Target Audience
- Every anaesthesiologist working in theatre and caring for patients in any surgical discipline!
- Anaesthetists and Residents in training performing general anaesthesia combined with an epidural, continuous spinal or nerve blocks
Key points
- Reducing postoperative complications
- optimal perioperative anaesthesia management
- The rationale of the stress-free anaesthesia revisited
- The patient-tailored anaesthesia in a patient-centred care management
- The opioid-sparing anaesthetic management
- The limitation of postoperative pain chronification
- The rationale of the depth of anaesthesia monitoring (BIS, Entropy) and depth of analgesia monitoring (SPI) during combined procedures
- Some pivotal findings from major studies
- A concept of getting the most out of the two monitoring devices
About this webinar
Anaesthesiological preparation starts already weeks prior planned surgery. This approach is still very rare although patient outcome can be significantly changed in a positive manner. This webinar addresses the topic of general anaesthesia combined with regional (epidural) anaesthesia
Content
- Personalized medicine
- Outcome
- Stress free anaesthesia and analgesia
- The era of opioid –sparing anaesthesia
- Additional benefits of local anaesthetics
- Depth of anaesthesia monitoring (BIS, Entropy): benefits pitfalls
- Depth of analgesia (Stress) monitoring (SPI): benefits pitfalls
- The additional value of combining both monitoring devices during a combined anaesthetic
Learning Objectives
This webinar will enable anaesthesiologists to:
- Value preoperative personalized medicine
- Associate RA and GA intraoperatively in order to limit hypotension episodes and inflammatory response
- Use RA for opioid-sparing anaesthesia and analgesia
- Choose the RA for postoperative pain relief
- Interpret BIS/Entropy-values in the context of simultaneous SPI readings
Affective skills acquired after attending to this Webinar
The participants are aware of:
- The use of RA combined with GA is possible
- The meaning of BIS/Entropy and SPI readings
The participant will be able to:
- How to better use RA and GA. What are the best techniques.
- See the impact of RA in an opioid-sparing anaesthesia program
- Appreciate the interest of RA in the postoperative period
- Proper interpretation of BIS/Entropy/SPI readings
Needs analysis
- The importance of RA/GA association for opioid-sparing anaesthesia/analgesia should be highlighted
- RA/GA improve intraoperative patient’s comfort and optimize postoperative analgesia
- The importance of depth of anaesthesia monitoring is still not widely recognized (max. 25% of all GA procedures monitored throughout Europe)
- The advantages of the depth of analgesia monitoring are mostly unknown
