These include preventing anesthesia related blindness; deciding upon appropriate fluid management; applying new airway adjuncts and preventing fires in the operating room. Registrants will have an opportunity to update knowledge on the mechanisms of trauma, dealing with allergy and anaphylaxis, managing the traumatized pregnancy patient and a review of the pharmacology of resuscitative drugs and avoiding common drug errors in anesthesia. The program also offers with discussions of ARDS, Trauma to the Spinal Cord, Abdomen and Thorax, and an update on polycystic disease and concerns with pediatric trauma. A presentation of unusual cases and their management will be offered and participants are invited to discuss interesting cases in which they participated.
