This webinar explores the transformative potential of AI technology in the field of anesthesiology, focusing specifically on fluid management during surgery. With advancements in AI, anesthesiologists could be equipped with cutting-edge tools to make more data driven decisions that enhance patient outcomes. The first presentation will cover how AI is being integrated into medical technology, revolutionizing decision-making processes in anesthesiology. The second will provide insights into AI-assisted fluid management techniques, demonstrating
how these innovations help ensure optimal fluid balance and hemodynamic stability during high-risk surgeries.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the foundational role of AI technology in current landscape of medical innovations.
2. Learn how AI-enhanced tools can assist anesthesiologists in managing fluid dynamics and maintaining patient stability.
3. Explore case studies that showcase the impact of AI on improving patient outcomes in preoperative care.
4. Discuss the potential challenges and future direction of AI driven technologies in anesthesia.

This comprehensive national webinar will review the latest evidence on hemodynamic monitoring and management during the perioperative period and the impact of hypotension, delving into the significance of managing blood pressure during surgery and its implications for patient outcomes. The session will explore advanced hemodynamic monitoring techniques, focusing on non-invasive and minimally invasive technologies including FloTrac, LiDCO, ClearSight and CNAP, and discuss the current evidence for their use in enhancing patient care. This webinar is an invaluable opportunity for healthcare professionals to stay informed about cutting edge practices in hemodynamic monitoring and improve patient safety and outcomes in high-risk surgical settings and more. 

Learning objectives:

 

1. Review the current evidence of the impact of perioperative hypotension on clinical outcomes. 
2. Describe the commonly used blood pressure monitoring devices and their limitations. 
3. Discuss the non-invasive and minimally invasive advanced hemodynamic monitors, their potential uses and caveats.
4. Summarize the evidence and delineate a possible approach to choose the appropriate hemodynamic monitors taking into consideration the risks associated with the surgical procedure and the patient's medical condition.
