Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018 SS2: Pain Management: A Spectrum of Care 1 - 5 p.m. Sedation and Anxiety Management
Moderator: David H. Yu Speaker: Michael S. Higgins
Space is limited; attendance is on a first-come, first- served basis.
This lecture-based presentation will consist of a comprehensive review of pain management options. A well-implemented systematic approach to patient comfort impacts many aspects of successful patient care with improved:
• Patient acceptance based upon the anticipated surgical experience.
• Patient follow through of staged procedures. • Surgical team stress and performance. • Surgical outcomes. • Healing and infection rates. • Positive patient experiences.
Thorough consideration of both the physical and emotional aspects of patient comfort during the pre-, peri-, and post-operative period is crucial for a positive surgical experience. Thoughtful management of the pain control tools available includes the proper selection and application of sedatives/anxiolytics, local anesthetics, and post-operative analgesia regimens.
Educational Objectives: • Identify various options for pain and anxiety management.
• Consider pharmacology and use of local anesthetics including enhancement additives.
• Implement patient evaluation and selection criteria for basic and advanced pain management procedures.
• Review pharmacologic considerations for anxiolytic, sedative, and general anesthetic agents.
• Adopt criteria for selection and application of appropriate sedation or general anesthetic techniques.
• Manage post-operative discomfort including concepts of multi-modal analgesia.
• Evaluate obstructive sleep apnea and its influence on pain management strategies.

With Keynote Speaker Captain Mark Kelly Endeavor to Succeed
Featuring a presidential address by Dr. Steven Daniel
NASA space mission commander and American hero Captain Mark Kelly demonstrates how focus, dedication, and persistence can help you tap into your potential to succeed in any competitive setting.
With an extraordinary career of service to our military, our nation, and humanity, Kelly has secured his place in history as a role model, modern-day pioneer, and leader of distinction. Together with his identical twin brother, Scott, he has laid the groundwork for the future of space exploration as the subjects of an unprecedented NASA study on how space affects the human body. Currently, Kelly is on the Commercial Crew Safety Board at Space X—and is the only person at Space X who has commanded a space mission—and is co-founder of World View, a full-service commercial space launch provider.
Kelly captivates audiences with lessons learned from his extensive travels and experiences in the Navy, outer space, and on the ground. From leading teams in some of the most dynamic environments imaginable, to the thrill of spaceflight, and the recovery and resilience of his wife Gabrielle Giffords, he reveals the foundations for success so you can accomplish your mission in life and work.
