he ASA Committee on Practice Parameters has appointed
a Task Force on Intraoperative Awareness and Brain
Function Monitoring to develop a practice parameter
to assist anesthesiologists and other health care
providers on this important issue. To facilitate
the development of this practice parameter, the
task force is conducting a structured open forum
for Association of University Anesthesiologists
(AUA) and ASA members to be held at the AUA 2005
Annual Meeting on Friday, May 6, 2005, from 6 a.m.
to 8 a.m. at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel
in Baltimore, Maryland.
The purpose of the open forum is to provide an opportunity
for attendees to present oral and written testimony
on the content and impact of this parameter. In
particular the task force seeks testimony on clinical
issues, resources and feasibility.
The open forum will consist of a slide presentation
by members of the task force; during the slide presentation,
there will be several structured time-limited opportunities
for questions or comments related to the presented
material.
