Cardiovascular Critical Care
This interactive session will build on the evidence-based advances in the practice of modern cardiac critical care medicine as illustrated on the first two days through cases, posters, and trivia to test knowledge and skills.  Participants will gain clear strategies to immediately improve their practices. The session will highlight cutting edge delivery, clinical practice, medical research, and quality improvements to help providers improve their practices. 

Resuscitation Teams in Cardiac Critical Care   Registration is limited for this session. 
Effective team communication is crucial in the resuscitation of critically ill cardiac patients. This interactive session will provide key pearls and pitfalls to share with your team members for optimal team development for successful resuscitation outcomes. Workshop leaders will facilitate collaborative analysis for building high-performing teams through leadership, role clarity under pressure and crisis communications in a time sensitive environment. The session will be led by a team from Mission Critical Teams Institute.
