Bretschneider’s Solution, HTK & Custodial: An Alternative Crystalloid Intracellular Cardioplegia for Pediatrics (EP Video)
An overview of our clinical experience will be presented for these three formulas and our simple perfusion heat exchanger set up as a single dosing alternative to multi-dosing in pediatrics (40:18 minutes).
TAVR in Private Practice (EP Video)
Having a community based TAVR program opens options for patients in our community where none existed or they had to travel a great distance several times prior to the operation (35:27 minutes).
Autologous Blood Management Strategies in Cardiac Surgery (EP Video)
In order to minimize the risks and adverse effects after transfusing homologous blood products, new strategies of autologous blood management (ABM) have been introduced in cardiac surgery (45:11 minutes).
The Establishment & Use of TEG in a Pediatric Institution (EP Video)
In this presentation, Kathy will discuss the clinical use of TEG in the pediatric setting, describe how we recently implemented the test at our institution, and discuss several pediatric cases in which TEG results had an impact on patient treatment (36:51 minutes).
Adipose Stem Cells, The Emerging Field (EP Video)
J.D. Fritz discusses the emerging field of Adipose Stem Cells (26:00 minutes).
IABP Sizing Impact On Augmentation (EP Video)
This presentation aims to address the topic of IAB sizing and its correlation to therapy as well as strategies to optimize size on an individual basis (32:38 minutes).
Starting a Commercial TAVR Program: Important Lessons Learned (EP Video)
This presentation describes the lessons learned from starting a commercial TAVR program in a community-based hospital in Honolulu, HI. (54:49 minutes).
Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: Repeat Offenders (EP Video)
This presentation will help illustrate the marked differences between acquired versus congenital heart disease in the adult population using both case studies and illustrations (60:34 minutes).
Cannulation Disaster Management (EP Video)
By understanding the nuances of minimally invasive cardiac surgical perfusion techniques one can hopefully avoid and if necessary successfully navigate most unexpected complications (47:58 minutes).
Emergency Preparedness: Are You Ready? (EP Video)
Failure Mode Effects Analysis, FMEA, is a technique which will help us to be proactive for risk analysis. Perfusion safety will be defined and six steps to perfusion safety will be reviewed. Practical benefits to having a perfusion FMEA will be discussed to see if your perfusion program is ready for an emergency (45:59 minutes).
Hemodynamics in Heart Failure, and the Effects of New Interventions (EP Video)
Heart failure can be the result of a wide range of disorders, including coronary ischemic heart disease, myocardial diseases, and valvular heart disease. Specific treatments address the underlying pathophysiology of the disorder. By reviewing hemodynamic and pressure-volume relationships in disease, we can think about tailoring our therapy to the needs of the patient (46:14 minutes).
