State of the Science Grand Round: Applied Physiology for Management of the Hemodynamically Unstable Patient
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear distinguished professor and intensivist Jean-Louis Vincent, M.D., Ph.D., discuss the important role hemodynamic monitoring plays in the management of acutely ill patients. In recent years, interest in alternative monitoring systems has surged and there are now many different systems available to clinicians.
Dr. Vincent will discuss an organized approach to the hemodynamic support of the hemodynamically unstable patient and the benefits this approach has to clinical outcomes.
