Hi guys, just wanted to see if anyone received acceptance/notifications about case reports for the upcomming fall 2018 ASA meeting? I am trying to plan other major life events around that time and it would be great to know if I can attend or not. I'm not sure when notifications went out last year. Thanks!

Based off emails, sometime towards the end of July.
I have never heard of a case report not being accepted and I've seen some god awful ones the past few years. If you didn't mis-spell your name, then assume it's accepted.
Like what?
You can submit a case report about intraoperative hypotension and it would be accepted. Maybe even foley placement. Perhaps it's because I trained at a hospital with a good deal of pathology every day but some of the most mundane things get through. Common and well known surgical complications, use of 3rd-4th line treatments intraop, common problems presenting slightly differently, etc.

Hear that @Anes2010 ?
I can see it now:
“How long does it really need to be? Preoperative semen ingestion and NPO guidelines.”
submit a 'difficult airway' case that you used a glidescope for and they'll likely accept it.
We use more McGrath than Glide. Maybe that’ll be the hook. It was difficult for me, since I cannot get it with McGrath.
ASA hasn't cum out with a consensus statement on semen guidelines so it could be interesting.

We’re gonna need an RCT. Now enrolling volunteers. Send all inquiries along with headshots to @SaltyDog MD.

Off-topic:
+1. The McGrath SUCKS. It can't hold a candle to the glide (or C-Mac).

The glide has a much wider viewing angle. It's so much easier to find the glottis in a mass of OSA soft tissue.
The screen on the McGrath is a joke. The whole thing is a joke. Better than nothing, but the McGrath is to a videolaryngoscope like the Yugo is to a car.
