r e g i s t r a t i o n o p e n s 31 m a r c h 2018

The month of October is when Adelaide bursts into Spring and the Australian Society of Anaesthetists’ National Scientific Congress hits town! Located on the South Bank of the River Torrens between the Festival Theatre and the UniSA Health Innovation Building, the Adelaide Convention Centre boasts a “state-of-the-art” conference facility. The Local Organising Committee looks forward to welcoming you and your family to Adelaide for the 2018 ASA NSC.

Under the auspices of Dr Kate Drummond, the Scientific Convenor, we have a program that will provide something for everyone. Our Invited International Speakers include Professor Joyce Wahr from Minnesota, A/Professor Duminda Wijeysundera from Toronto and Professor Lars Eriksson from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Our Australasian Speaker is Professor Lorimer Moseley from the University of South Australia.

Our Kester Brown Lecturer is Air Vice-Marshall Dr Tracy Smart, Surgeon General of the Australian Defence Force. It is a great honour to have her in Adelaide, as this year marks the centenary of the beginning of the end of The Great War and the silencing of the guns on the Western Front.

Four days of education and entertainment commence with an inspiring scientific program. The workshops provide opportunities to participate in Emergency Response sessions to maintain your core crisis management skills and much, much more. The Small Group Discussion and Masterclass program offers the chance to share views and learn from the experts in a relaxed forum.

There is something old, something new, something borrowed and something… different for Adelaide 2018!

Something old is the excellent program, poster prizes and the return of the ASA Art Exhibition, to which we invite your submissions in your preferred medium for display and the admiration of your colleagues. There will also be professional artwork on display.

Something new is the family day on Friday before the meeting starts. The social team of Drs Laura Willington and Kris Usher have sourced a wide range of activities open to delegates and their families that offer hours of enjoyment! Check the social program pages for more information.

Something borrowed is the initiative from previous meetings that introduced a Parent’s Room with live streaming of the major lecture theatre’s program and a crèche for the younger children to facilitate the attendance of members with young families. We are also continuing the donation to Lifebox in lieu of Speaker Gifts and Delegate Satchels.

As for something different, we have moved the Gala Dinner to Saturday night. Themed as a Black and White Masquerade Ball in the majestic Adelaide Oval, weekend delegates can join the fun!

Book your leave and your plane tickets, pack your bags and come to the NSC in Adelaide in October!

THE CENTENARY

Two-thousand and eighteen marks 100 years since the signing of the Armistice that heralded the end of the Great War on November 11, 1918. It is only fitting that, for this year’s National Scientific Congress, we pay tribute to this historic event.

You will notice that the logo for 2018 incorporates the Flanders poppy, long part of Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day observances. During World War 1, red poppies were one of the first plants to emerge from the devastated battlefields of northern France and Belgium. Soldier folklore suggests the vivid red of the flower was sourced from the blood shed by their comrades that had soaked the grounds.

Appearing in literature even before the war, typically a symbol for sleep or states of oblivion due to its medicinal nature, poppies took on an even greater significance when Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, seeing the field of flowers at Ypres, was moved to pen the now well-known poem In Flanders Fields, forever cementing a connection between the small red flower and the sacrifice of shed blood.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

John McCrae (1872-1918)

Today, poppies are widely accepted throughout the allied nations as the flower of remembrance. On Australian shores, the Australian Returned Soldiers and Sailors Imperial League (RSL) first sold poppies for Armistice Day as far back as 1921. One million silk poppies made in French orphanages were imported and each were sold for a shilling. Today you will still see members of the RSL selling poppies for Remembrance Day to raise funds for its welfare work.

The poppy has also become popular in wreaths used on ANZAC Day and adorn the Memorials’ Rolls of Honour, placed beside names as a small personal tribute to the memory of a particular person, or to any of the thousands of individuals commemorated there.

WELCOME FROM THE ASA PRESIDENT

Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to invite you the National Scientific Congress in Adelaide from 6th – 9th October 2018.

The meeting will combine the best that our Society has to offer in anaesthesia education, research and science in one of the world’s most sophisticated, yet liveable cities – Adelaide.

Two very experienced and able convenors, Dr Simon Macklin as Convenor and Dr Kate Drummond as Scientific Convenor, are putting together this exciting event and we have no doubt that, together with their NSC Organising Committee, they will assemble a diverse, thought-provoking and challenging scientific program.

Adelaide provides a unique backdrop in which to fulfil all those other important needs associated with such an event. Its ‘vibrant energy, restaurants, fashion boutiques, café-filled laneways, cool bars, spacious parks and village-like inner suburbs’ will ensure plentiful opportunity to network, relax and reflect. The meeting also nearly coincides with the centenary of the end of WW 1 and this will be remembered at the Congress.

The Gala Dinner promises to be a fun evening – a Masquerade theme

• Date: Saturday 7 October

• Venue: Adelaide Oval

Stay tuned for the full social program.

NSC 2018 will not only offer intellectually satisfying and stimulating material but will once again bring us all together to interact, re-connect and re-affirm our professional citizenship – what it is that we do and what a pleasure and privilege it is to do it!

I truly look forward to welcoming you.

W5 – Feedback: the Role of the Recipient



Cost $100

Facilitators Prof. Kirsty Forrest, Prof. Jenny Weller

No. of workshops 1


Feedback is a dialogue. Trainees gain little benefit from being the passive recipients of feedback. By contrast, when trainees play an active role in the feedback process and engage with the comments they receive, they can develop the skills they require to self-regulate their own learning, meaning they will not always be dependent on others for appraisal. In this interactive session we will explore strategies to increase the value of the feedback conversation with trainees to promote responsibility for their own learning and their future self-regulated clinical practice.

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 1115-1245


Cost $25

Facilitators Dr Allan Cyna

No. of workshops 1


Hypnosis is an innately fascinating and, on occasions, a somewhat mysterious topic. At its heart it uses communication as a means of expressing, both to ourselves and to others, how we perceive the world and how we influence the world around us. The nocebo and placebo nature of our interactions with patients help us understand how we can more effectively communicate in a way that is likely to optimise patient perceptions, autonomy, cooperation, anxiolysis and analgesia. Many clinicians already use placebo communications in ways that facilitate acute patient care. Examples of difficult and challenging interactions encountered in clinical practice will be explored.

Cost $100

Facilitator Dr Allan Cyna

No. of workshops 1


A learnable framework for effective clinical communication has been suggested that might assist patient care in burns dressing changes and other potentially painful procedures in theatre. This structure includes: Listening; Acceptance; Utilisation; Reframing and Suggestion (LAURS). The LAURS concept emphasizes the use of reflective listening. This involves ensuring that the patient’s words are heard, they are listened to for meaning, the patient knows they have been heard and finally confirming with the patient that they have been understood. Self-hypnosis techniques can be rapidly learned and taught to patients to facilitate their anaesthesia care. This workshop will demonstrate to participants how simple hypnotic techniques such as ‘Lived in Imagination’ and the ‘Steeple Self-Hypnosis Relaxation Technique’ can be integrated into routine anaesthesia clinical practice to the benefits of patients and staff.

In addition, the masterclass will explain the underlying mechanism for neuromuscular monitoring and the relationships between information generated by routine neuromuscular monitoring and clinically meaningful physiological effects within the neuromuscular and respiratory systems of relevance for perioperative outcomes. Finally, the session will address mode of action of classes of reversal agents, along with current controversies in neuromuscular reversal strategies.

MC10 – Taking on TIVA

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1600-1730


Facilitator Prof. Michael G. Irwin

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) has a number of increasingly obvious advantages over inhalation techniques. TIVA is, incorrectly we believe, perceived as being complicated, difficult and riskier. Even those using the technique may not be doing so correctly. Modern development has seen improvements to user friendliness, affordability and availability of the drugs and equipment necessary to deliver TIVA, as well as brain function monitoring devices to allay certain anxieties. This masterclass targets the novice or occasional TIVA practitioner (less than 20% of cases TIVA-based) and aims to dispel myths and misunderstandings and bridge the gap in translating theory into everyday practice. Participants will acquire baseline theoretical and practical knowledge to safely conduct propofol-based TIVA using TCI in elective surgical patients and appropriate use of opioid analgesic infusions (focus on remifentanil with TCI and manual techniques) and adjuvant drugs.

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS SATURDAY 6 OCTOBERSGD 1 | 5 – CTVP: Presenting Echo Cases

Facilitator Dr Jason Koerber

This session will explore the factors to consider when selecting the concentration and volume for a peripheral nerve block. Upper and lower limb blocks are considered with an emphasis on orthopaedic surgery. What is the relationship between concentration, volume and block duration? A brief literature review and the presenter’s study involving interscalene blocks are presented as a starting point for group discussion.

SGD 4 – Planning for Retirement – Practicalities for Anaesthetists



Facilitators Dr Richard Grutzner, Dr Patrick Hughes, Dr Mark MacLennan

The issues surrounding ageing, technical performance, cognitive impairment, regulatory changes and medicolegal risks will be discussed. Experiences garnered from recently retired anaesthetists will underlie the development of a practical framework for all anaesthetists to consider when planning for retirement. Regardless of how far away retirement might be, we would like to suggest that early planning may help facilitate transition to a long, happy and fulfilling retirement from anaesthetic practice.

SUNDAY 7 OCTOBER SGD 7 – Returning to Calm: Manage Anxiety and Phobias Using Simple and Fast Hypnotic Techniques

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 0845-0945


Facilitator Dr Michael Goldblatt

Anxiety and phobias are extremely common amongst the Australian population. We frequently encounter patients suffering from generalised anxiety disorders, as well as those with specific phobias presenting for surgery. We can also experience anxiety provoking situations in our professional and personal lives. The understanding of the neuroscientific mechanisms responsible for creating and reinforcing anxiety are becoming better understood, leading to non-pharmacologic management options. This workshop will provide you with a wide range of practical strategies that you can use immediately (including the use of virtual reality) to return your patient and yourself to calm.

SGD 8 – The Environmental Impact of Anaesthesia

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 0845-0945


Facilitator Dr Steven Gaff

As anaesthetists, our work practices contribute significantly to the 7% of Australia’s total greenhouse gas emissions attributable to health care. In this session delegates will discuss the evidence surrounding the potential consequences of our anaesthetic practice for the environment. Participants will also consider obstacles to improving the environmental impact of anaesthesia and then develop practical solutions for reducing the effect of our work on the ecosystem.

SGD 9 – Bullying In and Out of the Operating Theatre

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 0845-0945


Facilitator Dr Tim Porter

This session will start with a brief discussion of what constitutes bullying, its place in modern medical practice and how to identify and address it.

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 0945-1045


Facilitator Dr Debra Leung

This practical discussion will focus on how we can better integrate collaborative decision making in our perioperative management for the growing number of high risk, elderly and frail patients presenting for major surgery. Using your stories as a basis, we will discuss the barriers to facilitating collaborative-decision making and advance care planning in the surgical setting and how, as perioperative clinicians, we can help better facilitate this process. In addition, we will discuss communication strategies that can be utilised in these situations to help us all have the “difficult conversation” with our patients.

SGD 11 – Optimal Management of Caesarean Section for Placenta Accreta: Planned and Controlled – or Not!!

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 0945-1045


Facilitators Dr Kristen Llewelyn,Dr Steven Scroggs

Disorders of placentation are associated with excess maternal morbidity and are increasing in incidence. These cases are highly challenging for anaesthesia and surgical teams alike. This multidisciplinary case-based session will discuss the issues associated with anaesthetising this group of patients, including planning for optimal control and safety. We will introduce ideas on how to proceed when placenta accreta is encountered unexpectedly.

SGD 12 – Apnoeic Oxygenation in Your Practice

Date / Time Sunday 07/10/18 0945-1045

MONDAY 8 OCTOBER SGD 15 – Elephants in Rooms: Taking Care of Trainees and Colleagues

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 0830-0945


Facilitator Dr Lissa Buenaventura

Maintaining health and well-being is an integral part of training and life as an anaesthetist. The demands of the training process to become an anaesthetist and the continued stressors as a specialist can become problematic for some of us. Using a scenario-based format, this session aims to assist us to recognise the struggling colleague or trainee and to give us the tools to approach them with confidence.

and difficult airway surgery.

SGD 17 – Negotiations with Hospital Management

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1030-1130


Facilitator Dr Antonio Grossi

Have you felt that there was a disconnect between what your administration wanted from you and what you could deliver? Or that management expectations were removed from reality? This is the workshop for you to see how to manage this complex relationship, based on the experience gained in a major private institution in Victoria. The lessons learned in this session will provide valuable tools to better equip you to negotiate a better outcome for patients, staff and management.

SGD 18 – Awake Craniotomy – Techniques and Challenges

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1330-1430


Facilitator Dr Anthony Guterres

Awake tumour surgery utilises the patient as their own monitor for protection of eloquent areas intraoperatively. DeWitt Hamer’s (2012) meta-analysis of over 8,000 cases showed that awake craniotomy for tumours in eloquent areas provided more total resections (75% v 58%) with less neurological deficits (3.4% v 8.2%). For epilepsy surgery and DBS, accurate awake assessment of surgical target sites are crucial to operative success. Provision of anaesthesia care for these cases poses a number of challenges for the neuroanaesthetist. This session will focus on management of these challenges and potential complications during care, primarily focusing on tumour and epilepsy surgery.

SGD 19 – Sense & Sensibility: The Art of Responsible Acute Pain Management

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1330-1430


Facilitators Dr Sarah Flint, Dr Michelle Harris

Despite having more analgesic options than ever, the management of acute pain has never been more complex or its complications better defined. In this small group discussion, we will explore the considerations for achieving effective analgesia, whilst mitigating both short – and long-term patient harm. We will discuss responsible analgesic regimes for post-operative care in hospital, for patients being discharged after day surgery, and how to approach one of the trickiest obstacles – patient expectations.

SGD 20 – Practical Management of Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1430-1530


Facilitators Dr David Papendorf, Dr Ryan Hughes

Perioperative Medicine is a growing discipline that aims to implement standards of practice to optimise quality healthcare. The potentially detrimental effects of blood transfusion has made Perioperative Blood Management (PBM) a vital component of Perioperative Medicine. Implementation of PBM strategies around the world have demonstrated significant benefits to both patients and healthcare funders. Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) impacts negatively on patient outcomes and appropriate management is a vital cornerstone of successful PBM, yet barriers to PBM and treatment of IDA still exist. This ses-sion will expand on the relevant background and address practical aspects of implementing PBM / IDA strategies.

SGD 21 – Hypersensitive or Hypochondriac?

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1430-1530


Facilitators Dr Alison Brereton

You are faced with a patient who says they are allergic to morphine, fentanyl, propofol and midazolam... and cough medicines – what do you do? This discussion will look at how to approach patients who give a history of allergy to multiple common anaesthetic drugs. We will also look at some allergens in the community that can impact on anaesthesia.

SGD 22 The Dilemma of Small-Town and Private Bariatric Anaesthesia

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1600-1700Location Riverbank 4Facilitator Dr Richard W. Watts

The recent addition to your orthopaedic list is a patient for knee replacement. They have a BMI of 53, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnoea and a potentially difficult airway. Have you been faced with this in your specialist locum or GP rural practice, or private practice? What if this patient presented requiring emergency surgery or an obstetric patient with a similar BMI in obstructed labour at 35 weeks with foetal distress?

This session will provide an update on obesity and anaesthesia, review guidelines for elective non-bariatric surgery in rural and private hospitals and provide practical tips on how to prevent disasters where anaesthesia is unavoidable.

KIDS TAUGHT LIFE SUPPORT

ABOUT THE KIDS TAUGHT LIFE SUPPORT PROGRAMThis is an innovative and interactive program for children in Year 2 and above to learn how to respond to an emergency situation. The foundation is to teach within schools and sporting clubs how to perform CPR at the national standard. Other elements such as defibrillation, choking, concussion, anaphylaxis and epilepsy are also covered. This is a hands-on visual learning experience for students using manikins to practice the fundamental techniques in a variety of emergency scenarios. The inspiration for creating this education program came about when Romy Ottens’ seven-year-old daughter asked if she could demonstrate CPR for her class show-and-tell with her mother’s support.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORRomy Ottens graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Nursing degree in 1996. Having worked as a Registered Nurse for 20 years at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) in the Surgical Plastic/Craniofacial Unit and Oncology, she has also worked as an educational facilitator for the University of South Australia within the nursing faculty and as a Clinical Facilitator for the Staff Development Unit for graduates in their first year out within the RAH.
