Cardiothoracic critical care

This webinar brings together two expert speakers for a discussion on topics within cardiothoracic critical care.

The first speaker will discuss routine post-operative care of the cardiothoracic patient with an emphasis on the devices used following cardiothoracic surgery including Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs). The second speaker will discuss the basic management of patients after heart and lung transplantation. This webinar is invaluable to any members of the critical care team or those who may be involved in the post-operative management of patients who have undergone cardiothoracic surgery. 

The aim of this virtual meeting is to teach students, doctors and other healthcare professionals about the management of post-operative cardiothoracic surgical patients in the Critical Care Unit. Cardiothoracic Critical Care is a complex and challenging area of critical care. Attendees will learn from two experts in Cardiothoracic Critical Care about subjects including invasive monitoring and devices in the post-operative patient, and the management of patients following heart and lung transplantation.

We hope that attendees will gain an understanding of the patient journey through the Cardiothoracic Critical Care Unit.

Benefits of attending: 

• Understand the considerations for routine post-operative management of the cardiothoracic patient.
• Gain an understanding of the physiology underpinning mechanical devices used post-operatively following Cardiothoracic Surgery in the critical care patient.
• Enhance your understanding of the post-operative implications of heart and lung transplants.
