Participating in this highly-anticipated event, Mindray, in collaboration with international experts and associations, explores the forefront of academia alongside anesthesiologists worldwide, while establishing a platform and expanding the international network of professionals dedicated to innovating and promoting positive developments in the medical industry.

Exploring New Frontiers in Anesthesia: Academic Insights from Leading Experts

In the field of anesthesia management, we are currently facing challenges including the need to improve pre-oxygenation techniques and tackle the complexities of monitoring consciousness during anesthesia. How can modern technological advances help to effectively address these crucial clinical issues?

 

For decades, Mindray has engaged in meaningful collaboration with healthcare professionals and institutions on academic research and clinical applications. On March 4, the Mindray Symposium, themed "How to deliver safe oxygenation and improve mechanical ventilation & CIIA in the operating room," captivated over 300 experts with a comprehensive overview of the latest insights. Distinguished speakers in the field delved into practical clinical approaches aimed at optimizing patient care through the effective utilization of innovative technology. As Prof. Daniel Talmor at Harvard Medical School noted, "for many years, an anesthesia machine was an anesthesia machine. We are starting to see some real innovation in the way that products are added to the anesthesia machine."

Topic: Improve preoxygenation for safer intubation by combining two techniques of preoxygenation in OR

“OPTI-MASK in the operating room combines High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) and a standard face mask. This addressed the needs for sicker patients in the ICU with HFNC and non-invasive ventilation. Let's combine them, get the synergistic benefit of two types of pre-oxygenation and get a better outcome for our patients.”

Topic: How to Use equivalent minimum alveolus concentration based on response surface model as indicator of anesthetic potency of inhaled anesthetic, propofol, and opioids?

“eMAC can guide us for drug titration and administration, simplify clinical training and ensure accurate parameter use. The future technique will help us to make everything more precise, we can react in advance and finally improve patient safety. The future anesthesia workstation will be closed, route, integrated, and in precise prediction and titration for every individual patient.”

Topic: How to use HFJV in OR?

"High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) is a very helpful tool for a select group of procedures, airway surgery, ENT procedures, intervention pulmonology, intervention, and cardiology. It can be lifesaving in CICO situations."

The symposium buzzed with excitement as the audience actively participated at the Q&A session, showing a keen interest in the thought-provoking topics discussed. Engaging discussions were sparked by attendees who raised stimulating questions about jet ventilation for vocal cord surgery in obese patients, the concurrent use of standard face masks and high-flow nasal cannula for preoxygenation, and the importance of incorporating a more diverse range of international patients in research studies.
