ePoster Presentation: Cost-effectiveness of Bispectral Index Monitoring for Postoperative Delirium Across U.S. Hospitals
Date: Saturday, Oct. 17
Time: 10:15–11:15 a.m. PDT
Location: Exhibit Hall, Monitor 26
Presenters:
Vanessa Moll, MD, PhD, FASA
University of Minnesota
Victor O. Onyi, MD, MS
Medtronic
Thomas S. Valley, MD, MSc, ATSF
Description: Evidence of pigmentation-related bias has challenged long-held assumptions about pulse oximetry performance. Dr. Thomas Valley will explore how skin pigmentation can influence SpO₂ measurement, what that means for clinicians making decisions around oxygenation, and how emerging approaches to evaluating differential bias, including new controlled-desaturation data, are helping define expectations for the next generation of pulse oximetry.
Join us at our 2026 ASA symposia
The Great VL Debate: Training, Awake Intubation, Blade Selection, and the Challenge of Blood & Secretions
Date: Saturday, Oct. 17
Time: 12 - 1:00 p.m. PDT
Location: Convention Center, Room 4
Panelists:
- Basem Abdelmalak, MD, FASA, SAMBA-F | Cleveland Clinic
- Sabry Ayad, MD, MBA, FASA | Cleveland Clinic
- Caoimhe Duffy, MD, MSc, FCAI | Penn Medicine
- Daniel Katz, MD | Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC
- Paul Mountford, PhD | Medtronic (Moderator)
Description: This interactive debate session will examine the controversies surrounding the expanding role of video laryngoscopy (VL) and whether its widespread adoption should reshape modern airway management. Expert faculty will debate key questions related to VL in education, awake intubation, blade selection, and airway management in the presence of blood and secretions. Lunch will be served.
Two Windows into the Brain: pEEG and Cerebral Oximetry for the Sedated or Anesthetized Patient
Date: Sunday, Oct. 18
Time: 9:15 - 10:15 a.m. PDT
Location: Room 2, Upper Level
Speaker:
- Christian Guay, MD, MS | University of Utah Health
Description: This presentation highlights how processed EEG (pEEG) and cerebral oximetry can be used together to support individualized patient care in the OR and ICU. Attendees will learn to recognize key EEG patterns associated with sedation and anesthesia, identify concerning neurologic findings, and use cerebral oxygenation data to evaluate potential causes of abnormal brain activity. Practical cases will demonstrate how integrating these monitoring tools can inform bedside decision-making and optimize patient management. Coffee and snack will be served. Co-sponsored with Mindray.
Advancing Pulse Oximetry: Innovation, Performance, and Equity
Date: Sunday, Oct. 18
Time: 12 - 1:00 p.m. PDT
Location: Room 3, Upper Level, West Terrace
Panelists:
- Randy Clark, MD, FASA | (Moderator)
- Hugh Cassiere, MD, FACP, FCCP | Northwell Health
- Chawla Latoya Mason, MD | University of Mississippi Health
- Ashley P. Oliver, MD, MA | UCLA Health
Description: Explore how perioperative conditions influence pulse oximetry performance and clinical decisions, and how technology equity, evolving standards, rigorous verification, and innovation are advancing pulse oximetry. Lunch will be served.
