WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Don’t Sleep on this Webinar
In this 2-day virtual workshop, join two of the world's most renowned educators in anesthesia and pain management - Drs Tamara Grubb and Sheilah Robertson! On April 25th and 26th, this dynamic duo will answer the age-old anesthesia question, “what do I do when…. ?” Whether your patient has a heart murmur, elevated liver enzymes, active bleeding, pregnancy, a brachycephalic airway, or any other number of complicating factors, we’ll learn how to safely provide anesthesia and pain control.
We’ll also work through algorithms for solving intra-operative complications, practice pain scoring, settle debates on proper equipment care and cleaning, provide a list of pre-med protocols, safety checklists, and more. We’ll close out the weekend with a round of case challenges to put your new knowledge to work!
