Budapest, Hungary

With the wide Danube river winding through its center, Budapest is one of Europe's most stunning skylines, boasting its share of old-world charm and fabulous architecture along both the Buda and Pest sides of the river. Budapest can justly claim to be one of Europe's most attractive urban destinations. Roman, Gothic and Turkish styles make this antique city an architectural dream.

Check out Fisherman’s Bastion, a castle wall with the best views of the city. It consists of seven towers, representing the seven clan leaders who brought the Hungarian people to settle in their new homeland. Next, visit the gorgeous St. Stephen's Basilica, adorned inside and out with stone ornamentation, gilded arches, marble, frescos and more. The fascinating neo-gothic Hungarian Parliament on the bank of the Danube River is inarguably one of the most beautiful parliamentary buildings in Europe.

Foodies rejoice! Budapest's food history spans centuries and includes a long tradition of amazing farmers markets full of fruits, veggies, and pastries. Take a break to enjoy a local delicacy, kurtos kalacs (or Chimney Cakes), a once seasonal treat turned everyday market favorite. Over 100 years old, The Great Market Hall is the biggest market in Budapest. Frequented by tourists and locals alike, you’ll find nearly anything you want on its three impressive levels.

PROGRAM PURPOSE

The practitioner of anesthesiology must possess the scientific background for clinical practice; maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of not only the specialty, but also of all additional related disciplines which may impact it; maintain an up-to-the-minute armamentarium of knowledge and skills for the selection and use of complex equipment, pharmacological agents, and procedures necessary for the provision of quality patient care; manage self and colleagues to function toward common goals in the clinical setting, the clinical and educational institutions, and the community in which the practice resides; serve as an expert in matters involving health care delivery; serve as an informed manager of clinical and educational services provided, including the acquisition and distribution of resources necessary in meeting professional goals; and provide assistance with and support of other service providers, departments, institutions, and organizations dependent upon the professional expertise of the practitioner. Presentations are designed to facilitate the healthcare provider in reviewing, updating, and/or expanding knowledge and abilities in one or more of these areas vital to the practicing professional.

OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

Apply the pertinent physical and behavioral sciences - to include but not be limited to advanced anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and social sciences - as they impact and are affected by the planning, delivery, and monitoring of anesthesia and related services inherent in the anesthesia professions.

Explain the selection, dosing considerations with methods of administration, safe use, and contraindications and precautions of presented pharmacological agents through the understanding of their physico-chemical properties, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, updated uses, and more recently developed additional, related, and similar drugs.

Outline comprehensive management plans for the group of patients discussed, whether related in age, physical status, cultural background, invasive procedure, anesthetic or analgesic requirements, clinical setting, adverse reactions, and/or goals of care.

Apply the principles of safety and asepsis in the performance of anesthetic procedures and administrations, equipment use, and other applications encountered during the provision of anesthesia and analgesia whether in the surgical unit, the labor and delivery suite, the pain management clinic, or other more remote location of anesthetizing services.

Incorporate the appropriate recommendations and/or requirements of pertinent external organizations, institutions, and professional groups - recognized as serving as the authority for and/or holding the responsibility to compile and approve such tenets - in the provision of anesthesia and related services, whether medical, legal, philosophical, ethical, or health care management standards.
