Society of Neurosurgical Anesthesia and Critical Care Annual Meeting. San Francisco, California, October 10, 2003
An important function of the Annual Meeting is to provide a forum in which research performed by SNACC members can be presented and critically appraised. This year's meeting was of particular success in this regard. A large number of abstracts were presented during the meeting. The topics ranged from cerebral ischemia/molecular biology to clinical neuroscience/critical care. Discussion of the abstracts, presented in posters, was facilitated by recognized experts in various fields of neurosciences and neuroanesthesia. This served to provide expert feedback, particularly to investigators who are in the earlier stages of their career. Abstracts of the scientific papers are published in the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology (2003; 15:350- 87). The Annual Meeting concluded after a wine and cheese reception. The Society will reconvene at the 2004 Annual Meeting on October 22, 2004, in Las Vegas, Nevada. We encourage members of SNACC and all those with an interest in neurosciences to attend what will undoubtedly be a very successful meeting.
