American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Journal CME (Apr 18, 2017 - Apr 17, 2020)
Journal CME
OVERVIEW
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Journal CME is organized by American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and will be held during Apr 18, 2017 - Apr 17, 2020.
The target audience for this medical event is ANESTHESIOLOGY Journal CME is intended for anesthesiologists. Researchers and other health care professionals with an interest in anesthesiology may also participate. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Ischemic optic neuropathy is the most common form of perioperative visual loss, with highest incidence in cardiac and spinal fusion surgery. To date, potential risk factors have been identified in cardiac surgery by only small, singleinstitution studies. To determine the preoperative risk factors for ischemic optic neuropathy, the authors used the National Inpatient Sample, a database of inpatient discharges for nonfederal hospitals in the United States. Adults aged 18 yr or older admitted for coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve repair or replacement surgery, or left ventricular assist device insertion in National Inpatient Sample from 1998 to 2013 were included. Risk of ischemic optic neuropathy was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression.
Conference Objectives are :
After successfully completing this activity, the learner will be able to do the following:
• Describe ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) risk to patients
• Recognize factors associated with increased risk of ION in prone spine surgery
• Evaluate the risk of ION in a patient requiring a cardiac procedure
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
