Introduction: We all face unpredictable or challenging cases in the operating room or hospital setting in our careers.  Oftentimes, the firsthand experience of a lost airway or intraoperative hemorrhage is the single best preparation for managing future incidents.  Sharing these experiences will allow your colleagues to benefit and perhaps contribute down the line to a safer practice environment.

1. Objective 1: To provide a safe forum for exploration and discussion of difficult or challenging cases
2. Objective 2: To brainstorm and introduce avenues for practice-based or systems improvement
3. Objective 3: To provide a learning space for management of intraoperative crises
