All anaesthesiologists are required to have a thorough understanding of ventilation, including the best strategies and their Gone are the days of “Air goes in, Air goes out”. Given our current ventilation machines, knowledge of respiratory mechanics, ever more challenging surgeries and patients, managing patients can be quite a challenge!
Who is this Ventilation World Anaesthesia Games for? the short answer is everyone (we all breathe after all!). The long answer is this Ventilation World Anesthesia Games session is suitable for anaesthesiologists and intensivists at any stage of practice. Through the Ventilation World Anaesthesia Games you will have updates, and re-learn all aspects of care of patients requiring respiratory support. This Ventilation World Anaesthesia Games is also relevant for respiratory technicians, physiotherapists, operating department practitioners, and all who want to improve ventilation management.
Although you will have fun, the learning level is not aimed at super-experts such as fellowship trained ICU physicians, or ICU consultants who probably know all this already.
Learning objectives upon completion of this Ventilation World Anaesthesia Game, participants should be able to:
1. Design a plan of non-invasive ventilation strategies in the ICU that you can use depending on the morbidities of your patient that may assist avoid, delay or wean from invasive ventilation
2. Understand the limitations of ventilators and the challenges that may arise with ventilated patients, and you can overcome these.
3. Focus on patients with co-morbidities that pose a specific challenge for optimal ventilation strategies
4. Learn teamwork tools including crisis resource management as you learn and play together in your team of physicians of different abilities and experience

Most women expect to have an uneventful course, and anaesthesiologists will be providing labor analgesia (often through epidurals) and anaesthesia for cesarean delivery. Unfortunately, everything can go wrong, very fast. Complications may occur in women with known risk factors or may occur when least expected. Rapid team decisions are needed to manage these complications.
The Obstetrics World Anaesthesia Games is designed to simulate your fun learning center so you can refresh and learn obstetric anaesthesia, team management strategies and get updates about best practice recommendations.
The World Anaesthesia Games are planned to give you tools to practically implement, for managing your patients.
As a team, you will learn and play, and every game has planned learning goals and a structured debrief at the end to reinforce the learned information.
Learning objectives for participants of the Obstetric World Anaesthesia Games:
1- Know the risk factors for preeclampsia and postpartum haemorrhage so you can anticipate and then treat obstetric patients with these serious conditions
2- Understand when ultrasound can be useful to care for your obstetric patient
3- Discuss preeclampsia risks and complications, and understand the optimal anaesthesia management plan for your obstetric patient with preeclampsia requiring anaesthesia
4- Learn teamwork tools including crisis resource management as you learn and play together in your team of physiciansof different abilities and experience
