OUR VISION

Details reveal
the way we care.

Aetherion integrates clinical knowledge, technology, and management to provide personalised, attentive care.

In outpatient sedation, this begins with active listening and careful planning. The choice of technique, the clinical setup, and the follow-up process are all tailored to the individual, the specific procedure, and the environment.

This same level of care guides our medical education initiatives and our communication regarding Somnus: knowledge presented with clarity and responsibility.

LEADERSHIP

Presence, expertise,
and responsibility.

Dr. Gustavo Fornazari, Aetherion Medical Director

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

Dr. Gustavo Fornazari

Anaesthesiologist
CRM-SC 31.763 · RQE 28.031

His professional background includes a residency in Anaesthesiology at Hospital Governador Celso Ramos, in Florianópolis.

He is the author of A arte de sedara work on procedural sedation in adults that integrates pharmacology, clinical assessment, and clinical reasoning into a structured study framework.

As the Technical Director at Aetherion, he develops personalised sedation plans based on each individual’s clinical profile, the specific procedure, and their unique needs. This planning process includes carefully listening to the patient’s questions, past experiences, and expectations.

He views the patient holistically, taking into account their health history, lifestyle habits, nutritional status, and use of medications or supplements—all of which are relevant to the anesthetic assessment. Instructions regarding preparation and fasting are tailored to the specific context of the care provided.

His approach bridges the physiology of the nervous system with applied pharmacology. A deep understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics guides the selection and administration of medications, accounting for their specific effects, duration of action, and the individual characteristics of each patient.

Cardiorespiratory monitoring—and, when indicated, cerebral monitoring—are integrated with infusion and support systems. Data from this equipment complements clinical observation and the anaesthesiologist’s presence, allowing for the continuous tracking of the patient’s status and the adjustment of care as needed.

From the initial assessment through post-anesthetic recovery, the commitment is to provide a constant presence, clear communication, and a focus on the patient’s comfort and privacy. Care designed to respect each individual’s uniqueness, with clinical oversight and criteria guiding every stage, including discharge.
