Target Audience:  

• Anaesthesiologists, Intensive Care Medicine doctors and Surgeons who want to update their knowledge about perioperative brain monitoring and how to best perform brain monitoring in the perioperative setting 
• This webinar will be open to anyone who wishes to view it, from whichever country they can access it. 

Methods to promote adult active learning: 

This webinar will include:  

1. Polls: to increase interactivity and engagement. Results from polls will lead to discussions points.   

1. Q&A sessions: to answer questions brought up by the host and submitted by the audience (in real-time). Questions will be filtered by the support staff to prioritise relevance. 

Learning Aim 

• To discuss the relevance of the use of brain monitoring devices during Anaesthesia and Intensive Care in an interactive debate format 

After Taking Part 

This webinar will enable the participants to: 

• List the indications and limitations for brain monitoring during anaesthesia and intensive care 

• Discuss the relevance of the use of brain monitoring devices during Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 
• Interpret basic patterns of brain monitoring readings 
• Critically appraise the available literature on brain monitoring devices 

Key points  

• Use of Brain Monitoring in Anaesthesia 
• Use of Brain Monitoring in Intensive Care 
• Characteristics and limitations of available devices 

Content 

• Pro/con debate on the relevance of the use of Brain Monitoring in two different clinical settings (Anaesthesia and Intensive Care)
