Outline of proposed content:
Cardiogenic shock continues to have a high mortality and morbidity. However, the advent of new technologies and improved patient pathways will impact these outcomes. This session will start with the basics of diagnosis, management and nursing of cardiogenic shock patients before moving onto more advanced treatments available in specialist centres (IABP, Impella, VA ECMO and VADs). These will be followed by a discussion of new networks and models of care being piloted in the UK. We are also delighted to be joined by Lizzi Jordan (Gold Medal winning Paralympic Cyclist) who will share her perspective of surviving cardiogenic shock.
Learning objectives
1) Initial management of cardiogenic shock
2) Nursing management of cardiogenic shock patients
3) Role of Mechanical support in cardiogenic shock
4) How we can develop systems to optimise care for patients with cardiogenic shock
