#SASM2024
Sleep is a foundation of health, and the effects of sleep disorders can be broad and significant. The impact of sleep disorders on hospitalized patients and patients receiving anesthesia are complex, and new data continues to emerge about the most effective ways to diagnose and care for patients in the hospital and at home.
Join us for this high impact meeting with experts discussing topics including post-operative respiratory monitoring, novel methods of delivering PAP therapy, wellness and sleep, and novel medications and their impact on anesthesia. Other topics include surgical evaluation and treatment
of sleep apnea and pediatric sleep apnea. Additionally, we will hear from patient speakers as well as receive updates from SASM leaders related to perioperative care of patients with sleep disorders. Our meeting will also include a hands-on workshop where participants will be able to
speak with experts in sleep medicine and anesthesiology.
This course is designed to be high yield for people working in the fields of anesthesiology, sleep, medicine, perioperative and critical care and inpatient medicine and will be valuable for people at any level of training.
