17th Saudi Anesthesia Conference 19–21 NOV 2026 · Riyadh

17th Edition · 19–21 NOV 2026

About the conference

The 17th Saudi Anesthesia Conference brings the Kingdom’s perioperative community together in Riyadh around a single question: how artificial intelligence makes anesthesia safer without displacing the anesthesiologist.

The theme

AI and Anesthesia — The Future

This year’s theme, “Anesthesia Practice and Artificial Intelligence — Updates,” places artificial intelligence where it belongs in clinical practice — as a layer of monitoring, prediction, decision support, safety and research that sits underneath the clinician rather than in front of the patient.

Across three days the program moves from AI-powered insight to safety redefined, taking in anesthesia crisis management, value-based anesthesia, subspecialty updates and perioperative protocols. It is built for the whole perioperative team, not only for consultants.

The central idea

Intelligence in motion

Artificial intelligence earns its place in anesthesia only when it completes a chain that begins and ends with the clinician.

  1. Human expertise

    The anesthesiologist remains the decision-maker. Everything begins and ends with clinical judgment.

  2. Data

    Vitals, waveforms, records and registries — the perioperative signal, captured continuously.

  3. Intelligence

    Analytics and models that find the pattern in the signal before it becomes an event.

  4. Decision

    Evidence surfaced at the moment it is needed, as support rather than substitution.

  5. Patient safety

    The only outcome that measures whether any of it worked.

Event objectives

What you will take back to theatre

By the end of this activity, the attendees will be able to:

  1. Recognize update in anesthesia practices in relation to Artificial Intelligence applications
  2. Execute anesthesia crises management
  3. Describe value-based anesthesia
  4. Conclude latest update in anesthesia subspecialties practices
  5. Apply different perioperative anesthetics protocols

From AI-powered insights to safety redefined

Conference pillars

Five commitments that shape every session, workshop and abstract.

AI scientific focus

Artificial intelligence in anesthesia

The conference positions AI as a clinical transformation layer: monitoring, prediction, decision support, safety, and research.

Clinical transformation layer

Predict

Predictive Analytics

Early warning signals for high-risk patients and perioperative events.

Monitor

Smart Monitoring

HR, ETCO₂, BIS, oxygenation, and hemodynamic trend intelligence.

Decide

Decision Support

Safer practice through evidence-based recommendations and alerts.

Learn

Research Data

National registries, abstracts, analytics, and future Saudi AI healthcare studies.
