The night is full of terrors: Balrogs, Vampires... and even double lumen tubes. If you'd like to learn to extinguish flaming beasts with little more than a pinch of SodaBic and a thimble of vinegar, stake an Undead Heart with little more than a shoelace and a rusty paperclip, or insert a DLT through a sea of snot, then join us for "Thoracic Anaesthesia for the Occasional Thoracic Anaesthetist: Demystifying the Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube and Other Horrors." Go home with a goody bag of tips and tricks to ease your passage through those terrifying VATS pleurodeses, decortications and biopsies. Featuring Bonus material: How To Train Your Thoracic Surgeon.

In all medical specialties there are moments of stress or trauma that require a response. How we respond in these times of need can make an immense difference in the way we process and build upon these experiences. The Acute Incident Response (AIR) program provides usable tools that can support anyone wishing to refine their responses to traumatic events in the workplace. This session will discuss the theory and practical application of the tools from a variety of clinical backgrounds.
