This course has previously been conducted at AIIMS, New Delhi and has been quite popular among the young doctors dealing with neurological/ neurosurgical emergencies. The AIIMS Neuroanaesthesia Update, after its first successful launch in 2013, has become a regular event and is being organised for the 5th consecutive year. Like previous years, it has been designed to provide an innovative, up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the latest research and developments in the field of Neuroanaesthesiology and Neurocritical Care. This year the scientific programme includes live-demonstrations of important anaesthetic procedures from the operating room, workshop on transcranial Doppler, micro-dialysis and neurophysiological monitoring, guest lectures, panel discussion, interactive case discussions, pros and cons debate and video session on important anaesthesia and monitoring techniques. Also, there will be Quiz and e-poster session for the residents. Besides all this, ‘AIIMS Neurological life support’ course will be conducted along with this event that has been designed to teach a protocol based approach to a neurosurgical or neurological emergency during the initial hours which is the most critical (golden) hour in the management of these patients and has a major impact on outcome. New Delhi, the capital of India, has a pleasant weather in October, which is also a festive month and the city is all set to celebrate. Many distinguished neuroanaesthesiologists and neurointensivists from various parts of India and abroad will gather to take part in this event.
