Joe Basha's PerfWeb #97-Day 3 — Addressing Hemodynamic Challenges and CPB Weaning Techniques — Perfusion

The PerfWeb Podcast

Join us for an insightful and educational day at PerfWeb 97 on Thursday, February 22, 2024, as we delve into critical aspects of perfusion practice. This webinar, approved for 2.4 CEUs by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (ABCP), offers a comprehensive exploration of two vital topics: Treating Hemodynamic Disturbances and Weaning from Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). 1500-1600: Treating Hemodynamic Disturbances - V. Carlyle, RN, BSN-CCRN The first session, led by esteemed faculty member V. Carlyle, RN, BSN-CCRN, focuses on treating hemodynamic disturbances. This segment will provide an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of blood flow, pressure, and resistance in the cardiovascular system. Participants will learn about the latest techniques and strategies for managing hemodynamic instabilities, including pharmacologic and mechanical interventions. Key learning points: Understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of hemodynamic disturbances. Identifying common causes and their impact on patient outcomes. Exploring contemporary management strategies, including drug therapy and innovative devices. 1600-1700: The Pressure is on Weaning from CPB - T. DiSalvio, CCP The second hour features T. DiSalvio, CCP, an expert in the field, discussing the critical process of weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. This session will offer a detailed examination of the protocols, techniques, and challenges encountered during the weaning phase. Participants will gain valuable insights into optimizing patient stability and ensuring a successful transition from CPB. Key learning points: Overview of CPB weaning protocols and criteria for readiness. Techniques for balancing hemodynamics during the weaning process. Addressing common complications and strategies for their resolution. Who Should Attend: This webinar is ideal for perfusionists, cardiac nurses, cardiovascular technologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in cardiac surgery and patient care. Whether you are seeking to deepen your expertise or update your skills, this webinar provides a valuable opportunity for professional development.
