Fresh New Look and Pump Blood: Evaluation of Four Systems (EP Video)
The presentation goal is to demonstrate a new modified technique in processing residual pump blood and thereby reduce the need for blood products and transfusion (22:48 minutes).
Ex Vivo Perfusion of the Heart with an Aim to Increase Viable Hearts for Transplantation (EP Video)
The race is on to develop an affordable, hybridized ex vivo heart perfusion system in which load-independent biventricular contractility and contractile reserve can be measured (26:40 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).
Electronic Perfusion Data Management: A Gigabyte of Info (EP Video)
With perfusion being such a small specialty, how do our data management solutions fit into the big picture of EHR adoption? This presentation attempts to answer this question and further discusses how to assess the current options on the market in relation to federal, institutional, and departmental goals (24:49 minutes).
Ectopia Cordis: An Out-of-Body Experience & LVAD Placement in HITT Patient (EP Video)
Amanda Cerqua from The University of Iowa presents two case reports for the Ken Farmer Scholarship Award (29:30 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).
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).
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).
Bilateral Cerebral Perfusion via Right Axillary Artery Cannulation Alone in Aortic Arch Surgery
