This ESICM Advanced Course in Haemodynamics will integrate and simulate at advanced level a management plan for the patient advanced monitoring: circulatory failure, fluid accumulation syndrome, preload responsiveness.
To do so, participants will get immersed in realistic clinical scenarios using different methodologies including Virtual Reality and practical simulations.
As a participant – you still have access to the virtual classroom on the ESICM ACADEMY

To assess the predominant mechanism responsible for the shock state
To evaluate appropriate investigations for the patient in shock with regard to
Systemic and microcirculation
Tissue oxygenation
Fluid management and fluid resuscitation
Appropriate hemodynamic monitoring
Vasopressors, inotropes and adjunctive therapies
To appraise indications and choice of hemodynamic monitoring
To evaluate of the appropriate use of ultrasound in diagnosis, monitoring and ongoing management of shocked patients
To integrate ultrasound findings with other clinical and haemodynamic findings
To evaluate the appropriate use of advanced, invasive haemodynamic monitoring
To integrate findings of advanced haemodynamic monitoring with clinical parameters and ultrasound
Programme Content
The programme will integrate and simulate the management plan for the patient with shock, with the following specific milestones:
initial evaluation of haemodynamics in septic shock
assessment of tissue oxygenation
perform initial ultrasound assessment
perform advanced haemodynamic monitoring
evaluate the need for re-resuscitation
evaluate and manage fluid overload
evaluate heart-lung interactions during ARDS with echo
evaluate and manage heart-lung interactions during ARDS in practice
manage refractory septic shock
Requirements to join the course
Participants should have at least a basic understanding of, and preferably clinical experience with, invasive arterial pressure monitoring and derived variables, transpulmonary thermodilution, continuous cardiac output monitoring by pulse contour analysis, pulmonary artery catheterization and critical care ultrasound.
Target
Intensivists who have completed Level 1 & 2
Intensivists seeking a thorough approach in Haemodynamics
Senior intensivists wanting an advanced level deep dive in specific topics of Haemodynamics
Accreditation
An application has been made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event.
