Description:
Annual societal meeting that presents education and research for cardiovascular anesthesiologists.

Educational Information
Physician Practice Gap:
A gap in physician performance in echocardiography and knowledge base in cardiothoracic anesthesiology will be addressed. This conference addresses several current gaps in cardiac anesthesiology: communication and teamwork in the cardiac surgical workplace, professional advancement of anesthesiologists into leadership positions and in academia, advanced echocardiography and point of care ultrasound technique, and up to date clinical information and best practices in cardiothoracic anesthesiology practice.

Needs that Underlie the Gap
Interpret and extrapolate current knowledge, evidence, and guidelines into anesthetic decision making for perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac, thoracic, or vascular surgical procedures.

DESIGNED to Change/Outcome: Following this activity, learners will develop competence by increasing their knowledge through a combination of hands-on learning, case-based presentations, and online lectures. Knowledge will be assessed with a pre-test and post-test.

The physicians in attendance will be able to deliver a higher quality of care in cardiothoracic anesthesiology and cardiac surgical procedures by reviewing evidence-based material that has been identified as a professional practice gap, by attending workshops to improve hands-on delivery of cardiac anesthesia care, and to improve health care delivery in the cardiothoracic surgical space. Teaching modalities will include panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and problem-based learning discussions.

Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • describe the latest advances in perioperative cardiovascular medicine.
  • identify current trends in clinical and bench research pertinent to cardiovascular medicine and incorporate this knowledge into understanding of the science of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia.
  • evaluate new therapeutic techniques and diagnostic/interventional procedures in cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesiology.
  • discuss quality of care issues, including applicable metrics, as mechanisms to assist with quality improvement at the learner’s institution and address value-based purchasing programs initiated by the federal government.
  • discuss advances in clinical echocardiography and point-of-care ultrasound and how to use them to improve outcomes in cardiac surgical patients.
  • acquire skills necessary for career progression in cardiovascular and thoracic anesthesia.

Satisfactory Completion
Learners must complete an evaluation form to receive a certificate of completion. Partial credit of individual sessions is not available.

Message from the Scientific Program Chair

Dear Colleagues,

The Scientific Program Committee is thrilled to gather in person at the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists 45th Annual Meeting and Workshops in beautiful Portland, Oregon.  The 2023 conference will celebrate the SCA’s incredible history and also marks the return of the always popular Gala Event!

Hot topics include multidisciplinary approaches to heart failure, an international panel on cardiopulmonary bypass, a mitral valve symposium, a beginner course in structural heart echocardiography and an expert panel on coagulation conundrums.  And of course, we are celebrating the SCA past with a plenary session on the history of the society – learning from the past and recognizing that you are its future.

Sessions include experts from the world of cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, perfusion, critical care medicine, regional anesthesiology, law, and finance. Specific sessions are designed for trainees as the program offers a robust choice of sessions geared toward medical students, residents, and fellows. The workshops are state of the art, hands on opportunities to learn cutting edge technology from true experts in the field.

As always, cutting edge discovery will be presented via abstract presentations, the crowd-pleasing SuperEcho returns, and the PBLDs capture a vast array of topics.

The In-Person conference will once again be the primary draw – and a virtual option to participate is also available!
We are thrilled to welcome you to Portland in 2023!
See you there!
