The event will focus on the safe and appropriate use of regional anaesthesia techniques for emergency patients as part of a multimodal analgesia strategy. It is estimated that up to 80% of emergency patients suffer from severe pain, yet pain is not always properly assessed or adequately controlled. Time pressure, prioritisation of life-threatening conditions, and potential concerns about the side effects of regional techniques often hinder optimal pain management. Today, pain control in emergency departments, operating theatres, and intensive care units has become an increasingly important topic.

Key questions remain in emergency situations:

• Are opioids still the best treatment option for acute pain?
• Are regional blocks truly safe in emergency situations?
• Which techniques and local anaesthetics are most appropriate?
• Who should perform regional blocks and when?
• How can we shorten onset time and prolong block duration?

This two-day program offers a unique educational experience. The first day features exclusive pre-conference workshops held in the operating theatre, including live practical demonstrations on patients and hands-on sessions on training models. The second day will be dedicated to theoretical lectures, scientific exchange, and comprehensive education focused on the role of regional anaesthesia in emergency medicine.
You are warmly welcome – emergency doctors, anaesthesiologists and intensive care specialists, surgeons, residents, nurses, physician assistants, medical students and others because together we can achieve more by providing safe and effective regional analgesia.

Nowadays pain management is one of the top priorities in modern emergency medicine. Effective and individualized pain control is a significant part of an individual approach tailored to the patient’s needs starting already in an emergency department. Although, regional analgesia and anesthesia is a main cornerstone in pain management which allows precise and effective elimination of the source of pain in the gentlest way to improve patient experience and outcome, it is not often applied in acute situations still. Therefore, I would like to encourage that available technologies and qualification of our medical staff can make it possible already today!
