Translating ICU Concepts into the Operating Room
Thursday, August 5th | 6:00 pm ET – 7:00 pm ET

The complexity of perioperative care has never been higher. Anesthesiologists in the ICU and the OR all mutually benefit from continual, strong academic collaboration. Research insights from the ICU regarding cardiopulmonary management can be high yield for the operating room anesthesiologist. We aim to provide robust, data-driven, anesthesia-led perioperative care, in and out of the operating room.

Introduction – Steven Minear, MD
Bringing the ICU to the OR: Evidence-Based Ventilation for Anesthesiologists  -Steven Minear, MD & Frank Rosemeier, MD
Anesthesia for the Heart Failure Patient – Gaston Cudemus, MD

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Integrate ICU ventilation concepts with the intraoperative patient
• Articulate the hemodynamic goals and intraoperative considerations for the heart failure patient

Legislative Update
Thursday, August 26th | 6:00 pm ET – 7:00 pm ET
