Аннотация:The fifth biennial Congress of the Asian Society for Neuroanaesthesia and Critical Care (ASNACC) was held in Singapore, in conjunction with the 20th Annual General Scientific Meeting (GSM) of the Singapore Society of Anesthesiologists (SSA) during August 17 to 19, 2017, which was held at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, located adjacent to the historic Singapore River. The biennial ASNACC Congress, Asia’s leading conference on neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care, provides a common platform for thought leaders across diverse Asian countries to collaborate on improving care for the neurosurgical and neurological patient population. The Congress has previously been held in Beijing, China (2009); New Delhi, India (2011); Bali, Indonesia (2013); and Busan, South Korea (2015). This year, the fifth Congress edition took place in dynamic and progressive, compact yet cosmopolitan Singapore and featured eminent speakers from across Asia, as well as other distinguished international speakers including Prof. Andrew Kofke (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) and Prof. Adrian Gelb (University of California, San Francisco, California, United States). Leveraging on the apt theme “A Meeting of Minds,” the scientific program consisted of a series of insightful plenary sessions, lectures, and panel discussions as well as a precongress neuromonitoring workshop to explore the challenging field of neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care.
