Acute cardiac care jeopardy
This session is designed to have fun while playing an interactive game whereby a host is asking questions to three competing teams, based on different categories of heart health ranging from haemodynamics and arrhythmias to cardiogenic shock, renal and pulmonary issues. Go to session programme
Cardiogenic shock escape room
This session will highlight the key aspects of multidisciplinary management of cardiogenic shock, using a game-based format to incorporate key aspects of the critical care cardiology management of patient with this condition. Learners will be exposed to real-world, rapid pace, high acuity situations requiring the medustudent.com use of timely and accurate decision-making skills, while fostering appropriate team dynamics and communication.
This workshop is repeated three times during the congress: Go to session programme.
