This is a section of the WFSA website that contains Update and the
Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week. These are the creation of the WFSA
Publications Committee. In addition there are links to other useful
anaesthesia education websites around the world.
Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week is a weekly web-based tutorial run
by the WFSA. Our aim is to support anaesthesia training, particularly
in the developing world where access to anaesthesia education is often
limited. Anyone however, is welcome to use our materials.
Update in Anaesthesia is the official education journal of the WFSA.
First published in 1992, the original aim of this journal was to
provide clear, concise and clinically-relevant overview articles to be
read by anaesthetists working in all manner of situations around the
world with limited resources. A particular emphasis has been to provide
ongoing learning and support for anaesthetists practicing in countries
where facilities for clinical practice and educational development are
scarce.
Update is sent free-of-charge to over 3000 English-speaking
anaesthetists, and read by many others including surgeons, nurses and
medical students. Our feedback shows that Update is a widely-used
resource in both developing and well-resourced settings. Update is also
translated into Russian and Mandarin, and Spanish, French, Portuguese
and Persian editions are underway. Update has always been available via
the internet for free download, both as full editions and as individual
articles and the editorial board are delighted that availability of
this resource will be broadened further with the opening of this new
section of the WFSA website.
European Virtual Anaesthesia (EVA) is a website for e-learning
developed with the support of GE Healthcare and the cooperation of the
Lille University. It is free of access for all anaesthesiologists
wishing to update their knowledge in any field of anaesthetic practice.
This offers 26 free simulations of anaesthesia-related activities
from the alveolar gas equation to the Virtual Anesthesia Machine (VAM)
This is a course for the learning of obstetric analgesia. The
information offered in this website is intended primarily for
anesthesiologists and trainees in anesthesia. The course, lead by a
well renowned International faculty, consists of half hour lessons
which include voice assisted slides, text, a question/answer forum and
a self-assessment questionnaire. At the completion of the course you
will have the most up-to-date information and techniques dealing with
labor analgesia. You will also be introduced to clinically relevant
facts and the most recent topics including evidence-based medicine and
pharmacogenetics in obstetric anesthesia.
