Q&A
All Faculty
 
Learning Objectives
The use of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is well-established in the critical care setting, but its application and potential in the perianesthesia environment were less recognized until now. In 2015, the delivery of transnasal humidified high-flow oxygen was first shown to prolong safe apnea time during general anesthesia. This paved the way for hundreds of clinical studies that have since been published, highlighting the use and benefits of HFNO in different procedures inside and outside the operating theatre.
Today, HFNO has been incorporated into numerous airway guidelines with increasing evidence of its role in optimizing oxygenation and reducing the risk of desaturation events in anesthesia.
In this session, our expert panel consisting of the president of the Difficult Airway Society (DAS) and the editor of Anaesthesia, will discuss the role of HFNO for airway management and share their clinical experiences. Please grab some lunch and join us.
 

  • Time: 12:50 – 13:50
  • Room: Summit 2
  • Title: Uncertainties and Facts Guiding Sustainable Anesthesia
View Programme

Uncertainties and Facts Guiding Sustainable Anesthesia
Peter Kienbaum, Düsseldorf, Germany
 
Learning Objectives
Are we about to ban inhaled anesthetics? This symposium explores the many uncertainties as well as facts revolving around the topic of Sustainable Anesthesia, and examines the relevance of carbon footprint in this area. Alternative methods of decreasing carbon footprint in inhaled anesthetics will also be discussed using recent and relevant studies as well as technologies.

Q&A 
All Faculty
 
Learning Objectives
The ERAS® Society guidelines identifies evidence-based clinical considerations and recommendations that promote optimal anesthesia care for patients undergoing surgery. Unintended perioperative hypothermia remains a significant clinical problem with severe associated complications and high incidence. This symposia aims to promote the importance of ERAS® Society guidelines; particularly its relevance for the anaesthesiologist and to educate on the ERAS® guidelines pertaining to preventing unintended perioperative hypothermia that includes practical insights for consideration.
 

  • Time: 11:45 – 12:45
  • Room: 405B
  • Title: Advancing Patient-Centered Precision Care With Neuromonitoring
View Programme

Introduction by Chair

Neuromonitoring in-depth use and practice
Matthias Kreuzer, Munich, Germany
 
Q&A
All Faculty
 
Learning Objectives
This scientific symposium sponsored by Medtronic will explore the role of neuromonitoring in identifying depth of anesthesia and targeting patient-centered care for anesthesia delivery. In this course, Dr. Kreuzer and Dr. Radtke will discuss processed EEG technology, the latest society guideline advancements, evidence-based clinical applications, and practical use cases of neuromonitoring techniques. Attendees will gain valuable insights on knowledge of neuromonitoring to optimize anesthesia care, reduce complications, and enhance patient safety by adopting a holistic anesthesia monitoring approach.
The learning objectives are for attendees to:
  • Understand the importance of targeting anesthesia to the patient needs to improve outcomes
  • Learn how neuromonitoring and processed EEG can customizing the delivery of patient anesthesia
  • Explore use cases for how this can benefit patients in practical applications.
