently responding in Haiti to foster a closer network of collaboration. ICCM 2010 will therefore bring together actors from the CrisisMappers network and beyond including high-level policy makers, leading scholars, seasoned humanitarian practitioners and innovative software and technology developers.
