Course Information:
The pressures facing anesthetists today are great; the anesthetist must fully understand physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, anesthesia equipment, and monitoring devices, as well as recognize their limitations. Although the goal is to ensure a successful surgical or procedural outcome while providing the patient with the finest possible anesthetic care, mistakes can and do happen. During this 1-hour session, discover the most common causes of anesthesia-related errors and gain some insight into how to prevent them.

• Enhance awareness of the most common sources of anesthesia mistakes.
• Identify characteristics of a great anesthetist.
• Develop ways to avoid or minimize anesthetic-related errors.
