NEW! Haemodynamic rounds: how to integrate haemodynamics into clinical practice
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
To provide extensive insight into the haemodynamics of PTS with cardiogenic shock and to understand the role of HD in decision-making based on trajectory, phenotyping, admission, and monitoring.
This workshop is divided into 3 parts:
- Part 1: PV-loops at the bedside: next level haemodynamics?
- Part 2: How to integrate pulmonary artery measurements into practice
- Part 3: Critical care echocardiography: what should we look for?
The 3 parts are repeated on both days. See the schedule
NEW! Echography
Important: pre-registration is mandatory to participate in this workshop (max. of 15 participants per slot). The registration will open shortly.
A structured echodynamic approach for the application of SCAI and SHARC classification
The integration of the echo evaluation in the patient trajectory – from the first medical contact to the comprehensive evaluation
The integration of multiorgan echodynamic assessment for the evaluation of the cardiocirculatory cross-talk
Escape rooms on Cardiogenic Shock and Pulmonary Embolism
Escape Room on Cardiogenic Shock
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of 25 participants is allowed for each session (divided into 5 groups of 5).
To incorporate key critical care cardiology concepts for diagnosis, classification and phenotyping of cardiogenic shock in a practical way that will allow them to appropriately tailor key therapeutic strategies in the management of these patients.
To learn from rapid-paced scenarios emulating real-life clinical situations of patients with cardiogenic shock, where timely treatment decisions will be required, including indications for early revascularisation and appropriate revascularisation strategies, appropriate selection of vasoactive medications, management of extracardiac organ involvement and management of cardiac arrest complicating cardiogenic shock, among other therapies.
To understand the importance of multidisciplinary teams and integration of multiparametric evaluation in cardiogenic shock, including hemodynamic parameters, imaging, clinical findings and laboratory tests for patients with deteriorating cardiogenic shock who need escalation of therapies.
4 repeated sessions will be held during the congress. See the schedule
Escape Room on Pulmonary Embolism
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of 25 participants is allowed for each session (divided into 5 groups of 5).
Understand how to approach patients with pulmonary embolism using the recommended classification by current guidelines, incorporating both concepts from the published recommendations from ESC and ACC/AHA
Integrate clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic parameters in decision-making for patients with pulmonary embolism through the implementation of Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT).
Understand the indications for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with pulmonary embolism suffering cardiac arrest as a bridge to catheter-based therapies, and recognise the indications, contraindications, benefits, and risks of percutaneous pulmonary thrombectomy in improving hemodynamics and survival.
4 repeated sessions will be held during the congress. See the schedule
Simulation on Cardiac Care
Important: 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 (divided into 2 groups of 4).
Describe the purpose and value of structured debriefing in acute cardiac events.
Facilitate a debrief that promotes psychological safety and avoids blame.
Apply a clear framework to guide post-event discussions.
Identify communication and workflow issues that commonly arise during cardiac emergencies.
Translate observations from the event into specific, actionable performance improvements.
Recognise emotional responses after high-stress cardiac cases and address them appropriately within the debrief.
Distinguish between clinical factors, human factors, and system factors when analysing an event.
4 repeated sessions will be held during the congress. See the schedule
