About the Course

Dr. Adlesic will guide attendees through various health conditions, behaviors, and complexities that may arise during patient sedation. He will cover Serotonin Toxicity Syndrome and Hereditary Angioedema.

He will discuss the implications of anesthesia with GLP-1 Agonists, which are increasingly being used by patients who may be diabetic, obese, or even of normal weight.

With the increased legalization and usage of marihuana, practitioners need to understand the current data on how this drug interacts with popular anesthetics. Dr. Adlesic will discuss the most recent findings in this area.

Additional material will cover the perioperative management of asthma in Office Anesthesia and the handling of Perioperative Anaphylaxis and Kounis Syndrome.

Attendees can expect to be better prepared to handle the following anesthetic variables:

  • Serotonin Syndromes are becoming more common in clinical practice. The hypertension, tachycardia, and hyperthermia seen can mimic Malignant Hyperthermia. Anesthetic agents may interact with serotonin drugs to precipitate rather bizarre reactions.
  • Diabetes is commonly seen in our practices. What should we do and when do we defer? NPO is not necessarily a guarantee of an aspiration-free anesthetic.
  • Marihuana: What are the interactions? Do we tell everyone to hold this drug for 72 hours? This will all be discussed in this presentation.
  • Asthma and anesthesia: What do we do and who needs to go to the hospital? How do you use an albuterol inhaler in an open-airway anesthetic?
  • Hereditary angioedema is rare but possible. What medications must we have in an office and at home? What is the airway risk?
  • Anaphylaxis from a bee sting in the yard is not the same as anaphylaxis during an anesthetic. How do we manage the "Stay Puff Marshmallow Man” with no blood pressure and chest pain?
