The target audience for this medical event is Anesthesiologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Conference Description :
The Simulation Course will begin with an orientation to the simulator and simulation environment. Each participant will then have the opportunity to participate in a clinical scenario as the anesthesiologist, assistant to the anesthesiologist and observer. The ABA stipulates that the course at a minimum cover the relevant topics of significant peri-operative hypoxemia and significant peri-operative hypotension. The U of M course has been created in a manner that not only incorporates these basic events but also challenges the participant with more complex clinical events and the challenges associated with perioperative teamwork and communication. Scenarios will be followed by an interactive and instructive debriefing. Specific courses for pediatric anesthesiologists are being offered twice each year.

Conference Objectives are :
• Demonstrate the management of significant hypoxemia from any cause, including the difficult airway.
• Demonstrate the management of significant hemodynamic instability.
Practice up-to-date techniques in a safe learning environment.
• Reflect on optimal teamwork, leadership and communication skills required in crisis management.
• Following the course, participants will implement the updated knowledge and skills in these areas that they learned from the course into their everyday practice.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
