Cardiac disease and anaesthesia symposium
Join us online in April for two days of discussion about anaesthesia for patients with cardiac disease.
Patients with heart disease can present on any elective list, and also as emergencies. The aim of the symposium is to explore areas of clinical importance for all practising anaesthetists. The event brings together expert cardiologists, anaesthetists, and intensivists, bringing a truly multidisciplinary approach to complex problems making it easier for all of us to better understand the pathophysiology of heart disease and how to manage patients with often complex problems.
The programme will explore a wide range of topics with plenty of opportunities to question the experts, take stock and translate the most recent evidence into our clinical practice for the benefit of our patients.
Where permitted, talks will be recorded and made available to delegates post event. Once registered you will have access to the recorded material for up to six months after the live event. Viewing of the recording will carry the same number of CPD points.
Session topics include:
- Preoperative assessment of the cardiac patient
- Challenges of pulmonary hypertension
- The adult with group-up congenital heart disease
- The surgical patient with coronary disease
- The supported heart and monitoring
- Valvular heart disease
- Problems and solutions
