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.
CME Accreditation
All congress events and workshops will be certified with the relevant CME credit organisations of the USA, Europe and the German Medical Council (Ärztekammer).
