Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• understand etiology and pathophysiology of RV failure in critically ill
patients;
• integrate strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary vascular
disease in critically ill patients;
• interpret common pulmonary artery catheter waveform patterns and learn
about the basics of RV echocardiography in critically ill patients with
pulmonary vascular disease.
This comprehensive course will provide the learner with a strategy to care for
critically ill patients with pulmonary hypertension of various etiologies.
Presenters will provide a framework for understanding pathophysiology,
etiology, hemodynamics, and specific high-risk scenarios using state of the art
evidence and clinical expertise. Common pitfalls and knowledge gaps in caring
for patients with pulmonary vascular and right heart failure will be addressed. By
the conclusion, learners should have a refined approach for the management of
these challenging patients.
