The complexity and severity of illness in patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) are increasing. This shift highlights the need for cardiovascular specialists with expertise in critical care medicine.
The 4th Annual NYU Langone Critical Care Cardiology Symposium will provide a comprehensive approach to managing acute cardiovascular conditions, including cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, arrhythmias, acute valvular disease, pulmonary hypertension, right heart failure, and toxicology. Additionally, the course will address non-cardiovascular complications, research in critical care cardiology (CCC), and end-of-life issues.
This course will emphasize a multidisciplinary, team-based approach, offering evidence-based strategies and practical tips through lectures, debates, and round-table discussions. It will also feature breakout sessions, hands-on simulation, and opportunities for attendees to present their research and cases.
* Date of Original Release: October 25-26, 2024
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Diagnose cardiogenic shock and analyze its different phenotypes including right ventricular shock and their specific management challenges and strategies
- Integrate the components of a multidisciplinary shock team and shock network Including optimization of end-organ dysfunction management as a proven strategy to improve outcomes
- Identify key feature to prompt shock team activation and escalation of care with other specialties as needed
- Manage high-complexity conditions in the CICU including, cardiac arrest, congenital heart disease, restrictive cardiomyopathies, right ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension.
- Utilize practical tips learned from CICU experts to improve outcomes and approach challenging scenarios, including airway and ventilation management, sedation, hemodynamics and arrhythmias
- Integrate into their local CICUs models critical care cardiology research, innovation, training and organizational logistics aimed to improve quality and outcomes
Utilize multidisciplinary approaches to manage end-of-life issues in the CICU
