Session Descriptions/Learning Objectives
General Session 1: Enhancing Enhanced Recovery:
Transitioning from 23 Hour Stay to Same Day Discharge
After participating in this activity, the learner will be able to: 1)
Understand the key differences in the concept of enhanced recovery
after inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures; 2) Discuss the key
elements that would enhance functional recovery after ambulatory
surgery; 3) Recognize the potential impact of patient selection on
perioperative outcome; 4) Explain evidence-based strategies in
achieving rapid recovery after specific procedures that are increasingly
performed in an ambulatory setting; 5) Develop clinical pathways based
on the updated best practices approach.
General Session 2: Advances in Airway Management in
the ASC and NORA
This session will list airway management strategies for GI endoscopy,
compare different ventilation management technologies and describe
the utility of the Thrive non-ETT oxygenation and ventilation technique
for ambulatory ENT and NORA procedures, and the use of Thrive in
difficult airway situations. Strategies to avoid some common, minor but
annoying, complications associated with the use of SGAs, ETTs and
other airway adjuncts will be covered.
General Session 3: ASC Pratice Management: Not as
Easy as it Sounds
At the end of the presentation, participants should be able to use
practice management principles to improve the efficiency of an ASC,
while maintaining patient safety; identify new education opportunities
that address gaps that will improve your career as an ASC Medical
Director; understand Value Based Purchasing and improve patient
satisfaction scores; and prepare for an active shooter emergency.
General Session 4: Practicing Beyond the
SAMBA Guidelines
In 2010 SAMBA published the first of several consensus statements
on ambulatory anesthesia considerations for patients with certain
medical conditions. Three common maladies that challenge ambulatory
anesthesiologists: diabetes, obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
will be covered in this panel. This panel will discuss those original
statements and new information in terms of therapies, medications,
guidelines since their publication. The panelists will also highlight the
issues still unresolved for patients with those conditions undergoing
procedures in different ambulatory settings.
General Session 5: Opioid Problems in Your Own
Backyard
Attendees will learn opioid minimizing techniques across the ambulatory
surgery continuum. Methods to minimize opioid prescribing practices
as well as developing community educational programs will be explored.
General Session 6: Accreditation Panel
During this session the attendee will learn about the economic pressures
being placed on providers to make healthcare more affordable while
maintaining quality and safety, the impact that regulatory bodies have
on daily practice and their importance and the use of true outcomes
measures for both improving care and driving reimbursement.
General Session 7: Cases from the Real World
During this session, attendees will examine actual case scenarios and
integrate various methods of care and strategies for preclinical problem
solving for ambulatory surgical patients into their daily practice.
General Session 8: They Are Not Just Little Adults
Following this session, attendees will be able to assess and manage
pediatric tonsillectomy patients with sleep disordered breathing, judge
how obesity in the pediatric patient has different implications for
different cases, summarize common pediatric controversies and
their relevant facts.
General Session 9: Regional Anesthesia: Common
Blocks, Common Problems
After participating in this session, the learners will be able to choose
reasonable investigations and treatments as necessary, identify
reasonable timelines for recovery. Participants will also be able to list
those nerve blocks that are most useful in the ambulatory setting,
discuss the significant advantages of these regional anesthetic
techniques and describe the clinical pearls and potential pitfalls involved
with their use.
OBA Symposium
For anesthesiologists opening and operating an office-based practice,
there are numerous considerations for managing and operating the
practice. Attendees will learn from colleagues in the trenches.
Consult the Experts
These small group sessions are specifically designed to provide an
opportunity for open and detailed discussions of relevant ambulatory
anesthesia and surgery topics. Expert speaker session formats may
range from a relatively unstructured “open house”, where attendees
can stop by and ask specific questions to prepared introductory topic
remarks followed by open discussion by the small group.
ASA Update
Attendees will gain an understanding of the American Society of
Anesthesiologists’ role in an educational, research and scientific
association of physicians and delineate how practitioners can use its
resources to enhance their patient care and professional activities.
Problem Based Learning Discussions (PBLD)
Attendees will discuss and critique the evaluation, management and
implementation of patient care in specific ambulatory clinical scenarios.
Excellence and Innovation Presentations
Attendees will be able to describe focused ambulatory anesthesia
knowledge gained through research as presented by scientific
abstract awardees.

outcomes. Topics for this meeting were selected by various
methods. Suggestions for topics were derived from evaluations
of the 2018 and other previous Annual Meetings. In addition,
the Annual Meeting Committee and Board members review the
published literature with the highest impact on the specialty, and
solicit suggestions from members of SAMBA active in the clinical
practice of ambulatory anesthesia. These suggestions were
discussed with educators who attended previous Annual, Mid-Year
and SAMBA Board meetings.
