Master Class on “low flow Anaesthesia”

The Master Class on Low Flow Anaesthesia, held on September 14, 2024, at the Simulation Center, was a Continuing Medical Education (CME) program designed to enhance knowledge and skills in anesthesiology. The event was organized by the Department of Anesthesiology, featuring leading experts in the field. The simulation center provided an interactive and hands-on learning environment, allowing for a rich exchange of ideas and experiences among faculty and postgraduate participants. Nearly 70 delegates including postgraduates and Faculties from various Medical College in Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry participated in it. Key points covered included the fundamental principles of Low Flow Anaesthesia, including its benefits such as decreased consumption of volatile anesthetics and reduced exposure to waste gases.

Detailed discussions on various techniques for implementing low flow rates, including adjustments in gas flow and monitoring parameters, were provided, along with practical applications and considerations for different types of surgeries. The resource faculty highlighted the clinical implications of adopting Low Flow Anaesthesia, emphasizing its role in improving patient outcomes and optimizing resource use.

Hands-on training was facilitated by the Simulation Center, where participants could practice low flow techniques under the guidance of the experts. This interactive component was crucial for reinforcing theoretical knowledge with practical skills.

In conclusion, the Master Class on Low Flow Anaesthesia was a significant educational event, contributing valuable insights and practical skills to attendees. The expertise of Dr.Nagalakshmi P, Dr.Prasanna Bidkar, and Dr.Hemanth Kumar, combined with the interactive environment of the Simulation Center, ensured a comprehensive learning experience for all participants. The program successfully met its objectives of advancing knowledge and enhancing the practice of anesthesiology.
