Speaker Handouts:


Dear Colleagues,

The cardiopulmonary system is at the very core of our daily practice. Indeed, there are constant improvements in technology and technique that can impact our daily performance of all cases, not just cardiac and thoracic. For our Minnesota Society of Anesthesiologists Fall Meeting on November 12th, we have a full morning program of speakers discussing innovative topics regarding the cardiopulmonary system. In the afternoon, we have heard the requests for more education in ultrasound guided regional anesthesia, and will have a four station interactive workshop on ultrasound for truncal blocks.

Our full slate of speakers on the cardiopulmonary system includes Dr. Trevor Lee, an innovator and expert in high spinal anesthesia for cardiac surgery – a cutting edge and thought provoking topic that is sure to generate interest and discussion. Our second guest lecturer, Dr. Matteo Parotto, will update us regarding optimal ventilation strategies in the operating room. Both of our local speakers will be discussing technologies that have become more widely used in recent years. Dr. Daniela Orza will detail the anesthetic management for transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and Dr. David Barbara will provide guidance on the anesthetic management of patients with ventricular assist devices for noncardiac surgery.

After a refreshing lunch with plenty of opportunity to network with colleagues and interact with exhibitors, we will hold a workshop on ultrasound for truncal anesthesia. Specific techniques will include Pecs 1/2/3, quadratus lumborum, transversalis fascia plane (TFP), traditional/subcostal TAP, rectus sheath, and neuraxial scanning. Four stations of hands-on scanning led by Drs. Jake Hutchins, Adam Amundson, Roberto Blanco, and Emily Sharpe will provide excellent opportunities for honing regional anesthesia skills. As always, the Fall Meeting is sure to be an educational and enjoyable day. I hope you will attend!

Sincerely,
Adam D. Niesen, M.D.
Chair, MSA Education Committee
