Track: Primary Care Advances in Anaesthesiology

PRIMARY CARE 2025

"Primary Care Advances in Anaesthesiology" will explore the integration of cutting-edge anesthesiology techniques and monitoring practices within primary care settings, aimed at enhancing pain management and patient safety during routine procedures. By focusing on patient-centered approaches and leveraging the latest advancements in the field, primary care providers can significantly improve the quality of care and outcomes for their patients.

Kidney Problems and Anesthesia: Kidney function plays a crucial role in how patients respond to anesthesia. This session will examine the relationship between kidney problems and anesthesia, discussing the importance of careful monitoring and tailored anesthetic plans to prevent complications. Attendees will learn about strategies to optimize anesthesia care for patients with compromised kidney function, ensuring safety and effective pain management.

Bradycardia and Heart Transplant: Anesthetic Considerations: Bradycardia, a condition characterized by a slow heart rate, presents unique challenges in anesthesiology, particularly for heart transplant patients. This segment will delve into the specific anesthetic considerations for managing bradycardia in primary care settings, focusing on maintaining cardiovascular stability during procedures. The session will also cover best practices for monitoring and managing heart transplant patients under anesthesia, emphasizing the need for specialized care.

Managing Sleep Apnea in Anesthesia: Sleep apnea is a common condition that can complicate anesthesia and increase the risk of perioperative complications. This session will highlight the importance of identifying and managing sleep apnea in patients undergoing anesthesia, particularly in primary care settings where routine procedures are performed. Attendees will gain insights into preoperative screening, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative care strategies to ensure safe outcomes for patients with sleep apnea.

Anesthesia and Critical Care: A Primary Care Perspective: The intersection of anesthesia and critical care is vital in managing patients with complex health conditions. This session will explore how primary care providers can integrate critical care principles into their anesthesia practice, particularly in settings where resources may be limited. The focus will be on optimizing patient outcomes through advanced monitoring techniques, timely interventions, and coordinated care.

Anesthesia Outcomes and Public Health: The impact of anesthesia on public health extends beyond individual patient outcomes. This session will discuss how advances in anesthesia can contribute to broader public health goals, such as reducing perioperative morbidity and mortality, improving access to safe anesthesia, and addressing disparities in care. Attendees will learn about the role of anesthesia in public health initiatives and the importance of collaboration between primary care and public health sectors.

Building Anesthesia Health System Capacities: Strengthening the capacity of health systems to deliver safe and effective anesthesia care is essential for improving overall healthcare outcomes. This session will focus on the challenges and opportunities in building anesthesia capacities within primary care settings, particularly in low-resource environments. Topics will include workforce training, infrastructure development, and the integration of anesthesia services into primary care models.

The Role of Anesthesiology in Global Health: Anesthesiology plays a critical role in global health, particularly in addressing the surgical and anesthesia care needs of underserved populations. This session will explore how primary care providers can contribute to global health efforts by integrating anesthesia services into broader health initiatives. The discussion will cover the role of anesthesiology in addressing global health disparities, improving access to safe surgical care, and supporting international health programs.

This session on "Primary Care Advances in Anaesthesiology" aims to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to integrate advanced anesthesiology practices into primary care, enhancing patient safety and outcomes across diverse healthcare settings. Through innovative approaches and a commitment to patient-centered care, primary care providers can play a pivotal role in advancing the field of anesthesiology.
