Dear Medical and Nursing Professionals,

Greeting from 3M Medical Solutions Division. Huijuan here.

You are cordially invited to join our professional LIVE webinar session addressing a critical topic “PREWARMING Made Easy” on 26 November 2018. You may participate this LIVE webinar via your laptop, iPhone or iPad at your own convenient location. Registration is free!

Speaker:

Prof. Dr. Anselm Brauer

Consultant at the Department of Anaesthesiology

University Hospital in Gottingen, Germany

• Published more than 50 articles in hypothermia
• Co-author of German and Austrian guideline for prevention of perioperative hypothermia
• Author of first book worldwide about perioperative hypothermia and perioperative temperature management
• He was invited as international expert speaker during 4^th Singapore Anesthesia Refresher Course conference in Singapore on 18^th – 19^th August 2018 - http://sarc2018.sg/page/invited-speakers-chairpersons.html

Background:

• Prewarming is applying heat in the pre-op area before the patient goes to the OR with the goal of achieving normal total body heat (resulting in vasodilation), so that we diminish the degree of vasodilation and redistribution of heat that occurs on induction of anesthesia. However, in most cases clinicians encounter challenges prewarming patients in the pre-op area.  Prof. Brauer will share practical approaches to address the issues and achieve a common goal to keep our patients warm.

Learning objectives:

• Review the latest studies in regards to mild hypothermia, prewarming and patient outcome
• Discuss the practical ways for organizational management to incorporate prewarming among surgical patients

Webinar timing: 26^th November 2018, Monday, 2pm – 3pm (Singapore time zone)

For World Anaesthesia Day 2018 the WFSA will work with our Member Societies and Regional Sections to share “The Right Stuff” campaign with anaesthesia providers globally. Also starting this year the WFSA is part of the World Restart a Heart Day campaign to raise awareness of the importance of CPR.

This year, alongside the World Health Organisation, the WFSA published the WHO-WFSA International Standards for a Safe Practice of Anesthesia for the first time. As well as workforce, the International Standards also highlight how important adequate facilities and equipment are to providing safe anaesthesia care.
Using WHO language, the International Standards describe equipment such as the pulse oximeter and continuous waveform capnography as “highly recommended” (the equivalent of mandatory) and “recommended” respectively, and will ideally elevate continuous waveform capnography to “highly recommended” when appropriately robust and suitably priced devices are available.

This World Anaesthesia Day we would like your help in drawing attention to the vital role that equipment plays in providing safe anaesthesia by highlighting your favourite anaesthesia equipment.
