+ Information:
This one-day, in-person conference is designed to ensure high-quality care, team coordination, and continuous improvement in the field of mechanical circulatory support. The program combines didactic lectures with hands-on skills stations, offering a platform for clinicians to update their knowledge on best practices, clinical guidelines, and the practical management of complex MCS devices. The curriculum emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, addressing the technical, physiological, and pharmacological aspects of caring for critically ill patients on support.
+ What You Will Learn
Attendees will be able to:
-
Explain the indications, contraindications, and physiological considerations for various MCS devices used in cardiogenic shock.
-
Develop systematic approaches to detect and troubleshoot device malfunction and malpositioning.
-
Interpret current literature to determine optimal exit strategies and liberation protocols from mechanical support.
-
Implement best practices for adjunctive care, including anti-coagulation, sedation, analgesia, and antimicrobial stewardship in MCS patients.
-
Demonstrate technical proficiency through hands-on workshops covering device management and emergency troubleshooting.

+ Why Attend
-
Hands-On Training: The agenda includes dedicated rotation stations for practical experience with ECMO, Impella, and IABP devices, allowing for “muscle memory” development in a controlled environment.
-
Troubleshooting Focus: Unlike general theory courses, this event prioritizes the “what goes wrong” aspect—teaching attendees how to handle alarms, migration, and physiological crashes.
-
Multidisciplinary Perspective: Faculty includes intensivists, surgeons, and pharmacists, ensuring a holistic view of patient management beyond just the device mechanics.
