    Abstract COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China and is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV 2. It has now spread rapidly to over 190 countries and territories around the world and has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The virus is spread through droplet transmission and currently has a mortality rate of over 4% globally. The pediatric population has been found to be less susceptible to the disease with the majority of children having milder symptoms and only one pediatric death being reported globally so far. Despite this, strategies need to be put in place to prevent further spread of the virus. We present a summary of the general measures implemented at a large adult and pediatric tertiary hospital in Singapore (National University Hospital) as well as the specific strategies in place for the operating room and pediatric intensive care unit.

    Abstract Introduction: Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare form of pulmonary hypertension. It is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Inappropriate treatment may cause worsening of symptoms which may lead to fatal outcomes. Anesthetic considerations and management for pulmonary hypertension are well described, but few anesthesiologists are aware of the entity of PVOD and its management.
    Patient concerns: We report a case of PVOD in a 73-year-old female who was on concurrent aspirin and anagrelide, requiring emergent open femoral hernia repair.
    Diagnosis: PVOD and incarcerated femoral hernia INTERVENTION:: Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) was performed to enable the surgery.
    Outcome: Surgery was completed successfully under central neuraxial anesthesia and the patient remained stable and comfortable throughout, avoiding the need for general anesthesia. Due to the concurrent aspirin and anagrelide therapy, significant bleeding from the CSE puncture site was observed immediately post-operatively. This was resolved with external manual compression and withholding the aspirin and anagrelide. Patient remained well without neurological deficit and was discharged postoperative day seven.
    Lessons: It is important to differentiate PVOD from PAH due to the controversial use of pulmonary vasodilators in PVOD. Pulmonary vasodilator is commonly used to treat acute pulmonary hypertension in PAH but its usage may lead to pulmonary edema in patients with PVOD. Hence, with no ideal treatment available, the avoidance of general anesthesia is crucial to prevent acute pulmonary hypertensive crisis in patient with PVOD. However, this needs to be weighed against the elevated risk of central neuraxial bleeding when performing a CSE in a patient on concurrent aspirin and anagrelide therapy. Calculated decision-making considering the risks and benefits of all alternatives should be carried out in such a scenario, and measures should be taken in anticipation of the potential consequences of the eventual decision.
    Conclusion: It is important to differentiate PVOD from PAH. PVOD has unique anesthetic considerations due to the controversial use of pulmonary vasodilators. This case also emphasizes the importance of active anticipation of potential issues and adequate follow up.

    Abstract Objective: Performing a basic perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) requires 3-dimensional knowledge of cardiac anatomy, psychomotor skills, and image interpretation. Commonly, lectures followed by simulation sequence is used for teaching TEE. Differences may occur among learners when this sequencing of instructional components is altered. The authors investigated the ideal sequence of lectures and simulation in teaching basic perioperative TEE.
    Design: Prospective randomized comparative study.
    Setting: Simulation room in a large academy tertiary care center.
    Participants: Noncardiac anesthesiologists in Singapore with no prior knowledge of TEE.
    Intervention: Comparison of acquisition and retention of knowledge and skills between the lecture followed by simulation group (LS) and the simulation followed by lecture (SL) group.
    Measurements and main results: Knowledge was assessed using multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and skills using a skill test. The primary outcome measured was the MCQ scores (post-course and retest) and the skill test scores (post-course and retest). Of the 43 anesthesiologists who were recruited, 22 were randomized into the LS group and 21 to the SL group. All participants took pre-course and post-course MCQs and post-course skill tests. Post-tests were repeated 1 month after the course to assess retention. There was no significant difference in the post-course MCQ (85.87% v 81.82%) and skill test scores (85.78% v 81.55%) between the SL and LS groups, respectively. The SL group demonstrated significantly better retention of knowledge at 1 month (MCQ score 83.5% v 72.73%; p = 0.003) and skills (skill test score 85.32% v 1.90%; p = 0.016) than the other.
    Conclusion: This study showed that, for retention (at 1 month) of both knowledge and skills, it is preferable to teach practical skills followed by theoretical knowledge to anesthesiologists who are complete novices to TEE.

    Abstract Using three-dimensional printing, we produced adaptors to attach a smartphone with camera to the eyepiece of the Airtraq(®) laryngoscope. This low-cost system enabled a team to simultaneously view the laryngoscopy process on the smartphone screen, and also enabled image transmission. We compared the Airtraq(®) with the smartphone Airtraq(®) system in a crossover study of trainee anesthesiologists performing tracheal intubation in a manikin. We also evaluated the smartphone Airtraq(®) system for laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in 30 patients, including image transmission to and communication with a remote instructor. In the manikin study, the smartphone Airtraq(®) system enabled instruction where both trainee and instructor could view the larynx simultaneously, and did not substantially increase the time required for intubation. In the patient study, we were able to view the larynx in all 30 patients, and the remote instructor was able to receive the images and to respond on correctness of laryngoscopy and tracheal tube placement. Tracheal intubation was successful within 90s in 19 (63 %) patients. In conclusion, use of a smartphone with the Airtraq(®) may facilitate instruction and communication of laryngoscopy with the Airtraq(®), overcoming some of its limitations.
