ESAIC Academy

Healthcare carbon footprint in the EU is about 4.5% of the total emissions. Our clinical actions during perioperative care have consequences. Therefore, making informed choices about our anaesthetic plan is paramount for both patient and planet’s health.

Procedural sedation facilitates the safe performance of procedures that a patient cannot tolerate in a state of full consciousness while maintaining the patient’s safety. This educational activity will help you learn more about the latest information and recommendations regarding procedural sedation in adults and children.

This educational activity is aimed at clarifying whether regional anesthesia may help to prevent and/or reduce the risk of cancer recurrence by reducing the need for opioids or volatile anesthetics, or reducing the stress response to surgery and giving an update on recent literature.

Therapeutic temperature is a component of post-resuscitation care. It has been known to be effective in improving the survival rate and neurologic functional outcome of patients after cardiac arrest and recommended by international guidelines, but the supporting evidence is  limited, and the target temperature associated with the best outcome is unknown. This ESAIC activity includes clear recommendations on treatment strategies for our patients.

The last two decennia have brought an extensive experimental in clinical research on neurotoxicity of anaesthetic drugs in the developing brain. This session is to help select the most important experimental and clinical results and their implications for the practice of paediatric anaesthesia.

The ESAIC has a long history in supporting research and coordinating multicenter clinical studies, RCTs, and meta-analyses on ventilation strategies (i.e. PROtective VEntilation Network - PROVENet). Despite years of research and after many publications in this field, the choice for the best ventilation strategy for each individual patient remains a point of debate.

In November 2022 ESAIC launched a new educational initiative named Theme of the Month, a learning pathway on a specific theme. 
The first Theme of the Month 2022, organised by the eLearning and Patient Safety Committees of ESAIC, focused on 'Obstetric Safety'

After participating in this Webinar series, learners will become more knowledgeable with respect to:

Non-technical skills and strategies to avoid incidents and accidents in OB anaesthesia;
Leadership in safety: how to manage the OB team when a safety issue occurs;
Multidisciplinary team management during an obstetric crisis.

Up to half of the geriatric patients undergoing major surgery may suffer from postoperative delirium, which may result in short-, intermediate-, and long-term cognitive impairments, reduced quality of life, and even death. By attending this webinar, participants will learn why continuous quality improvement is essential in the elderly population.
