Anesthesiology”, a masterclass brought together leading specialists from Ukraine and Latvia. The event became a true platform for professional development, experience exchange, and practical skills in surgery, anesthesiology, and burn care.

Particular attention was paid to the selection of modern antiseptics to combat antibiotic-resistant microflora, which is critically important in the treatment of burn wounds—especially under conditions of military conflict.
