Workshops with limited access
Please note that when limited access is indicated preregistration will be necessary.
19W1 - Airway Hands-on Workshop: State of the Art (Saturday, 10:00-17:00)
- SOLD OUT
19W2* - Airway Hands-on Workshop: The Basics (Saturday, 10:00-17:00)
- 50 places left!
*The access is limited to 64 delegates per session; Tickets: €97
Chairs: Pierre A. Diemunsch (Strasbourg, France) - Flavia Petrini (Chieti-Pescara, Italy). The 19WS is endorsed by EAMS (European Airway Management Society); the Faculty includes experts from Europe and around the world.
Airway management is a cornerstone for the patient safety, the single most critical event not only during induction, but for the whole perioperative period in intensive care and for emergency medicine. Problems related to difficulties and errors in securing the airway may cause irreversible and catastrophic results for the patient, as the World Alliance for Patient Safety emphasized (WHO Guidelines for Safe Surgery 008).
The Airway Workshop will offer the chance to share with experts, to learn technical skills (basic and advanced), to recognise errors and avoid adverse outcomes associated with respiratory, thus improving safety in every setting in which anaesthesiologists are involved.
Safety practices do not appear to be used reliably in any country; because of cost and because of poor systematisation. The challenge is to identify solutions by defining a minimum set of uniform measures or techniques, characterised by wide applicability at any level of health-care facilities.
This year there will be two parallel, all day, hands-on sessions organised. The content of the two parallel workshops will be slightly different. The W1 ‘Airway Hands-on Workshop: State of the Art’ will be orientated towards the latest developments in Airway technologies for hospitals that have enough resources for investing in high-tech equipments; the W2 ‘Airway Hands-on Workshop: The basics’ will be dedicated to the most suitable material to be used in smaller hospitals with more limited resources.
10W1* - Paediatric ultrasound regional anaesthesia workshop
(Saturday, 14:00-15:30) - SOLD OUT
Presenters/instructors: Per-Arne Lönnqvist (Sweden), Peter Marhofer
(Austria), Harald Willschke (Austria)
The workshop will start with a very brief introductory presentation regarding ultrasound guided blocks, with a special focus on paediatric use. This will be followed by live scanning on paediatric models. The attendees will be divided in three groups and will be shown various approaches for upper extremity blocks, lower extremity blocks as well as truncal blocks, hopefully allowing the participants to get reasonable opportunities to handle the ultrasound probe themselves.
The aim of the workshop is to provide basic knowledge regarding this new technique and to provide fundamental skills to a level that will allow the attendees to start performing the most basic types of ultrasound guided blocks in children.
8W1 - Regional Anaesthesia Phantom Workshop 1 (Sunday, 09:00-12:00)
- SOLD OUT
8W2 - Regional Anaesthesia Phantom Workshop 2 (Sunday, 14:00-17:00)
- SOLD OUT
Presenters/instructors: Peter Marhofer (Austria), Barry Nicholls (UK),
Andrew Rosenberg (USA), Urs Eichenberger (Switzerland), Jovan Popovic (USA)
The regional anesthesia workshop will provide hands-on experience with simulators as well as observation of anatomy on live models for participants to learn ultrasound guided regional techniques. With the use of simulators of the upper and lower extremities attendees will be able to practice the basic techniques involved in performing ultrasound for brachial plexus, femoral, popliteal and sciatic blocks.
4W2* - Echocardiology Hands-on workshop (Sunday, 10:30-12:00) - SOLD OUT
Presenters/instructors: Jan Poelaert (Belgium), Berthold Bein (Germany),
Jochen Renner (Germany), Patrick Wouters (Belgium), Eric Sloth (Denmark)
The workshop will start with an introductory presentation on echocardiography in the adult patient. This will be followed by hands on allowing the participants to get reasonable opportunities to handle the ultrasound probe themselves.
The aim of the workshop is to provide some basic knowledge regarding indications and pitfalls of echocardiographic examination and to give an overview on TTE and TEE teaching in different European countries.
