15-16 November 2024
Program as PDF
Dear colleagues
We are delighted to invite you to the 23rd St.Gallen Airway Management Symposium.
Effective and safe airway management is of absolute importance in anaesthesiology, as even minimal errors can have serious consequences for patients.
One challenge is that every patient brings along individual characteristics that may require an individualized approach. Standard protocols are important and of merit for regularly practised and established procedures, but are also sometimes no longer sufficient to cover the variety of possible clinical scenarios. It is therefore essential in anaesthesiology to look beyond the obvious and develop innovative solutions. Thinking «outside the box» means breaking through traditional thought patterns and exploring new ways of dealing with challenging situations. This requires not only sound clinical and technical understanding, but also creativity and flexibility. By relying on new technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration, we can continuously develop airway management and thereby further improve patient safety. The key to success lies in continuous learning. Only through constant and proactive development can we ensure that we always offer our patients the best possible care.
We are proud and delighted to welcome outstanding national and international experts as well as many enthusiastic clinicians to the 23rd St.Gallen Airway Management Symposium in 2024. Together we will share our enthusiasm for airway management and learn a lot from each other.
Sincerely
Prof Dr Markus Lüdi
Prof Dr Thomas Heidegger
Dr Daniel Heisenberg
