Learn to safely reduce post-operative morbidity and reduce ICU/hospital length of stay by utilizing Nationwide Children’s MERCURY approach to early recovery after surgery. Immerse your team in a two-day hands-on experience to gain confidence in achieving reliable and safe intraoperative extubation, lowered device days and reduced blood transfusion for congenital heart surgery. Develop your multidisciplinary teams’ coordination through live cases and simulations that will allow you to take home knowledge and skills to achieve best patient outcomes by utilizing Nationwide Children’s MERCURY approach.
Intended Audience
We encourage the attendance of cardiologists, intensivists, nurses, advanced practice providers, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists and perfusionists.
Topics Will Include:
Demonstrating Nationwide Children’s MERCURY approach to early discharge for congenital heart surgery patients including:
- Enhanced best practices targeting successful team dynamics
- Learn from national and international thought leaders in key areas of perioperative care to achieve improved outcomes and patient/family satisfaction
- Build confidence through live patient journeys that showcase practical benefits for patients
- Perfusion simulations and intra-operative team simulations
- Clinical pathways and benchmarks to transform outcomes
- Methods for reduced blood transfusion for congenital heart surgery and improving interoperative extubation success
- Multidisciplinary risk mitigation through the PROMISE Program to achieve safe surgery when utilizing Nationwide Children’s MERCURY approach.
*Opportunity to present your center’s research supporting early recovery after pediatric cardiac surgery (abstract submission date to be announced).
