IACA Webinar | Cardiovascular Support & Mechanical Circulatory Support

Explore the latest evidence shaping perioperative cardiovascular management, with a focus on applying evidence-based approaches to clinical decision-making. The session will highlight key considerations for optimising care of patients with cardiovascular conditions in the perioperative setting.

Topics

Topic 01

Pharmacological Support: Vasopressors, Inotropes, Fluids – what to choose, when and why?

Topic 02

Mechanical Support: IABP, ECMO, Impella – what do we learn from the recent recommendations?

Topic 03

Coagulation Management During Mechanical Support – Something new?

Learning Objectives

Understand perioperative cardiovascular physiology and shock types, general principles of hemodynamic optimization, advantages/disadvantages of cardiovascular drugs, discuss recent recommendations/studies

Understand perioperative heart failure and cardiogenic shock, principle of extracorporeal mechanical support in general and each devices, recent recommendation, complications

(Patho-)Physiology of coagulation, understand the balance between thrombosis and bleeding on MCS, drugs to be used, recommendations and treatment options
