Welcome to SSAI2022

Dear all,

SSAI 2022 in Oslo starts in two weeks! There are still a few slots left, so register today!

The long-awaited SSAI 2022 congress is now right around the corner, and we are ready to welcome you! Despite several waves of pandemia, and uncertainties related to war, energy crisis, travel restriction etc, we have been fortunate to gather a program of high quality with excellent speakers at top international level from 13 different countries (the Nordic countries, UK, Canada, USA, Belgium, United Arabic Emirates, Netherlands, Germany and Australia).

You have many choices to pick sessions of your taste with one plenary session in the morning and 6 parallel sessions the rest of the day, in total 50 sessions. Study the enclosed program and the list of 126 invited speakers and make your choices! We have covered all fields in our specialty, both clinically and scientifically, and have also covered themes like pollution caused by anesthesia drugs and gases, DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), artificial intelligence and climate crisis: implications for medical treatment, a session on the ongoing war in Ukraine from a medical and ethical perspective and much more.

We also offer 6 interesting and highly practical workshops.

For more information and registration visit the conference site: www.SSAI2022.com

We expect the SSAI Congress in Oslo 2022 to be a long-awaited opportunity to physically meet, mingle and discuss our latest achievements within the international community of anaesthesiologists and intensivists. There will be many opportunities for social gatherings: a welcome reception in the City Hall on Wednesday, and on Thursday a conference dinner with excellent food and entertainment. In addition, you have all that Oslo offers during light summer evenings and nights.

We look very much forward to meeting you in Oslo in June!

Kind regards
Tor Inge Tønnessen
Congress President of the 36th biennial SSAI conference

Workshop topics

Participating in workshops will offer you a unique opportunity to engage with faculty,
network with colleagues, and participate in interactive and hands-on sessions. We
are planning a wide range of workshops, coving interests across various domains in
anaesthesia and critical care.

How to ventilate the critically ill?

Simulation based ventilation training where you will be exposed to various scenarios
with a spontaneously breathing patient with an advanced lung solution to simulate
challenging clinical ventilator cases.

How to become more evidence based as practitioners?

Practical introduction to use of the MagicApp as a digital tool to support our clinical
decision-making. MAGIC is a research and innovation program and non-profit
initiative within the health care sector, working to improve the creation, dissemination
and dynamic updating of clinical practice guidelines, evidence summaries and
decision aids. Instructors include both software engineers, methodologists and
clinicians with extensive experience in using this digital tool.

How to safely transport contagious critically ill patients?

Critical care transport masterclass: Primary transport and Inter-hospital transfers of
critically ill and potentially contagious patients remain core skills for the pre-hospital
anesthesiologist. This masterclass presents some key principles in transport of
patients in multi-organ failure aiming to provide a seamless critical care environment.
Principles of transport of highly infectious patients will also be covered with
simulations. Instructors include personnel from rescEU NOrwegian Jet Ambulance
High Infectious Patients task force.

How to get started with bedside ultrasound for critically ill patients?

Practical introduction and training for those who want to get started with bedside
ultrasound in the critical care setting. Main focus will be basic exams of heart and
lungs.

How to improve your bedside ultrasound skills for the critically ill?

Practical education and training in bedside ultrasound in the critical care setting for
those looking to improve their skills. Focused head to toe ultrasound for intensivists
where the exact content will be tailored to participant needs.

How to improve your ultrasound skills for regional anesthesia?

Practical education and training in different ultrasound techniques used to guide
regional anesthesia.
