Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) still falls off the radar of many clinicians, despite RCTs and Medicare approval. Whether it’s Decompression Illness or a range of medical problems, the patient must enter a purpose-built, steel chamber, be compressed typically to 2-3 atmospheres and breathe oxygen. The Hyperbaric Unit at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital is the most recently installed state-of-the-art chamber system in Australasia. The unit also provides the 24 hour DAN Diving Emergency Service Hotline for the South East Asia and Pacific regions. This workshop will tour the new facility and discuss the rationale and practice of HBO.

The new RAH opened in September 2017 and with its 800 beds is the state’s largest hospital. Its architecture includes lots of light and internal green space including many courtyards, terraces and sky gardens. 40 technical suites with the most advanced technology provide our anaesthetists with many challenges. Come and see for yourself what the hype about the new RAH is all about.

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.

W11 – Hypnosis for Trainees (TRAINEE SESSION)

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.

W19 – Hypnosis in Anaesthesia and Critical Care

Date / Time Monday 08/10/18 1330-1730


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.

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.

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

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.
