Day 2 Sunday, 26 May At Euroanaesthesia 2024, the second day promises a deep dive into critical advancements in anaesthesiology and perioperative medicine through a series of thought-provoking industry-led symposia. Cardinal Health will kick off the day with a comprehensive workshop on mechanical thromboprophylaxis, discussing its timing, methods, and underlying rationale to enhance patient safety […]

Over the past decades, artificial intelligence (AI) has progressively infiltrated the field of medicine, enabling physicians to increase the accuracy of screening and optimise therapies for various medical conditions. During the Euroanaesthesia 2024 congress, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the ways in which AI-driven technologies may assist anaesthesiologists and critical care […]

In the fast-evolving world of Anaesthesiology, where the only constant is change (and the occasional ringing of the pager), the ESAIC has charted a new course by creating Learning Tracks. This innovative approach, which took its first steps in 2023 with the Focus Track on the Brain, is steering away from traditional, static learning methods towards a […]

Head injuries represent a serious public health problem with devastating consequences, including death, disability, and long-term health issues that may affect every aspect of a person’s life. Understanding the monitoring and treatment principles of head trauma are essential to reducing mortality and disability resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI).   During a panel discussion at Euroanaesthesia […]

How often is surgery in young children safe? Participants may find out by attending the spotlight session focused on the management of paediatric patients on Monday, May 27, at Euroanaesthesia 2024.   Children under the age of 15 years make up nearly one-third of all patients who undergo general anaesthesia every year.1 Many of these patients […]

In an extraordinary collaboration between Philips and the ESAIC, the SpaceBuzz project will take centre stage at Euroanaesthesia 2024 in Munich. This innovative initiative, rooted in the idea of inspiring the next generation to cherish our planet, aims to raise awareness about sustainability, with a particular focus on healthcare. Both organisations will share their sustainability […]

Should electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring become the standard of care for patients under anaesthesia?    For the past three decades, EEG recordings have been used to monitor changes in the electrical activity of the brain in patients undergoing general anaesthesia or sedation. While some experts have argued in favor of using EEG monitoring, particularly in vulnerable patients […]

When we talk about virtual reality (VR), most of us imagine adolescents immersed in the synthetic world of computer gaming. But what if physicians could use VR technologies to up their game in perioperative care?     The recent development of advanced VR tools has enabled surgeons to virtually explore a human brain before performing a procedure, […]
