	27th Annual UC Davis Anesthesiology Update: Patient Safety and Quality Health Care

Activity Details
Activity Name:	27th Annual UC Davis Anesthesiology Update: Patient Safety and Quality Health Care
Needs Assessment:	We often think of hospitals as a bastion of safety where the sick are healed and disease is eradicated. Unfortunately, mounting evidence suggests that hundreds of thousands of patients are being harmed each year while receiving treatment in hospitals. Examples of preventable harm include: adverse drug reactions, surgical site infections, pressure sores, blood clots, sepsis and inpatient falls. Patient safety is therefore of paramount importance. This is a global public health phenomenon, which does not discriminate based on a country?s level of development. In the United States the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a branch of the Department of Health and Human Services, is encouraging improvement in patient safety by linking payments to hospitals performance. Constructive improvements will require a change in hospital philosophy that will create a culture of learning and open communication between all healthcare professionals. Our goal this year is to discuss some ideas that may be useful to address situations where there is clearly a ?gap? in the way a system currently operates and the way it could operate more effectively and safely through the dissemination of knowledge. Topics that will be covered this year include: point of care ultrasound, the advantages of using ultrasound when performing regional anesthesia, adverse events associated with opioid analgesics, geriatric anesthesia, anesthesia machines and equipment failure, topics in patient safety and team management, applications of cardiac ultrasound, as well as topics in pediatric anesthesia, neuro-anesthesia, obstetrical anesthesia and new drug updates. This year?s conference will provide practitioners with evidence based methods and strategies to assist them in providing better treatment options for their patients. Faculty presenting and interacting with participants at this activity have been selected on the basis of their comprehensive clinical experience and academic excellence.
Course Objectives:	At the conclusion of the program the attendees should be able to: Describe the use of ultrasound for the point of care evaluation of ET tube placement, pneumothorax, gastric volume and intracranial pressure. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. Discuss the disadvantages of opioids in the management of acute perioperative pain. List the different treatment modalities available for the management of the discomfort associated with post dural puncture headache. Formulate a plan for the perioperative management of the opioid dependent patient. Describe the advantages of truncal nerve blockade over epidural analgesia. Prescribe the optimal anesthetic for the elderly patient. Demonstrate a complete understanding of the new ACLS guidelines. Discuss the different kinds of equipment failure in the OR. Identify the rationale behind the Surgical M&M Conference in improving patient safety and decreasing complications. Identify the leading causes of preventable deaths in a mature trauma center. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of ?checklists? and how it can help patient safety in the operating room. Describe the differences between and the indications for implantable cardiac devices. Discuss the pharmacology of Sugammadex?. Discuss the indications and contraindications for arterialline, central venous catheter and pulmonary artery catheter placement. Review the options for unexpected management of hemodynamic instability and unplanned need for selective lung ventilation. Discuss safe sedation techniques for the pediatric patient outside the operating room. Discuss the factors which influence spinal cord perfusion pressure.
