• Environmental degradation and climate change are projected to affect these countries disproportionately.
• Efficiency in resource-constrained settings.
• Importance of avoiding fruitless expenditure.
- Knowledge gaps:
• Reliance upon N2O in LMIC.
• Availability of alternatives.
• Practice norms in LMIC.
• N2O costs in LMIC.
• Practicalities of adopting POC cylinders (anaesthetic machine compatibility, local regulations, local availability of E-cylinders, cost implications of smaller cylinder sizes, road transport of N2O).

Speakers – Learning Objectives
Moderators:
- Carin Hagberg – USA
- Daniel Perin – Brazil
- Abderrahmane Boaggad – Morocco
Speakers:
- Anil Patel – United Kingdom
- Sheila Myatra – India
- Ellen O’Sullivan – Ireland
Learning objectives
- 1) Role of HFNO in the obstructed airway – Anil Patel (UK)
The obstructed airway can lead to life-threatening airway compromise, requiring urgent intervention. The goal of this talk is to understand the physiological principles and role of HFNO in the management of the obstructed airway. These include (i) improvements in oxygenation, (ii) improved CO2 clearance with enhanced washout of anatomical dead space, (iii) generation of positive pressure opening the airway, (iv) reduced work of breathing, and (v) reduced patient distress. - 2) “The tube went in, but my patient still collapsed”
The physiologically difficult airway: preventing cardiovascular collapse – Sheila Myatra (India)
Complications associated with tracheal intubation in critically ill patients remain high, with hypotension being the most common. The goal of this talk is to understand the challenges associated with emergent tracheal intubation in critically ill patients who often present with a physiologically difficult airway and discuss optimisation strategies as well as controversies in this arena. - 3) Management of Post Thyroidectomy Bleed: Dos and Don’ts – Ellen O’Sullivan (Ireland)
Thyroid surgery is common, with bleeding a complication requiring re-operation in over 1.3% of all cases. This presentation will focus on the observations required to avoid missing a neck haematoma, the need for, and contents of, a post-thyroid surgery emergency box near the bedside, and how best to manage this life-threatening complication.
