About this Webinar
Dr Guillermo Martinez will share insights from his role as a Cardiac Anaesthetist supporting Non-Cardiac Surgery, exploring peri-operative challenges and practical strategies when managing high-risk cardiac patients outside the traditional cardiac setting.
Dr Hannah Kiziltug will take us on a journey from Chaos to Control, demonstrating how Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts can transform quality improvement work and support better, data-driven clinical decisions.
Dr Thomas Chloros will focus on the evolving role of TOE in Impella support, highlighting imaging techniques that are crucial for safe implantation, optimisation, and troubleshooting in advanced mechanical circulatory support.
Finally, Dr Antonio Rubino will tackle the complex question of VSD management — when to wait, when to optimise, and when to intervene — drawing on real-world experience to guide decision-making in challenging clinical scenarios.
These sessions promise to be highly practical, thought-provoking, and relevant across multiple specialties. We hope you can join us for what will be a stimulating and educational programme.
