ORTHOPEDIC SAME DAY DISCHARGE
Amy Dooley, MS, RN, CPAN, CAPA​
Amy Dooley, a perianesthesia nurse in the industry for over 30 years, has presented topics specific to perianesthesia nurses. both nationally and internationally. She is the Clinical Educator for the Pre-Operative Center, Ambulatory Surgery, and the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at a level 1 Trauma Center in the United States.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTing OF A PERIOPERATIVE PAIN-MANAGEMENT APPLICATION FOR ADULT PATIENTS IN SAME DAY SURGERY
Karsten Lomholt Lassen, RN, Nurse Anesthetist 
Karsten is Registered Nurse and Nurse Anaesthetist, working with the anesthesia department on acute pain management science, She especially focuses on nociceptive pain science for acute pain management in the EAS Unit (translation from Danish: "Enhed for akut smertebehandling"), Center of Head and Orthopedic, Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen,  Denmark.

​.The project Karsten will tell us about is being performed in their perioperative department. This work includes pre- and post operative outpatients. The subjects of focus for this project are preoperative nurses and the outpatient population..​
Airway Management 
Airway management is one of the cornerstones for modern anaesthesia and is vital for all patients undergoing general anaesthesia. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are increasingly used for managing airways. The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide, ∼250 million patients undergo general anaesthesia for major surgery on an annual basis and annually ∼150 million SADs are used worldwide. 

Many consider the SAD to be a device that is easy to insert and that can be used for ever-increasing indications during various types of surgery, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, in the department of emergency medicine, in the intensive care unit, in the prehospital setting, and as an important step in the difficult airway algorithm. 
We hardly put efforts into verification of the correct placement or positioning of the device in situ after insertion. Contrary to the insertion of a tracheal tube, which is guided to the trachea under (in)direct vision of a (video)laryngoscope, the insertion of a SAD is virtually a ‘blind’ technique, whereby one relies on the practitioner's skills to insert the device correctly into the hypopharynx. 

​Supraglottic airway devices are generally forgiving devices because even suboptimally positioned SADs still can provide adequate ventilation for the patients during short procedures. However, malpositioning of the device can result in negative outcomes for the patient. ​
