ECMO Workshop - ECMO simulation

Coordinators: Alain Vuylsteke and Andy Pybus

Description: Duration 2 hours.

The aim of these workshops is to provide an overview of the current state of ECMO practices. Four different interactive tutorials are on offer: (1) Introduction to veno-venous ECMO; (2) Problem-solving in veno-venous ECMO; (3) Introduction to veno-arterial ECMO; (2) Problem-solving in veno-arterial ECMO. Both moderators are experienced ECMO clinicians and will use a high-fidelity medical simulation system that allows the user to experience real-life clinical situation.

Target audience: Maximimum 25 Cardiac anesthesiologists, Intensivists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, intensive care nurses and perfusionists

Goals of Workshop:

The workshops will bring ECMO to the congress and allow participants to experience the MSE ECMO simulator in an interactive environment. Standard clinical scenarios will be presented and the participant will be exposed to a range to ECMO situations over the 2 hours.




Pacemaker WORKSHOP - Advanced external pacing

Coordinators: Alain Vuylsteke / Kenneth Gilpin

Description: Duration 60 min. If you do not feel comfortable with the more in depth secrets of External Pacing, this workshop might help you out. You will be able to work with a high-fidelity pacing simulator that responds like a patient - expert stuff that is also used in electrophysiological modelling

Target audience: Maximum 20 Cardiac anesthesiologists, Intensivists, intensive caer and theatre nurses.

Goals of Workshop:

The workshops will bring high fidelity virtual simulation to the congress and allow participants to experience a stet-of-the art pacing simulator in an interactive environment. Standard clinical scenarios will be presented.




TOE Workshop - Intraoperative TOE reporting

Coordinator: Joost van der Maaten

Description: Duration 90 minutes. How to synthetize a comprehensive intraoperative TOE exam into an up to date focussed Echoreport including relevant quantitataive analysis. Minimum Basic TOE experience is required.

Target audience: Maximum 20 Cardiac Anesthesiologists with at least basic experience in TOE

Goals of Workshop:
  1. The course will start from a comprehensive TOE exam in different intraoperative contexts

  2. The participant will learn to make a relevant online quantitative analysis taking into account the intra-operative constraints.

  3. Synthetize the information into a focussed intra-operative TOE report.



Coagulation Workshop - Thromboelastometry-guided point-of-care coagulation management

Coordinator: Klaus Görlinger

Description: Duration 120 minutes.

Introduction in Thromboelastometry principles and technique. Use of thromoelastometry as POC diagnostic tool, interpretation and implications on perioperative coagulation management. ROTEM hands-on training for practical experience and interpretation.

Target audience: Maximum 25 - 30 Cardiac Anesthesiologists, Perfusionists

Goals of Workshop:
  1. Get knowledge on thromboelastometry principle, technology and limitations as diagnostic tool.

  2. Learn to use ROTEM and interpret results and use for differential diagnosis.

  3. Guide therapeutic decision by POC diagnosis to optimize perioperative coagulation management.

  4. Discuss and exchange experience with experts



CRM Workshop - Crew Resource Management

Coordinator: Christa Boer / Ralf Krage

Description: Duration 4 hours.
  • Workshop will not take place in the congress Venue but at the ADAM simulator in the Free University at 10 minutes walking distance from RAI.

  • The ADAM simulation group of the VU university medical centre in Amsterdam, hopes to offer participants an instructive, educational and enjoyable simulation experience!

  • Breakfast and catering are complimentary.

Target audience: Maximum 10 Cardiac anesthesiologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons

Goals of Workshop:
  1. This highly interactive workshop will give participants the unique opportunity to practice teamwork in an simulated, safe learning environment. Participants will be actively involved in simulated acute care scenario’s followed by an extensive debriefing run by experienced instructors.

  2. Participation in this 4 hour workshop is limited to a maximum of 10 health care professionals to guarantee a high level of interaction and learning
