Lectures will range from hot to  the administer "fast-track" anesthesia to management of the difficult airway. Attendees will be offered an opportunity to gain insight into the management of such problems as malignant hyperthermia, control of perioperative pain, and options for dealing with hypertension and maintaining normothermia. The program will also focus on current thinking on the pharmacological aspects of preventing and treating PONV, providing adequate intravenous sedation, dealing with herbal medications, coagulopathies and administering newer adjunctive drugs.
