Webinar: Perioperative Challenges for Preserving Brain Health
To celebrate World Brain Health Day on 22 July, WFSA is organising a webinar in partnership with the SNACC (Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care). The webinar will focus on perioperative challenges for preserving brain health.
Tuesday, 22nd July 2025
07:00 CST / 09:00 EDT / 14:00 BST / 15:00 SAST / 18:30 IST
PROGRAMME:
- Introduction by the chairs
- Talk 1: Perioperative Brain Health: From Risk to Resilience by Dr. Susana Vacas
- Talk 2: Perioperative Stroke: Risk Factors, Detection, and Intervention by Dr. Phillip Vlisides
- Talk 3: Anaesthetic Strategies for Brain Protection by Dr. Zainub Jooma
- Talk 4: Perioperative Delirium: Practical Strategies for Prevention, Detection and Postoperative Brain Health by Dr. Swagata Tripathy
- Q&A and discussion
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Identify key risk factors and early indicators for perioperative brain complications, including stroke and delirium.
- Describe evidence-based anaesthetic and perioperative strategies aimed at protecting and optimising brain health across the surgical timeline.
- Apply practical approaches for the prevention, detection, and management of perioperative cognitive disturbances to support long-term neurological outcomes.
Certificates of participation will be issued within 15 business days of the webinar. Participants must attend for a minimum of 60 minutes to qualify.
If you are unable to attend the live webinar, please register anyway so that we can send you the recording.
