APSF Booth at ASA
Celebration of Anesthesia Simulators will be the theme for the
Patient Safety Booth in the exhibit hall at the 1997 ASA Annual Meeting,
October 19-22 in San Diego. This year, the booth will feature live
simulator demonstrations with realistic anesthesia mannequins and
operating room scenarios, as well as a variety of computer-based
simulator and educational programs. This patient safety booth will also
provide Internet access to electronic patient safety resources that can
be found on the World Wide Web.
In addition, there will be the usual wide selection of educational
pamphlets and printed reports. Similarly, there will be again an
opportunity to view recent ASA safety videotapes with an enlarged and
improved viewing area.
The Patient Safety Booth is a joint project of the Anesthesia Patient
Safety Foundation and the ASA Committee on Patient Safety, Risk
Management and Epidemiology. Visitors to the booth will be able to meet
with members of both groups to discuss any issues of interest.
