Neuroanaesthesia
Objective
The Neuroanaesthesia Special Interest Group exists to foster interest in matters relating to the perioperative care and anaesthesia of patients with intracranial and spinal pathology. This includes the application of basic and translational science relevant to clinical anaesthesia. Most of this activity revolves around the NeuroSIG sessions at the ANZCA annual scientific meetings and Australian Society of Anaesthetists/New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists meetings. There is a three-day biennial NeuroSIG meeting that alternates between venues in Australia and New Zealand.
The SIG has elected representatives from each Australian state and one each from New Zealand and Hong Kong. They are available as a conduit for discussion of topics relevant to neuroanaesthesia for the ANZCA executive and any ANZCA Fellow or trainee.
Activities
The Neuro SIG session and annual general meeting was held at the ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting in Perth in May.
Events
The next Neuroanaesthesia SIG Meeting is planned for late 2013 in New Zealand. Further details will be available closer to the date.
