This year the theme of the meeting
is “The changing face of anaesthesia
and pain medicine”. It is said that the
body of medical knowledge doubles
every five years – it would be
impossible for us to stay abreast of
this rapid pace of change and keep
informed about relevant research
and advances in technology,
pharmacology and treatments
without meetings such as this. In
addition, the health system also
faces challenges with changing
demographics due to an ageing
population and an uncertain
global economy.
The convenors and their organising
committees have worked hard
to develop a scientific program
designed to stimulate and inform
and a social program for you to
network and unwind in Adelaide,
voted by Lonely Planet as ‘The
Perfect Host City’.
We are grateful to all the invited
speakers, from around the world as
well as locally and the outstanding
support from the healthcare
industry who together all contribute
to making this a successful, quality
conference.
Dr Genevieve Goulding
ANZCA President
The Faculty of Pain Medicine
Scientific Convenor Dr Gary Clothier
has developed a captivating program
for the FPM Refresher Course Day
to be held on Friday, May 1 at the
National Wine Centre of Australia.
We both look forward to welcoming
you to the beautiful city of Adelaide
for the 2015 ANZCA and FPM ASM.

INVITATION FROM CONVENORS
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Regional Organising Committee, we warmly and excitedly
welcome you to the 2015 Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New
Zealand College of Anaesthetists and the Faculty of Pain Medicine in Adelaide.
Our theme for the 2015 meeting, “The changing face of anaesthesia and pain
medicine” reflects not only the changing face of our demography but also
the cultural changes within Australia and New Zealand that are impacting
on our practice today. We are also looking to the future and presenting the
latest scientific research and clinical advances which will determine how
our specialties advance. The meeting will be held in the recently renovated
Adelaide Convention Centre making an already top class facility even better.
Dr Aileen Craig
Convenor
The changing face theme also reflects the new meeting format that we are
introducing at the Adelaide ASM. There will be all the usual plenary sessions,
workshops and small group discussions but it will be set out as a four full
day meeting. The weekend will be a “refresher” predominantly dedicated
to clinical anaesthesia and the Monday and Tuesday focusing more on
scientific content and research. Our sessions will be presented by renowned
international, national and local speakers from both anaesthesia and
pain medicine.
The Regional Organising Committee will spoil you with entertainment and
functions showcasing the food and wine that has made South Australia
famous and promise to continue the tradition of fun and camaraderie the
ASM is known for.
Dr Nathan Davis
Scientific Convenor
Of course, an event like this would not be possible without the sponsorship of
the healthcare industry and we welcome our industry colleagues once again
and look forward to the opportunity to experience an extensive
healthcare exhibition.
We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide and trust you will thoroughly
enjoy the 2015 ASM.

COLLEGE CEREMONY ORATOR
Ms Gill Hicks
You Only Live Twice
Well, in my case you can
absolutely live twice. Each and
every day that has passed since
my rescue following the horrific
terrorist bombings in London,
2005, I have praised all those who
never gave up. The medics have
become my role models in what
I call my life Number 2, and it is
my vow to give back to humanity
and make a difference just as they
have done for me.
In 2006 Gill was appointed Ambassador for Peace Direct (Best
New Charity 2005), in 2007 an Advocate for Leonard Cheshire
Disability and most recently has founded M.A.D. for Peace, a notfor-profit organisation which communicates the importance of
our individual responsibility in creating a world in which extreme
conflict is ended.
She is well-known for her inspirational talks and seminars with
many diverse organisations in the UK and Australia including
charities, city institutions, schools and community groups.
Her first book, One Unknown, is published by Rodale, part of Pan
Macmillan and was shortlisted for the Mind Book of the Year, 2007.
Severely and permanently injured
in the London bombings of July 7, 2005, Gill Hicks lost both legs
from below the knee. She discovered a great inner strength to
not only fight for her life that morning but to learn to walk again
using prosthetic legs.
Gill has recently been honoured with an MBE for her services
to charity in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List, and became
both Australian of the Year in the UK and Australian Woman of
the Year in the UK. She was also recently listed in the prestigious
2011 edition of Who’s Who of Australian Women.
Gill is truly grateful to even be alive. She is determined to make
her life count, to make a significant difference. Her aim is to use
her experience to do all she can to deter anyone from following a
path of violent action. She is a firm believer that we all have the
strength and ability to make a difference and to create a world
that is peaceful.
In 2013 Gill gave birth to her first child - Amelie - at the age of 44.
Ms Gill Hicks appears by arrangement with Saxton Speakers Bureau.
Originally from Adelaide, Gill has lived in London since 1992 and
now divides her time between the United Kingdom and Australia.
She is former Publishing Director of the architecture, design and
contemporary culture magazine, Blueprint, Director of Dangerous
Minds multi-disciplinary design and publishing group, and latterly
Head of Curation at the UK’s Design Council. She is a Fellow of
the Royal Society of Arts, Trustee of the Women’s Playhouse Trust
and is an Advisor to Psychology Beyond Borders.

CPD program approval
This event is claimable by ANZCA CPD participants within the
knowledge and skills and emergency responses categories;
Knowledge and skills activities
Lectures, breakfast and lunchtime sessions for one credit per hour
Workshops, small group discussions, PBLDs for two credits per hour
ANZCA acknowledges the spirit of ANZAC
Emergency responses activities
ANZCA workshop education sessions that include, can’t
intubate, can’t oxygenate (CICO), cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis,
or major haemorrhage can be claimed but they must have
been prospectively recognised as suitable to be claimed as an
emergency response activity.
Further detail regarding emergency responses education sessions
and how to have them recognised as suitable can be found in the
ANZCA CPD Handbook or on the ANZCA website.

From 2014 through to 2018, Australia and New Zealand
remember, celebrate and pay tribute to 100 years of ANZAC.
The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and
the Faculty of Pain Medicine are very proud of the contributions
of their members, both past and present, who have served their
countries and provided care and compassion across the world to
so many wounded servicemen and women.
Delegates will be able to view both a special ANZAC display and
an online history exhibition focusing on the contributions of
anaesthetists and pain medicine specialists from early conflicts
such as the Boer War through to modern conflicts including
Afghanistan and Iraq. A commemorative book telling the stories
of Australian and New Zealanders will also be launched by
ANZCA at the 2015 Adelaide ASM.
As part of the 2015 annual scientific meeting (ASM), the work,
commitment, innovation and experiences of these Fellows will
be highlighted. On Sunday May 3, 2015, three full sessions
of the daily program will be devoted to talks ranging from the
development of military anaesthesia across a century, wartime
medical achievements and onto the advances in medicine during
modern military conflicts.
For specific information on the history sessions and speakers
please refer to the program. Updates will be available regularly
at www.asm.anzca.edu.au

ASM Tablet App and Virtual ASM
We strongly encourage you to bring your WiFi-enabled
device to the meeting. You will have access to the
scientific program, ePosters, Speaker CVs and the
abstracts as well as the option of adding sessions to
MyEvents to build your personalised program guide.
The Tablet App will also enable audience participation
through interactive voting systems and instant
submission of questions to presenters which are sure to
add some fun to post-presentation discussions.
Introduction to Workshops and Small Group Discussions ASM 2015
To encourage and increase participation from all Fellows
and trainees, the 2015 ASM small group discussions have
been developed to ensure collaboration and a general
sharing of ideas and experiences.
A number of the sessions in 2015 are aimed specifically
at trainees based on feedback received from previous
years. We acknowledge that on occasion trainees feel
reluctant to join a discussion group of potentially senior
consultants. However with a good mix of sessions and
small groups, we trust that all Fellows and trainees will
find a group that meets their needs and offers both a
challenge and a forum for collegiate discussion.
The individual sessions will be capped at 12 participants
to allow meaningful discourse across the whole group.
Individuals are encouraged to bring along their own
experiences, so we can enjoy lively and engaging
discussion, with a cross pollination of ideas from the
anaesthesia community. Some sessions may include a
little pre reading prior to attendance, and participants will
be duly informed and supplied nearer the time.

Dr Rob Young
Workshop Co-convenor
The workshops are predominantly skills based, with an
emphasis on simulation based training in the emergency
responses to cardiac arrest, loss of the airway and
anaphylaxis. Capacity in these workshops has been
greatly increased in order to meet the anticipated
demand. Priority will be given to anaesthetists in rural and
predominantly private practice, who may otherwise have
difficulty accessing similar courses locally.
Additional workshops are provided throughout the four
days of the meeting in a wide range of areas from pre
hospital emergency procedures to echocardiography,
hypnosis to effective communication. All workshops will
be run onsite and have been timetabled to avoid clashing
with plenary sessions.
We hope that the workshops will provide a relaxed
atmosphere for the acquisition of new skills or the honing
of existing ones, and recommend that you book early
to secure a place. We also welcome your feedback and
suggestions for further meetings.
See you in Adelaide!

Non-pharmacological anxiolysis -vegas style
Facilitator:
Dr Michael Goldblatt
Date/time:
Sunday May 3, 2015
SGD09
3.30-5pm
How many times have you heard …”I’m needle phobic?” or had
patients demand general anaesthesia to cope with MRI. Even more
dramatic are the patients who are so scared they abscond from
the hospital before their surgery! Whilst we are all experts in the
pharmacological management of these extreme behavior there are
times when patients can be managed quickly and effectively using
non pharmacological techniques such as hypnosis.
This SGD will provide a brief introduction to hypnosis and how it
can be used during our daily work to relieve anxiety and stress,
remove phobias and make lifestyle modifications that make
anaesthesia and surgery safer e.g. stop smoking.

Iron shield: patient blood management in action
Facilitator:
Dr Bernd Froessler
Date/time:
Tuesday May 5, 2015
SGD10
1.30-2.30pm
Patient blood management (PBM) is a patient-focused approach to
improving patient outcomes by minimising or avoiding unnecessary
exposure to blood components. Optimisation and maintaining the
patient’s own red cell mass is crucial. Preoperative screening of iron
status, with timely and adequate treatment modalities is a valuable
part of the concept. Utilising appropriate alternatives to blood
transfusion is cost-effective, complies with clinical governance
requirements, and falls within the scope of the National Safety and
Quality Health Service Standard 7 Blood and Blood Products.
Dr Bernd Froessler is a staff specialist in anaesthesia at the Lyell
McEwin Hospital in Adelaide and a clinical senior lecturer at the
University of Adelaide. Bernd was born in Germany and completed

Where neurologist and anaesthetist may clash:
anaesthesia for acute stroke
Facilitator:
Dr Shona Osborn
Date/time:
Sunday May 3, 2015
SGD12
3.30-4.30pm
Increasing numbers of patients suffering an acute ischaemic
stroke who fail thrombolysis are taken to the angiography suite for
endovascular therapy. The impact of general anaesthesia versus
minimal sedation on patient outcomes after such endovascular
therapy has been greatly debated among neurologists, but the riskbenefit balance may be less familiar to anaesthetists, particularly
those who rarely undertake such cases. Using a case-based format,
this SGD will examine the issues involved. Participants will be
encouraged to discuss their own experiences. The SGD will also
cover the anaesthetic management for non-cardiac surgery of
patients who are at particularly high risk of stroke, and review cases
where perioperative stroke has occurred.

What is the anaesthetists’ modus operandi in cancer surgery, with
its major nociceptive input and a high risk of nerve damage? We
want something that is effective, opioid sparing and have little
effects on major organ systems. We also want our patients to leave
the hospital as soon as possible. On a bigger picture, we want to
reduce our patients’ risk of developing persistent post-surgical pain
and even have improved cancer recurrence-free survival. Is it all
too much to ask? What is the evidence?

Navigating the ethics committee
Facilitator:
Dr Tim Porter
Date/time:
Saturday May 2, 2015
SGD25
3.30-4.30pm
This SGD will address the issues of why we have ethics
committees, what they do, and most importantly, how to ensure
that research proposals get through the relevant committee
as quickly and happily as possible. In particular, it will focus on
common holdups in ethics reviews.
Dr Tim Porter is a staff specialist anaesthetist at Flinders Medical
Centre, has a Masters degree in Bioethics and is a deputy chair of

Ethical legal consent
Facilitator:
Dr Bernadette Richards
Date/time:
Tuesday May 5, 2015
SGD26
1.30-3pm
Consent to medical treatment is the subject of much debate,
discussion and disagreement. At its base is the foundational
right to determine what is or is not done to our own body, but
it is not always straightforward to put into practice. Patients are
by definition unwell, their cognitive processes impaired by pain
or their illness. They have come to the hospital for a cure but
this may not be possible. Often it is said that a patient will be
‘consented’ as though it is a process, something that is either
done to or extracted from the patient. There are many layers to
the consent conversation and this session will present scenarios in
which the process of consent is opaque, it will involve a practical
consideration of the legal and ethical foundations of consent and
provide the opportunity to talk through the concerns that arise
when the consent process is not straightforward.
Dr Bernadette Richards comes from the Law School at the
University of Adelaide and is an active researcher in the areas
of Tort Law, Medical Law, and Bioethics. She has written a text
book on Tort Law (Tort Law Principles,) has contributed to a

SGD STREAM: EDUCATION AND WELFARE
Asleep at the wheel
Facilitator:
Dr Simon Jenkins and Dr Matthew Thomas
Date/time:
Tuesday May 5, 2015
SGD27
9-10am
An investigation has been initiated into a sentinel event in a
hospital in your area where a patient died after a cardiac arrest
during a cholecystectomy. You have been given the task of
investigating the circumstances around the event. Initial reports
suggest the anaesthetist failed to detect subtle deterioration of
the patient during the procedure.
In this interactive session, we will lead you through the
investigation as more detailed information comes to light. We
will explore the relationship between fatigue and error, the
implications for those involved at all levels of the health service
with respect to roles and responsibility. The session will provide
participants with an overview of best practice in terms of fatigue
risk management.

Monsters in the mind
Facilitator:
Dr Michael Goldblatt
Date/time:
Monday May 4, 2015
SGD28
3.30-5pm
Remember as a child when you were frightened of monsters
hiding under your bed or in your bedroom cupboard? As an adult
many of us experience the same fear and anxiety when faced
with examinations, assessments of our performance in the work
place or when having to give presentations to our colleagues.
Whilst some degree of stress is required to achieve, there are
situations where the increased stress and anxiety will detract from
your performance. Hypnosis and Neurolinguistic programming
(NLP) are well documented as techniques to help change how
you feel in these situations. This SGD will demonstrate how you
can simply use hypnotic techniques to reduce anxiety and stress
and improve your performance where it counts-exams, vivas, and
presentations-regaining control of these monsters which lurk in
your mind!
Dr Michael Goldblatt completed his primary medical degree
at the Flinders University of South Australia. He completed his
anaesthetic fellowship in 1999 after training in South Australia and
Queensland. His experience included being the anaesthetist for a
flying obstetric service in rural Queensland as well as subspecialty
training in aeromedical medicine, paediatrics and cardiothoracic
anaesthesia. As a result of seeing the successful use of hypnosis
to resolve his daughter’s fear of flying (in one 45 minute drug
free session), he trained in hypnosis and was awarded a Diploma
of Clinical Hypnosis. He currently holds a half time position as a
staff specialist at Flinders Medical Centre in the department of
anaesthesia as well as working half time in private practice with

The expert trap
Facilitator:
Dr Dave Sainsbury
Date/time:
Monday May 4, 2015
SGD33
10.30-11.30am
“The expert trap” centers on issues of unconscious bias in
recognition-primed decision making. This is generally a valuable
cognitive shortcut to free up the scarce but unique resources of
working memory. It is important to recognise this shortcut as a
potential source of error, exemplified by task fixation, myside bias,
confirmation bias, accessibility bias etc. There are many implications
for quality and safety in health care delivery, from premature closure
in the diagnostic process to the impact of ageing in clinical practice.

Acute neuropathic pain
Facilitator:
Associate Professor David Scott
Date/time:
Sunday May 3, 2015
SGD47
1.30-2.30pm
Acute neuropathic pain is increasingly recognised as a component
of early acute pain following surgery. Acute neuropathic pain
needs to be recognised and treated as a specific entity to ensure
optimal patient outcomes.The conventional treatment of acute
postoperative pain often fails to address this, resulting in suffering
and distress which may in fact be preventable and lead to longer
term pain. During this small group discussion we will explore some
of these issues from a practical point of view.
Associate Professor David Scott is the Director of the Department
of Anaesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine at St. Vincent’s Hospital
in Melbourne. He was head of the Acute Pain Service for almost
20 years. He has a PhD in neuropharmacology and is interested in

TRAUMA SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP AND THE ANAESTHESIA AND CRITICAL CARE
IN UNUSUAL AND TRANSPORT ENVIRONMENTS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP:
ASM SATELLITE MEETING
Circulation in Trauma – from Injury to ICU
Date: Friday May 1, 2015
Venue: The Playford, Adelaide
The Trauma Special Interest Group (SIG) comprising of
anaesthetists who have an interest in trauma and in
particular anaesthesia in trauma, who are keen to share
their expertise and interest with other anaesthetists. Their
goal is to help the majority of other anaesthetists who
are “occasional” trauma anaesthetists, usually by being
on call when trauma patients arrive in hospitals. Trauma
patients present some of the most difficult and challenging
anaesthetics and they also often occur at unsociable hours
when other help is not around.
The Anaesthesia and Critical Care in Unusual and Transport
Environments (ACCUTE) Special Interest Group (SIG) is
a group of anaesthetists who work in the “extremes”
of anaesthesia. Trauma patients represent a significant
part of their work, one of their goals is to educate other
anaesthetists who occasionally find themselves dealing
with patients in these situations.
36
This meeting is the second one day seminar organised
collaborately by the two SIG’s and the plan is to explore
circulation issues from the point of injury until the patient
is in ICU. As such there will be a mixture of concept
lectures, short, sharp “how I do it” masterclass talks and
debates as well as breakout sessions.
The speakers and workshop leaders are being drawn from
leading trauma institutions in Australia and New Zealand.

How to book accommodation
Please indicate your preference (1, 2 & 3) in appropriate box. As there are limited rooms available at each hotel, it is important that you book early.
Accommodation will be allocated strictly in order of receipt of registration and payment. Visit the ASM website www.asm.anzca.edu.au to view hotel
information and cancellation policies. The special room rate quoted is only valid for reservations made through the ASM Registration Secretariat,
WaldronSmith Management, on or before April 4, 2015. WaldronSmith Management has an obligation to return all the unsold rooms to the hotels after April
4, 2015. Therefore room availability and special rates for reservations made after that date cannot be guaranteed. The above hotel rates are only valid during
the conference period for delegates attending ASM 2015. All bookings for days outside the meeting period will be subject to availability.
Terminology
“Double” refers to a room with one double bed. “Single” refers to a single occupancy room. Accommodation rates are for room only and do not include
breakfast, unless stated otherwise.
Payment of accommodation
Payment is in Australian dollars. If paying deposit by credit card, the ASM Secretariat will forward your credit card details to the hotel to reserve your room(s).
Please be aware that the hotel may hold your credit card details as security for the booking, and may choose not to debit your card with the payment until
time of check-out. The balance of your accommodation account and any incidental charges must be paid in full, directly to the hotel, on departure. The above
room rates are inclusive of 10% GST.
Change of booking
Any change to a reservation must be made in writing to the ASM Secretariat and not directly to the hotel.
Early arrival or late
Check in time for the ASM hotels are from 2pm. Please advise the ASM Secretariat in writing if you will be arriving before this time as you may be required to
book the previous night to guarantee immediate access to your room. Please also advise the ASM Secretariat in writing if you will arrive at your hotel after
6pm to avoid your room being released.
Deadlines
The ASM hotels impose strict release dates of 30 days prior to arrival: therefore any bookings made after April 4, 2015 will be subject to availability.
