Target Audience
This activity is designed for anesthesiologists, anesthesiologists-in-training, anesthesia investigators, and allied health professionals who conduct research, practice, or intend to practice in any area of general anesthesia, subspecialty anesthesia, or pain management.

Disclosures
The IARS makes every effort to develop CME activities that are independent, objective, scientifically balanced presentations of information. The IARS has implemented mechanisms requiring everyone in a position to control content to disclose all relevant financial relationships with commercial interests. Disclosure of any or no relationships is made available in advance of all educational activities.

The IARS evaluates the disclosures and, if necessary, resolves any conflicts of interest prior to the start of the activity. Individuals who refuse or fail to provide the required disclosures are disqualified from being a planning committee member, teacher, or author of CME, and cannot have control of, or responsibility for, the development, management, presentation or evaluation of the CME activity.

Ana Fernandez-Bustamante, MD, PhD, speaker for this educational event, has received funded award titled “A double-blind, randomized, parallel study to compare the efficacy of sugammadex versus neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade at the end of kidney transplantation surgery in patients with severe kidney dysfunction” from a Merck investigator-initiated sponsored project.

Ashish Khanna, MD, FCCP, FCCM, speaker for this educational event, has received consulting fees from Edwards Lifesciences, Retia Medical, and Medtronic; and is an advisory board member with monetary and/or other compensation (e.g., travel expenses) from Retia Medical. 

All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.

The remaining planners, speakers, and others in a position to control content of this activity have disclosed no relevant financial relationships and have no conflicts of interest.

The information provided in this CME activity is for continuing education purposes only and is not meant to substitute for the independent medical judgment of a healthcare provider relative to diagnostic and treatment options of a specific patient’s medical condition.
