Activity Description
This activity features archived video-based content that was presented as part of the 19th Annual Perioperative and Critical Care Conference in September 2022. The course is designed for the entire team of health professionals who want to learn about the latest techniques and management strategies in cardiovascular and thoracic (CVT) critical care and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Eight sessions address topics like ERAS in various scenarios—including the patient’s perspective—as well as maximizing multidisciplinary cooperation, ICU dilemmas, and a session on the shock team and MCS/ECMO management.
