Objectives

This multi‑specialty represented conference is intended for physicians (anesthesia, dental, emergency medicine, gastroenterology, hospital medicine, internal medicine, oncology, pediatrics, radiology) nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and administrators interested in sedation.

Our faculty is from the United States and abroad, and represents a collection of national and internationally‑recognized experts. This conference attracts a diverse group of national and international attendees, all of whom share an interest in pediatric sedation.

At the suggestion of past attendees, we have expanded our didactic sessions this year to offer multiple, concurrently‑run, focused, personalized, specialized afternoon tracts featuring pertinent and timely topics of interests in the field of hospital medicine, pediatric dentistry and nursing.

In addition, other afternoon tracts will feature in‑depth expansion of topics which include Dexmedetomidine, Propofol, Ketamine, the role and application of the pediatric simulator as well as a provocative look at the Arts and Science of Sedation. Our didactics will continue to include large general sessions as well as an offering of small, interactive round‑table discussions with the faculty and attendees.

The Keynote Speaker will be David Breashears, the award winning producer and cinematographer who made history when he produced the first IMAX film entitled EVEREST, documenting his team's ascent of Mount Everest on the fateful year which witnessed the most fatalities in the history of the mountain. His keynote lecture, Lessons from Mt. Everest: Responding Quickly to Changing Conditions should captivate us all.
