The Pan American EVTM or PA-EVTM Forum will be convened in Houston, Texas on February 8th and 9th, 2018. The aims of PA-EVTM are three-fold:

1. Provide a dynamic, interactive discussion and debate with leaders and interested professionals in this evolving field at a venue more accessible to those in North, Central and South America,

2. Serve as an abbreviated primer conference for EVTM-?rebro to be held in June 2018 and

3. Provide a discussion and presentation venue for content to be considered by the new Journal of EVTM (JEVTM).
Who should attend the EVTM Symposium?

Hörer: Anybody who is interested in the treatment of hemostatically unstable patients. Trauma/general surgeons, vascular surgeons and nurses should be there, of course, but also anesthetists, interventional radiologists, prehospital providers, military providers, etc. We also hope to see gynecologists who deal with postpartum bleeding.

We are very interested in a multidisciplinary approach to these issues. This conference is a great opportunity for people to collaborate, and I hope everybody who has an interest in these exciting techniques can come and be a part of what we are doing.
