Conversations With an Ophthalmic Anesthetist: Topics We Should All Know
During this live webinar, we will open up a discussion of several topics where both the surgeon and anesthetic provider take responsibility for the well-being of the patient and the successful outcome of the eye surgical procedure. Topics that will be addressed are commonly faced concerns: should patients be fasted, how to manage a patient with dementia, poorly controlled blood pressure or blood sugar, and the recognition and management of rare, but serious, medical problems in the operating room. (Level: Intermediate)
Uveitis: Therapeutics Update
The therapy for non-infectious uveitis has continued to evolve during the pandemic.
