17th Saudi Anesthesia Conference (SAS 2026)

The Saudi Anesthesia Conference is the annual scientific meeting of the Saudi Anesthesia Society. Its 17th edition, themed "AI and Anesthesia — The Future", looks at how predictive analytics, smart monitoring and decision support can strengthen perioperative care while keeping the anesthesiologist as the decision-maker. About 30 speakers and debaters present across eight scientific tracks, drawn from the Kingdom's major medical centres and from abroad.

Conference pillars

Five commitments shape the sessions, workshops and abstracts.

• AI-powered insights and predictive analytics
• Personalized anesthesia
• Enhanced performance for anesthesia and OR teams
• Human-augmented practice, with AI supporting the clinician
• Safety redefined

Learning objectives

By the end of the meeting attendees should be able to recognise updates in anesthesia practice related to AI applications, manage anesthesia crises, describe value-based anesthesia, review updates across anesthesia subspecialties and apply perioperative anesthetic protocols.
