Cardiovascular-Thoracic (CVT) Critical Care Course 2010

A One-Day CME Course for Multi-Disciplinary CVT Critical Care Professionals Presented on September 14, 2010
Dayton Marriott, Dayton, Ohio

This regional Cardiovascular-Thoracic (CVT) Critical Care Course will present the latest information in the unique specialty of CVT critical care.

Important Information

Description »


This Regional Cardiovascular-Thoracic (CVT) Critical Care Course will present the latest information in the unique specialty of CVT critical care. The Course is co-sponsored by The Heart Institute of Dayton and the Foundation for the Advancement of CardioThoracic Surgical Care (FACTS-Care).

With the rapid evolution in the practice and technology of CVT critical care, the Course will present the latest concepts, practices, and technology to the multi-disciplinary professionals providing care for patients undergoing CVT operations and procedures.

This unique course is directed to the entire team of professionals that provide CVT critical care:

Surgeons, Cardiologists, Interventionalists

Intensivists & Anesthesiologists

Critical Care Nurses / Nurse Practitioners

Physician Assistants

Cath Lab Technicians

Perfusionists

Pharmacists

Respiratory Therapists

Administrators

Experts and world authorities will present the latest concepts, technology, management protocols, and clinical experience in their specialties. The program includes faculty presentations, audience-panel discussions, and a hemodynamic simulation workshop. Approaches and specific protocols will be related to clinical data so that participants can structure their clinical practice on evidence-based medicine.

With the field of CVT critical care rapidly changing, it is anticipated that participation in the course will lead to implementation of new concepts, protocols, and technology. The overall goal is to make the recovery of patients from CVT surgery and interventional procedures faster, safer, and more comfortable.

Needs Assessment »


The increasing complexity of cardiovascular-thoracic (CVT) critical care requires a new level of critical care performance. CVT critical care is being recognized as an emerging specialty within the frameworks of CVT surgery, interventional cardiology, interventional radiology and general critical care. Although the cardiovascular-thoracic surgeon has traditionally provided perioperative care with the assistance of residents and fellows, the overall field of cardiovascular-thoracic care is broadening to include care of patients undergoing not only classical cardiac surgical operations but also endovascular and minimally invasive surgery, interventional cardiology procedures, and interventional radiological procedures. In addition the organization of CVT critical care is changing. The critical care of CVT patients is increasingly being provided by a multi-disciplinary team. The team includes: CVT surgeons, critical care physicians and anesthesiologists, critical care nurses and nurse practitioners, physician assistants, perfusionists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and nutritionists. It is essential that these multi-disciplinary professionals share a broad understanding of the care, so that they can function well as a team to enhance speed of recovery, quality, safety, and patient comfort.

This new critical care specialty is faced with major challenges:

A rapid evolution in critical care concepts, pharmacology and technology.

The unique physiologic states and complications experienced by CVT patients.

The aging CVT patient population with more advanced primary disease and associated conditions.

Major advances in surgical techniques, interventional procedures and the accompanying technology.

Newly-adopted national regulations limiting house staff work hours that accentuate the shortage of critical care staff.

The difficulty in providing comfortable care with patients subjected to multiple negative sensory inputs including monitoring sounds, alarms, technical language, and procedures.

The increasing number of disciplines included on the CVT critical care team.

The well-documented compromises in medical practice safety.


The Dayton Heart Institute - FACTS-Care Cardiovascular-Thoracic (CVT) Critical Care Course addresses these challenges as follows:

The conference is dedicated to presenting the latest information and innovative concepts and technology in CVT Critical Care.

The program agenda has been designed with the assistance of multi-disciplinary specialists.

Experts and world authorities will present the latest concepts, protocols and clinical experience in their specialties. Participants will be encouraged to add their perspectives to the dialogue via a Luncheon Symposium with an Audience-Panel Discussion.

Basic approaches and specific protocols will be related to clinical data so that participants can structure their clinical practice on "evidence based medicine."
