Exhibits and Non-CME Event
Welcome to the AACD Virtual Exhibit Hall
My name is Dr. Michael Smith and it has been my pleasure to serve as the President of the AACD for the past three years. Over this time, we have seen our organization grow and evolve. These are exciting times and there are a number of companies that will provide you the tools to improve patient care and efficiency.

―The AACD’s goal is to provide the best possible educational experience for
individuals who are passionate about managing operating rooms and
operating room schedules.‖

These companies are invited to present their products and
services to our attendees because each company has a critical
product or service that may be very useful to an OR Director.

AACD President’s Notes: This is the area where you find my personal comments
about the companies, products and services that are available to OR Directors.
Using many of these products personally, I am willing to state an opinion. Other
products or services come highly recommended by colleagues.
Vein illumination helps practitioners locate veins for medi-cal procedures from blood draw to IV starts. The AccuVein AV300 is the first vein visualization device that is portable and non-contact. Simply point the device at an area of the skin and click to display the peripheral veins beneath.

AACD President’s Notes: Excellent product that I use virtually every day when
on call. Locates difficult to find veins on known difficult IV stick patients.
New Ambu® aScope™ is a unique flexible intubation scope for viewing endotracheal intubation via the oral and nasal route. The product is sterile and single patient use. Ambu® aScope™ uses new camera technology, has a lightweight ergonomic handle, and – thanks to its single patient design – it virtually eliminates any risk of cross infection and makes repairs and cleaning completely un-necessary. A reusable screen – Ambu® aScope™ Monitor – is used for displaying the video signal from the Ambu® aScope™. The aScope adds new possibilities to the field of anaesthesia and takes single patient use to a higher level of sophistication and practicali-ty

AACD President’s Notes: The aScope has the possibility of providing a flexible
videoscope capability for offsite areas such as the outpatient surgery center or
in the OB operating rooms. May even be used to make a fiberoptic scope
available to the main ORs when it replaces a very infrequently used one offsite.

improving preop processes and perhaps even saving money. Definitely worth

www.LMANA.com LMA™ brings you the airway solution for Monitored Anes-thesia Care (MAC) with the JED™ - Jaw Elevation Device from Hypnoz Therapeutic Devices, Inc. This new hands-free solution helps clinicians maintain an open airway dur-ing any procedure in which a patient is sedated and the airway may be compromised. The JED™ assists the clini-cians in performing an optimal jaw thrust, eliminating the need for the clinician to manually maintain the jaw thrust during a procedure. In addition, the JED™ may be left in place as the patient recovers following the procedure, providing an open airway until sedation wears off.

AACD President’s Notes: Seems like this device is the answer to patients who
partially obstruct during “deep” MAC cases and could also be very helpful in the
PACU for perhaps sleepy patients to help keep their airway open. You can
actually buy this onsite to take home with a money back guarantee.

View + Access + Affordable = CoPilot VL Despite the clearly documented benefits of VL, the high cost of these devices has prevented it from being adopted as the standard of care for airway management. VL also has been perceived as a device reserved for difficult intu-bations, only. Until now

AACD President’s Notes: Seems like a very interesting price for a
VideoLaryngoscope with a disposable blade that also has a channel for a bougie
to help with intubation. Certainly worth looking at to see if this device and
pricepoint could meet your clinical needs. NOTE: Not clinically available yet.

AACD President’s Notes: Masimo has technology reaching from brain function
monitoring to Acoustic Respiratory Rate monitoring. Perhaps the RRa may play
a significant role in Sleep Apnea patients post operative monitoring. The

An instrument is no substitute for a philosophy
In the past 12 years, we have made significant global contributions
to the field of airway management. We have developed scientific
solutions for the expected and unexpected difficult airway as well
as for training and continued education and have implemented
them within algorithms.
After more than 27 years, BONFILS has become a mainstay along-
side the "gold standard", intubation fiberscopes and LED standard
laryngoscopes.
For standard intubation and difficult airway, video laryngoscopy
and flexible fiber optics – the battery-operated monitor is accessed
in seconds, and all data are safely stored in the form of video clips
or images – a true highlight:.
