Sponsored Symposia at the CAS Annual Meeting

From Flow to Overload: Rethinking Hemodynamics in the Surgical Patient

– Symposium Sponsor–

 

Saturday June 21
Room: Bowring 4

This symposium will delve into the critical aspects of hemodynamic management in surgical patients, focusing on the importance of maintaining optimal perfusion pressure and flow targets using advanced monitoring tools like continuous blood pressure monitoring. Attendees will gain insights into the latest evidence-based practices and technologies that enhance patient outcomes by ensuring precise hemodynamic control.
 
Learning objectives 

• Discuss the role of continuous blood pressure monitoring in maintaining optimal perfusion and improving surgical outcomes.
• Discuss the impact of stable perfusion pressure on organ function and surgical outcomes.

• Analyze the adverse effects of fluid overload on cardiac and pulmonary function, postoperative ileus, and wound healing.
• Develop strategies to prevent fluid overload and its associated complications in surgical patients.

Presenter: 



Dr. Ahmad Alli MD MMed FRCPC, Medical director of the cardiovascular intensive care unit at St. Michael's Hospital and Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia at the University of Toronto
