Join us on this webinar to hear out expert opinions and to explore the processes and advanced management of the failing heart.
Cardiothoracic intensive care combines fundamental principals of physiology with advancing technology to implement the use of mechanical assists. The webinar will cover this niche area of intensive care medicine that many clinicians may only rarely encounter - end-stage and extreme central organ dysfunction.
This session will cover the spectrum of cardiac pathology through mechanical assists and advanced cardiothoracic management through lectures and discussions.
Meeting topics include:
- Advanced cardiac failure management
- The underlying pathophysiology that necessitates cardiac support
- The pathways to advanced cardiac management
- Types of cardiac support and devices, how they work, and when they're used
This webinar is a must for trainees, those doing exams, consultants who wish to refresh their understanding of devices and assists, and allied healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with cardiac pathologies.
A certificate of attendance and CPD certificate with 1 CPD credit will be issued to those joining the webinar live. Certificates of attendance for CPD will be automatically issued after 7 days, but only where a delegate watches the webinar live in its entirety.
