Audience |
| Cardiothoracic
anesthesiologists, critical care physicians, general anesthesiologists,
nurses, perfusionists and other allied health personnel,
epidemiologists/ researchers and all those involved in the care of the
cardio vascular surgery patient will benefit from attendance at this
meeting. |
| Statement
of Need |
| The field
of cardiovascular anesthesiology is a dynamic specialty that changes as
modern cardiovascular medicine changes. New additions to the
armamentarium of cardiovascular medicine include percutaneous
interventions, valvular heart surgery, minimally invasive techniques,
heart failure devices, and electrophysiologic interventions. Current
practitioners in cardiovascular anesthesiology demand an educational
course that is current and up to date with both cardiology and cardiac
surgical advances. The ICCVA provides this educational tool. The
meeting provides teaching of intraoperative echocardiography for
management of patients undergoing various cardiac surgical procedures.
Also provided are workshops in cardiopulmonary bypass and heart
failure. A multidisciplinary faculty who have received excellent
evaluations from previous attendees will be present. Interactive
workshops and discussion sessions with the experts center on
patient-oriented educational programs to teach the requisite skills and
concepts necessary for advanced care of these patients. This
interdisciplinary program sponsored and offered by the SCA,
Charité, DGAI and EACTA for its members has been developed
to meet the growing demand for such educational needs. |

of each abstract with the presenter and the audience, for every
abstract

poster for 45 minutes before and 30 minutes after their session, to
address further questions.
