Airway Hands-on Workshop 3/12/2010 12:00:00 AM

The Airway Hands-on Workshop will take place on Saturday 12 June 2010 in Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre. 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.

Register to the workshop of your choice at the same time as you register to the Euroanaesthesia Congress.

 

19W1* - Airway Hands-on Workshop: State of the Art (Saturday, 10:00-17:00)
19W2* - Airway Hands-on Workshop: The Basics (Saturday, 10:00-17:00)
*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.
