To learn how to:
- incorporate key critical care cardiology concepts for management of cardiogenic shock, including indications for early revascularization and appropriate revascularization strategies, appropriate selection of vasoactive medications, and indications for respiratory support;
- evaluate indications and interpret haemodynamic parameters for patients with deteriorating cardiogenic shock, employing appropriate classifications for their shock phenotypes and severity
- integrate decision-making elements - such as advanced life support in critical care cardiology settings -  for patients with cardiogenic shock who need escalation of therapies.

New! How to make a home-made phantom for invasive procedures

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: No registration is required for this workshop, places will be assigned on a first come first served basis. A maximum of 8 participants is allowed for each session. 

In the ICU, being able to perform invasive procedure is a very important skill. To improve your technique you need real hands-on training. Unfortunately commercial phantoms are expensive and not available in all hospital setting. The solution is to build your home made phantoms, with every day materials you can reuse or redo in a easy way.

The aim of this workshop is to review the literature on the topic and to provide a simple method to obtain high quality phantoms.
