The IX Congress on Thoracic Anesthesia, organised by the General University Hospital Consortium of Valencia, will be held from November 21 to 23 in Valencia.
The program of this 9th congress includes extensive training featuring CLINICAL SIMULATION, especially in the 6 workshops aimed at acquiring skills in basic and advanced airway management. In addition, it includes 2 workshops on ventilation, 1 on haemodynamics, and 1 on ultrasound applied to the airway and to anaesthesia/thoracic surgery.
A total of 64 speakers with extensive clinical experience in thoracic anaesthesia will participate in this year’s congress, 58 Spanish and 6 international, from Europe and America.
Of course, the event will analyse the evolution of thoracic surgery, ranging from thoracotomy, through video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), to the robotic thoracic surgery technique (RATS), in which the General University Hospital Consortium of Valencia (CHGUV) is one of the pioneers in Spain.
In addition, the most useful locoregional analgesia techniques that can be applied to thoracic surgery will be presented, adapting them to minimally invasive surgery processes and the ERAS program in Thoracic Surgery, which has been implemented in many hospitals.
Finally, the congress will address Perioperative Medicine, which is aimed at the optimisation of patients who are susceptible to thoracic surgery and oesophageal surgery through programs such as prehabilitation. In addition, clinical protocols that reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality will be reviewed, including optimal management of neuromuscular and reversing relaxants, brain monitoring, and haemodynamics.
