Welcome 

Dear colleagues! 

As the President of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology 

and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) it is my pleasure to 

welcome you all to our 31.Biennial Congress, this time in 

beautiful Bergen. 

This SSAI Congress is a joint venture with the Norwegian 

Society of Anaesthesiology (NAF). I am very happy to see 

that the co-operation between SSAI and the National Society 

has worked as good here as it did in Odense in 2009 and 

Gothenburg in 2007. Only together will we get better and 

bigger and be able to compete on the international congress 

market. But, on the other side we do not want to become too 

big. The Scandinavian Congresses have always had a certain 

flavour that we would like to nourish and develop further. 

The “Bergen Crew” chaired by Professor Hans Flaatten has 

worked hard to secure this through a fantastic scientific and 

social program. 

For now please enjoy the scientific and social program, including 

the already famous “Moon-walk”. Please note that this Congress 

includes a much higher level of interactivity between you as 

a participant and the Faculty compared to other congresses. 

Make use of it. 

Our main sponsors and exhibitors make our biennial congresses 

doable. We have a big and very interesting Exhibition area for 

you to visit. The SSAI Congress is an excellent meeting point 

for you and your colleagues from all over Scandinavia and 

elsewhere. Feel home, and please help us make sure everyone 

else feels at home and included too!

Dear Participant! 

On behalf of Bergen city, Haukeland University Hospital, 

the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care and 

University of Bergen; we are honored and proud to host the 

31st SSAI congress. 

Preparation of the congress has been an on-going process since 

the previous congress in Odense in 2009. At an early stage it 

was decided to do something ”radical” with the content of the 

congress. In spite of all recent knowledge about learning and 

education, most congresses still devote most of the time to 

catheter-based lectures. We hence had as a goal to have half 

of the congress time devoted to interactivity. As a result, three 

out of 7-8 parallel sessions are simulation sessions, not as an 

add-on with ”extra-cost”, but integrated as part of the whole 

congress. This idea has become a reality thanks to a number 

of enthusiastic co-workers and a supportive industry! 

We have, as you will experience, also said farewell to traditional 

poster presentation and oral poster sessions, and have merged 

the two into “electronic poster presentation”. The format is the 

traditional poster, with standing audience around the presenter, 

but content and form is more from the oral session. We hope 

your will enjoy it. You can also find the electronic posters on 

the congress USB stick!

Deaconess Hospital, Bergen 

We will of course have a number of more traditional lectures, 

and also interactive sessions on Friday. 

Do not forget to experience some of Bergen when you are 

here. Take a stroll in the characteristic wooden house area in 

Fjellsiden (“mountain side”), and start your walking at the lower 

station of the funicular Fløybanen. You may also continue up 

to Fløyen (altitude 320 m/1h walk) where we will have the 

congress dinner on Friday evening. Our congress providers 

will also help you with more suggestions for exploring Bergen 

and its surroundings. 

A lot of people have been working to get this congress up and 

running, in particular the congress committee and the simulation 

faculty! Thanks also to the Department of Anaesthesiology 

and Intensive Care at Haukeland University Hospital for access 

to its man/woman power. The SSAI board has also been supportive 

of the new concepts, for which we are grateful. I am also 

happy to recognize the continuing support from the industry 

to the SSAI congress; obviously they also find it of importance. 

ENJOY!

Social program 

Wednesday June 15 | 18:30 – 20:00 

Reception, Grieghallen 

Photo: Bergen Tourist Board/Willy Haraldsen 

After the end of the first congress day there will be an 

informal Opening Reception hosted by the City of Bergen 

in the exhibition area in Grieghallen. 

Admission: Free (for participants that have registered for 

this Reception at their registration). 

After the reception an out-door concert is scheduled on the 

square outside Grieghallen: the world farewell tour for the 

heavy metal band Judas Priest. (Concert admission is not 

included in your registration) 

Thursday June 16 | 20:00 – > 

Full-moon walk across “Vidden” 

The announced “Full moon walk across Vidden” was overbooked 

due to a much larger interest in this event than 

anticipated. 

For safety reasons, we had to limit the number of 

participants. 

If the weather outlook is reasonable we will have a 

fresh “on site” registration in the form of sale of a limited 

number of tickets for the Ulriken cable car (NOK 

100) starting at the registration desk in Grieghallen 

Wednesday June 15 from 15.00h. 

Please, observe: 

• The ”Full-moon walk across Vidden” is a fairly demanding, 

12-14 km walk along the mountain ridge from Ulriken to 

Fløien (total ascent: 250m, total descent: 800 m.) suitable 

for the more fit congress participant. 

• This mountain walk will only be implemented if weather 

conditions are reasonable 

• Most of the walk will be on uneven paths in a mountainous 

terrain, some areas may be wet. Participants should 

have sturdy shoes. 

• Participants are advised to bring their own backpack for 

extra clothing (wind-/ waterproof jacket, a pullover, a cap, 

and possibly also gloves, their camera, and some food (a 

baguette, some chocolate, and a bottle of water to drink)). 

• Even if we are close to Mid-summer, the evening temperature 

may drop below 10°C. 

• As most of the tour is above the three line, a wind may also 

have a quite chilling effect. 

• Meeting point will probably be the lower station of the 

Ulriksbanen cable car at 20.00h. 

• After arriving at the top station (607 m) you will need 

3,5–4 hours to walk across “Vidden” to Fløien and then 

down to the city centre and your hotel. 

• If weather conditions are favourable you will experience 

a memorable walk with the full moon rising in the east, 

towards the sunset in north-west at around 23.05 h. 

• Local colleagues will act as tour guides.

Participate in a short 

interview, win an iPad,! 

How do you rate the simulation session? 

How do you like the exhibition? 

This and other aspects of the congress are 

important for us to know, and as a part of the 

congress we have a small project to evaluate 

various aspects of the simulation sessions in 

particular, but also the congress in general. 

Hence we want to interview a number of 

congress participants, both from those of you 

who have experience from our simulation sessions, 

and those who have not. The interview 

will take 5-7 minutes, and will be performed 

directly on an Ipad. We have two interviewers 

Thursday and Friday, one going around, and 

another at a dedicated booth (look for the 

Win-an-Ipad-sign!). 

Those participating will take part in a draw 

after the congress, and both Ipads will then 

be given to two lucky winners.

3030 | Manufacturer of PulmoVista® 500 is the Dräger Medical GmbH 

PulmoVista 500 – New insights into the lung 

The PulmoVista 500 shows up to 50 images of lung ventilation per second. It is 

the world‘s first EIT (electrical impedance tomography) device intended for 

everyday clinical use, which depicts the regional distribution of the ventilation volume 

in the lung continuously right at the patient‘s bedside. This makes it possible for the 

physician track the impact of ventilation therapy in real time. PulmoVista 500 is ready 

for use within minutes and works without radiation. 

Product characteristics and advantages 

- Continuous information about the regional distribution of ventilation, represented 

as dynamic images, curves and parameters 

- Trend mapping of changes in end-expiratory lung volume 

- Mechanical ventilation may lead to lung damage and even sepsis if incorrectly 

applied. Information about the regional ventilation distribution is thus of vital 

importance for the therapy of mechanically ventilated patients. 

- Monitoring with PulmoVista 500 is non-invasive and does not require 

radiation in contrast to chest X-rays and CT (Computed Tomography) scans.

Simulation sessions 

Three simulation sessions will run in parallel throughout the congress. Congress participants have had the possibility to preregister 

for specific simulation sessions and times. Many of the sessions are thus fully booked.
