- The submitting and presenting authors are required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before the submission.
- Only the abstracts of presenting authors who have completed their registrations and paid their registration fees by the registration deadline for abstract presenters (May 27, 2022) will be included in the Scientific Programme, in the PDF abstract book and the WFPICCS 2022 Supplement issue of the PCCM (Pediatric Critical Care Medicine) Journal.
