Event Overview
Welcome message:

Dear Colleague,

Geneva, the most international city in Europe, will be host to the 2013 Annual Congress of the European Society for Paediatric Anaesthesiology (ESPA) to be held jointly for the first time with the American Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA). This is a great opportunity to meet, share and learn from internationally known keynote speakers and experts during a variety of sessions including plenary lectures, panel discussions, interactive sessions, workshops, case based discussions and also at formal and informal networking events.

The programme is focused on improving the quality and safety of anaesthetic services for children and for the first time, TIVA for Tots and congenital cardiac anaesthesia satellite meetings will be part of the three-day congress. Together with our host society, the Swiss Society for Paediatric Anaesthesia (SGKA/SSAP), we are organizing an outstanding congress that meets the needs and interests of both the specialist paediatric anaesthesiologist and the generalist.

Not to be missed will be the wide choice of amazing social events such as a wine-cycling tour and rewarding excursions to Mont-Blanc, or the 27-kilometre particle accelerator at CERN.

With its humanitarian traditions and cosmopolitan flair, the European seat of the United Nations and world headquarters of the Red Cross, Geneva, ‘capital of peace’ welcomes you in September 2013 for what promises to be a very special ESPA congress!

Scientific Content Up to Date
Submission Info

Three types of presentations are foreseen: 

Oral presentations 
The ten best abstracts as judged by ESPA will be presented as oral presentations in the main auditorium. They will be organized as chaired 9 minutes presentations: 6 minutes slide presentation and 3 minutes discussion. The oral presentations are eligible for the ESPA Best Free Paper Award.

Poster presentations 
There will be no poster boards available at this Meeting. Posters will be presented electronically via 5 large plasma screen televisions in the Exhibition Area. Each poster will be displayed for two full days on a designated screen, arranged by topic. The scientific committee will be honoring the best poster presentations with the Best Poster Award.

Case based discussions
Case-based discussions are a useful and highly interactive feature of recent ESPA congresses in which clinical problems are discussed. Abstracts will be presented as an anonymous case-presentation of 10 minutes, focused on specific topics and problems. Following each presentation the audience will be invited to comment in a highly interactive and dynamic session. The primary aim of these case discussions is for audience and presenters to see what they can learn from each case. This is a first-rate opportunity to discuss daily problems with your colleagues, for which you cannot find clear answers in the literature.
