Acumen AFM: Unlocking individualized fluid management with machine learning decision support

​EEG for anaesthesiologists

T. Dill, Bern; J Berger Estilita, Bern; D. Hight, Bern; H. Kaiser, Aarau; F. Lersch, Bern; J. Gaudet, Lausanne


Anaesthesia practitioners are expected to integrate widely available EEG-neuromonitoring devices in their anaesthestic practice in oder to individualise anaesthesia for an increasingly ageing and vulnerable patient population. Yet training opportunities of this complex technique are limited and therefore self-reported confidence in integrating these devices for critical decision-making is low.
Our workshop tailored to the individuals’s practical use in clinical practice aims to adress this education gap.

08:30 - 14:00

Swiss Anaesthesia Trainees Day

The Swiss Anaesthesia Trainees’ Day (SATDay) is the first event at the Swiss Anaesthesia Congress specifically dedicated to and designed for trainees. With the support of the SSAPM, the SAT Committee offers a full program divided into a lecture track by nationally recognized experts from all regions with three sessions («Finding Balance», «Take Deep Breaths», «Tips and Tricks»), three slots of simulation training and three slots of clinical case discussion to better prepare participants for the oral exam. Each participant can switch between sessions according to their personal interest. Throughout the day, participants will have the opportunity to practice on a TEE simulator and an airway simulator in the foyer. In order to participate in the simulation training and clinical case discussions, participants must sign up for an available time slot on site.
