The Tradition Continues

ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2021 has a total of 12 different clinical tracks that ranged from Ambulatory Anesthesia to Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain. Every year, ANESTHESIOLOGY® provides the required Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA®) and continuing medical education (CME) credits in various formats. It is arguably the most enormous anesthesiology related gathering each year in the United States. Following the tradition, members from the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) continue their presence as experts and leaders of the field. Various sessions are dedicated to the hot topics in Ambulatory Anesthesia at the upcoming ANESTHESIOLOGY® Annual Meeting on October 8-12, 2021. Whether you will be joining us in San Diego, California or streaming virtually in the comport of your own home, you will not want to miss SAMBA at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2021.

Ambulatory Anesthesia

For our SAMBA members, the ANESTHESIOLOGY® annual meeting may provide a beautiful sampler platter of ambulatory anesthesia topics, giving us a pre-view on topics will be discussed in great depth in the SAMBA 2022 Annual Meeting. For non-members, it is how SAMBA showcase the recent expansion of ambulatory anesthesiology and SAMBA members’ efforts on providing evidence-based practice guidelines, improving care quality, upholding patient safety, and having the best patient outcomes.

This year, the Ambulatory Anesthesia clinical track has multiple sessions that focused on outpatient, office-based, and non-operating room anesthesia.  The first SAMBA subspecialty track will kick off on Friday, October 8, 2021 with a virtual presentation titled, “Morbidly Obese Pediatric Patients and Ambulatory Surgery: Is it Safe?” The session will use a point-counterpoint format to review the complexity of the obese pediatric patient as pertains to perioperative management. For in-person, MOCA credited sessions in San Diego, “Anesthesia Delivered to the Door: Exploring the Uber Eats Model of This Anesthesia Model” will discuss mobile anesthesia model, which brings the full anesthesia service (anesthesiologist, equipment, medications, staff) to the office-based setting. “Which Patients Are Too High-Risk for Ambulatory Surgery?” will provide a comprehensive review of patient characteristics and types of surgical procedures associated with significant risk of complications in the ambulatory setting. These are just a few examples of what you will see. The following are sessions you should surely check out when attending ANESTHESIOLOGY 2021®!
