We can’t wait to see you, and your reflection, at the ASM in Sydney!

This will be the first ASM at Sydney’s sparkling new and environmentally sensitive International Convention Centre (ICC). The ICC features superb facilities, beautiful contemporary design, and spectacular views of Darling Harbour with the cityscape beyond.

We are thrilled with the number and quality of regional and international speakers presenting this packed scientific program. Also, the ASM workshop program grows year after year. To keep up this trend we have recruited a small army of skilled facilitators to deliver a dazzling array of workshops, including more opportunities than ever before to complete emergency response CPD requirements.

In addition to our own packed program, we will be sharing the ICC with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons to build on the success of the hugely popular combined ANZCA and RACS meeting four years ago. You will have full access to both the ANZCA and RACS scientific programs. Combined sessions with the surgeons will range from the latest subspecialty techniques to thoughtful explorations of our professions’ big-picture problems. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to join with your surgical counterparts from all around the region to reflect on what really matters for our patients, and each other.

Those who can also make it to the Refresher Course Day are in for a real treat. One need not be a pain specialist – or even a Pink Floyd fan – to get great value from this dark, yet enlightening, Faculty of Pain Medicine program.

The biggest party of the week will be the Thursday night Gala Dinner. Please be warned that, despite the ICC boasting the largest banquet space in Sydney, we expect this combined ANZCA and RACS function will sell out so be sure to register early to secure your Gala Dinner tickets.

To round out the meeting, we offer a suite of recreational activities. Highlights include blissing out with early morning yoga sessions and striding out on the Great ASM Charity Fun-Run, supporting the Indigenous Marathon Project.

On behalf of our wonderful, enthusiastic, and irrepressible organising committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to our great city and we look forward to entertaining you in May.

n Dear colleagues,

The Sydney 2018 ANZCA ASM and the Faculty of Pain Medicine Refresher Course Day promise to be memorable events.

The theme of the meeting is “Reflecting on what really matters”, which encourages us to focus both on core and important clinical issues and also to extend ourselves to consider some of the more challenging aspects of our professional, and personal, lives.

The opportunities for networking, socialising and dining are wide open – when not taking part in the comprehensive scientific program with its plentiful workshops, presentations and plenaries.

Speakers invited from Australia, New Zealand, and around the world will provide new and refreshing insights in a wide range of relevant areas. Our key international invited speakers represent excellence in practice from the US, UK, New Zealand and Hong Kong. For all contributors, we are very appreciative of the effort and planning that goes into each and every presentation, discussion and workshop.

We are indebted to the convenors and their organising committees, who have worked hard to develop a stimulating and creative scientific program. The ASM continues to focus on gender equity across the program.

We are also grateful for the outstanding support of the healthcare industry, whose contributions help make this a successful and high quality meeting, and provide us with the opportunity to get experience with the latest technology and medicines in a number of fields.

In keeping with the broad theme of “Reflecting on what really matters” the Faculty of Pain Medicine has developed an enlightening program for the Refresher Course Day, entitled “The dark side of the mind”, to be held on Sunday May 6 at the same venue.

We look forward to welcoming you to the always stimulating city of Sydney, for the 2018 ANZCA ASM.

He received his PhD from the University of Michigan in Cognitive Psychology in 2003, and served as an Assistant and Associate Professor at Columbia University from 2004-2009. Since 2010, he has directed Boulder’s Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience laboratory. Much of the lab’s work centres on the neurophysiology of pain and emotion and how they are shaped by cognitive and social influences. In particular, Professor Wager is interested in how thoughts and beliefs influence affective experiences, affective learning, and brain-body communication. In addition to negative emotions and stressors, the lab also focuses on prosocial emotions, including compassion and empathy.

In addition to basic research, Professor Wager’s lab is involved in developing analysis methods for fMRI. He and his group have developed several publically available software toolboxes. He regularly teaches workshops on fMRI analysis and has co-authored a book on the subject, titled Principles of fMRI. Finally, a third focus is on collaborative, translational research incorporating brain systems-level analyses into the study of clinical disorders, including chronic pain, PTSD, Parkinson’s disease, depression, and schizophrenia. More information about the lab’s activities, publications, and software can be found at http://wagerlab.colorado.edu.

Preparing for the unexpectedMonday May 7 W44A 1.30-3pm

W44B 3.30-5pm


Cost: $A25

Organiser: Avant Mutual Group

Nobody wants things to go wrong but inevitably sometimes they do. Patients are more willing and able to complain about doctor performance than ever before, and regulators are more likely to take action. Avant’s experience as Australia’s largest medical defence organisation is that the way in which adverse events and complaints are managed can be as important in determining the final outcome as the event itself. Avant’s medico-legal experts will guide delegates through an interactive case study touching on key contemporary risks facing anaesthetists and surgeons, and how to manage them.

The vigilant anaesthetistMonday May 7 W45A 9-10am

W45B 10.30-11.30am


Cost: $A25

Facilitators: Dr Rebecca McNamara and Dr Dave Zalcberg, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Dr Lucy Kelly, Westmead Children’s Hospital Sydney

“Clinical observation and assessment by a vigilant anaesthetist is essential for safe patient care during anaesthesia” – ANZCA professional document PS18.

The scope of practice and the clinical environment of the anaesthetist is increasingly complex, demanding and distracting. This one hour workshop explores the concept of vigilance and the factors, which may enhance or impair our ability to perform at our best every day. We will journey through early work in vigilance in psychology, modern literature on the art of staying sharp and also explore techniques such as mindfulness to clear the mind and sharpen the intellect.

Anaesthesia out of a suitcase – tips for making your humanitarian aid mission a successMonday May 7 W48A 3.30-5pm


Cost: $A25

Facilitators: Dr Philip Blum, Royal Darwin Hospital, Darwin, Dr Michael Cooper, Children’s Hospital Westmead, Sydney and Dr Wayne Morriss, Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch

Thinking of heading overseas on a short surgical mission or getting involved in international disaster relief? Maybe you are thinking of organising a longer sabbatical, teaching in a developing country or working for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)? This workshop will aim to give practical advice about aid options, further training, and touch on tips that can make your humanitarian aid mission a success. The group will divide into smaller discussion groups to explore the short surgical visit, the longer trip and a hands-on play with some of the portable anaesthetic equipment you may use.

Reviewing manuscripts for publication – why and how?Tuesday May 8 SGD13 12.15-1.15pm


Cost: $A25

Facilitator: Associate Professor John Loadsman, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Chief Editor, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care

This activity will aim to familiarise attendees with the skills needed when reviewing manuscripts for publication. A systematic approach to reviewing manuscripts will be considered using a selection of published articles as examples. Attendees will learn what editors find most useful in a review, and what to avoid. Armed with this knowledge, attendees should also be better equipped to critically examine published research papers for themselves, and potentially to write better (more likely to be accepted!) papers of their own.

Lessons from veterinary anaesthesiaMonday May 7 W49A 10.30am-noon

W49B 1.30-3pm

Maximum capacity: 6

Cost: $A150

Location: Veterinary Hospital of the University of Sydney

Facilitators: Dr Mara Schier and Dr Diego Rodrigo-Mocholi, Specialist Veterinary Anaesthetists, Veterinary Hospital of the University of Sydney, Sydney

The practice of veterinary anaesthesia encompasses a wide variety of species, breeds, and sizes (even fish!). Different species show great variability in pharmacological responses, anatomy, temperament and perioperative behaviour and therefore require unique anaesthetic protocols, techniques and drugs. This offsite workshop will give human anaesthetists an insight into the work of veterinary anaesthesia through presentation of interesting cases and walk through of the Sydney Veterinary Hospital with observation of elective surgical procedures.

Return transport to Veterinary Hospital of the University of Sydney from the ICC Sydney will be provided. Expected travel time to and from the ICC is 30 minutes.

Malignant hyperthermia – where are we now?Monday May 7 SGD15 12.15-1.15pm


Cost: $A25

Facilitator: Dr Neil Street, Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Sydney

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) was first described in the early 1960s, the testing for the disorder followed in 1979 for the halothane contracture test and 1984 for the caffeine contracture test. Those tests with slight modifications remain the gold standard. Genetic testing first started in 2000 following the isolation of the causative mutation in pigs. Many other causative mutations have been isolated, but the genetics has not given us the diagnostic tools that are required for the elimination of risk.

In this small group discussion I would like to use some of the cases that have presented to the testing centres to outline the changing thoughts regarding MH. Specifically the changing presentation, the often non-malignant course (but can still be very malignant), explore the prevalence and penetration of the disorder, some thoughts around non-anaesthetic MH, who should be referred for testing and the present recommendations for the testing cascade.

Getting started in researchMonday May 7 W46A 8.30-10am


Cost: $A25

Returning to work – making the process smooth and safeMonday May 7 W47A 10.30am-noon


Cost: $A25

Facilitators: Dr Kara Allen, Royal Melbourne Hospital and Monash Simulation, Melbourne and Dr Janette Wright, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne

Minimal research has been done into how time away from the operating theatre affects our craft group. Delivering safe anaesthesia involves a large number of technical and psychomotor skills, which are likely to deteriorate with lack of practice – a use it or lose it scenario. Meeting the need for retraining and familiarisation of the anaesthetist returning to work is complex and individual, and benefits not only the individual, but the whole craft group. This workshop is an opportunity to discuss these issues plus a variety of solutions with two anaesthetists who are actively involved in helping anaesthetists return to work. They utilise a course called CRASH that aims to increase confidence and decrease anxiety in those returning to work. This workshop is suitable for those planning a break from work, those returning to work, and those who supervise and support anaesthetists who take a career break.

Are we killing our patients? Or are they killing us?Monday May 7 SGD16 12.15-1.15pm


Cost: $A25

Facilitators: Dr Ben Turner, Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne and Dr Celine Baber, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Perth

A discussion on hygiene in theatre, to protect the patient and to protect us. Are you vigilant with hand hygiene? Do you double glove for intubation? Do you swab ampoules before opening? How do you protect your injection port against contamination? This will be a two part SGD about the up-to-date evidence supporting sterile patient zones, and the risk of poor theatre hygiene to the patient. The second part will be about the risk of respiratory and viral diseases in theatre impacting on surgeons and anaesthetists.

Beyond the anaphylaxis – what happens to my patient once the referral is made to the Anaesthetic Allergy Clinic? Wednesday May 9 SGD17 12.45-1.45pm


Cost: $A25

Facilitator: Dr Ji Young Heo, Liverpool Hospital, Sydney

What happens to a patient once they recover from anaphylaxis? Perioperative anaphylaxis is rare but can be life-threatening. ANZCA-endorsed ANZAAG guidelines on the management of anaphylaxis in paediatrics and adults were established in 2013 and revised in 2016. After a patient recovers from anaphylaxis, what test modalities are used to identify the cause? What are the implications for future anaesthesia planning? In this SGD, the importance of the initial referral and serum tests; the process of identifying the culprit agent and its possible cross-reactivity to other agents; practical points of such assessment; and interesting cases will be discussed.

“Mirror, mirror, on the wall” – feedback with attitude!Monday May 7 W51A 8.30-10am


Cost: $A25

Facilitator: Dr Marion Andrew, Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide

Attitudes and behaviour are the hardest aspects to address when providing honest feedback to trainees and colleagues. Often these are skipped over and ignored in favour of the much easier job of focusing on the critique of the task. How do I know what the impact of my behaviour and attitude is having on others? As a trainer or trainee, is my behaviour the subject of discussion in hushed corridor conversations? Have I already been told, but just wrote off the advice because it came across so critical and didn’t make sense to me? Will I only really find I’m sabotaging myself when I can’t get a job/promotion or end up on a TPR. In this workshop we work together on the “how to” of building trust, and testing out a model of feedback that addresses this gap.

How to use WebAIRS to run a personal audit, a departmental audit or a morbidity and mortality meetingMonday May 7 W54A 3.30-5pm

Obstetric Anaesthesia SIG Meeting

“Obstetric anaesthesia… delivering what matters”International Convention Centre, Sydney May 5-6, 2018

Call for abstracts!Submit your abstract today for the inaugural Michael Paech Research Prize Session. Visit the website for further information.

On behalf of the Obstetric Anaesthesia Special Interest Group we take great pleasure in inviting you to the 2018 meeting, being held in at the International Convention Centre Sydney from May 5-6. This meeting is being held as a satellite to the ANZCA ASM at the same venue, from May 7-11.

The meeting is titled “Obstetric anaesthesia…delivering what matters” and will cover best practice across a broad range of topics in obstetric anaesthesia. Three keynote international speakers have been confirmed: Professor Richard Smiley, New York Presbyterian Hospital, US, Professor Marc Van de Velde, Head

of the Department Anesthesiology at the Catholic University Leuven and Full Professor at the Leuven University Hospitals, Belgium, and Professor Warwick Ngan Kee from Sidra Medical and Research Center, Doha, Qatar. Local speakers include Professor Michael Paech, Associate Professor Alicia Dennis and Associate Professor Nolan McDonnell.

The scientific program is broad ranging and will include new techniques for delivering epidural analgesia, airway issues in obstetric anaesthesia, anaesthesia care for caesarean sections and care of critically ill women and those with high risk pregnancies. In addition to lectures there will be a number of emergency response workshops conducted, and the opportunity for participation in hospital based

simulation centres covering key skills and scenarios in obstetric anaesthesia. For the first time, the Obstetric Anaesthesia SIG will conduct a research prize session, and the organising committee calls for all researchers to submit an abstract.

Sydney will be on show on Saturday night with the welcome drinks followed by the conference dinner at Taronga Zoo, which has spectacular harbour views.

We look forward to welcoming you to this world class meeting.

The Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM) warmly welcome you to Sydney and the 16th Refresher Course Day.

This meeting will be held on Sunday May 6, prior to the ANZCA ASM and RACS ASC, in the new Sydney Convention Centre at Darling Harbour.

Our theme for the day is “The dark side of the mind”, a reference to the 1973 Pink Floyd album “The dark side of the moon”. The album is a framework for the sessions, not because any of us are old enough to remember the release, of course, but because it speaks to the darkness that can be the experience of living with pain. The lyrics of the album have been seen as a metaphor for darkness, a darkness that can destroy all positive emotions.

We will delve into the causes of “Brain damage” in our opening session, then walk through ways to manage the emotional and physical aspects of pain and anxiety beyond the confines of our local hospital in “Breathe”. After lunch we will become “Comfortably numb” with a look at risky prescribing by practitioners at the coalface of the dark side of prescription medicine use and abuse. The day will finish with a “Great gig in the sky” exploring the challenges of pain in the elderly population.

We welcome our two FPM international speakers. Professor Oscar de Leon-Casasola is Professor of Anesthesiology and Professor of Medicine at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine, New York, US. He is also chief of the Division of Pain Medicine and Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, and the current chair of

the American Society of Regional Analgesia and Pain Medicine. Professor Tor Wager is Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the Institute for Cognitive Science, University of Colorado. His research is extensive and has such broad relevance to modern life it has frequently seen him profiled in The New York Times and The New Yorker.

We fill the program out with a wonderful array of local speakers from many disciplines with a program designed for those of you interested in pain, no matter what your primary specialty.

“Hey you, don’t tell me there’s no hope at all.”

“Hey you, can you help me carry the stone?”
