Educational Objectives 

The 30th Annual Symposium: Clinical update in 

Anesthesiology, Surgery and Perioperative Medicine is designed to 

help busy professionals advance their knowledge and keep current by 

providing a review of innovations, recent advances and best practices 

in cardiothoracic, vascular and general anesthesiology, surgery, 

perioperative medicine, and critical care. in addition, two hands-on 

workshops wiil be conducted for interested participants (ultrasound 

guided regional blocks, anesthesia simulator). 

At the conclusion of the symposium, participants wiIl be 

able to: 

1. Describe new diagnostic modalities, therapeutic agents and 

management strategies in the fields of cardiothoracic, vascular and 

general anesthesia, surgery, critical care and perioperative medicine 

2. Recognize and implement best practice anesthetic management of 

patients with significant comorbidities 

3. Discuss the current management of the patient with cardiac disease 

4. Regional Block Workshop participants: Scan the relevant 

nerves of the brachial plexus, the femoral nerve, and the sciatic 

nerve using ultrasound technology, identify the anatomy, 

and direct a regional block needle to the appropriate location 

to perform the desired nerve block under direct ultrasonic 

visualization. 

5. Anesthesia Simulator Workshop participants: Review and 

practice managing cardiac ischemia, dysrrythmias and cardiac arrest, 

as well as rare and critical pulmonary and cardiovascular events.
