Course Description 2025
Pediatric anesthesia and pediatric critical care continue to present challenges to anesthesiologists, critical care physicians, and nurse anesthetists. Improved survival of children with pediatric-specific diseases and congenital anomalies has resulted in an ever-increasing population of pediatric patients with complex surgical and medical conditions. This course provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and current review of the most important changes and advances relevant to the practice of pediatric anesthesia and critical care. The program includes a variety of evidence-based lectures, with question and answer sessions, interactive problem-based learning discussions, and workshops on pediatric regional anesthesia techniques, point-of-care ultrasound, acupuncture and professional coaching.
The interactive, hands-on Pediatric Patient Blood Management (pPBM) masterclass will review current evidence-based guidelines for pPBM management, including best-practice guidelines for multimodal strategies to manage the bleeding child: anemia management, benefits and risks of blood transfusion, coagulation factors and blood product alternatives, massive hemorrhage guidelines, point of care testing (viscoelastic testing) and basic blood banking for the pediatric anesthesiologist.
Our mission is to provide information, strategies, and skills for improving care and outcomes for pediatric patients in the operating room, non-operating room locations, and the intensive care unit.
