Highlights of previous edition
2021
Despite the uncertain context, we delivered a second edition of the European Perioperative Intensive Care Curriculum Master Class, this time virtually! A total of 19 experts and 61 participants from 28 countries engaged in interactive activities and case-based discussions.
Here are some of their comments on this innovative educational format:
- Really enjoyed the exchange of ideas and experiences, with experts and participants from various countries and specialities.
- These 2 days give food to thoughts about organizing dedicated care, aids to stratify risks and determine the needed level of postoperative intermediate/intensive postoperative care.
- The online master class made it possible for many of us to participate. It was an amazing experience. The workshop rotations were very nice, made us participate and the exchange of knowledge from different realities was great!

- I learned to better stratify the risks, the best and quickest perioperative pathways, how to improve my communication with the patients, family and colleagues, implement protocols for different situations and get the whole team together
- Better perioperative risk stratification, share knowledge with colleagues at home, try and implement better care for our patients
- Implement frailty score before effective surgery
- To implement a new fasting regime to change fasting protocol in my hospital
- Treat post-op delirium with respect
- Follow up, do patient quality assessments
