Matt Warhoover, CCP discusses how to manage resources in a high resource need situation, like the COVID pandemic. This event is approved for 1.2 Category 1 CEU by ABCP.

Faculty: Matt Warhoover, CCP

The Vanderbilt Faculty team will discuss Single Ventricle physiology and how this affects perfusion technique during surgical correction. Our Journal Club explores alternative techniques to long acting cardioplegia for myocardial protection during open cardiac surgery. Our Knowledge Nuggets segment explores elevated Ammonia levels and what this may mean in the ECMO patient.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Department of CV Surgery: Faculty Forum: Single Ventricle Physiology

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club: Alternative technique of long acting cardioplegia delivery results in less hemodilution “Preparation of del-Nido cardioplegia and its delivery technique can cause significant hemodilution. The resultant effects from hemodilution are largely proportionate to the use of a dual circuit. We opted for a custom-disposable single cardioplegia circuit instead of a dual circuit.”

Commentary: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me—preparing for acute aortic emergencies and the next wave of the COVID-19 pandemic How has delayed care from COVID created serious cardiac emergencies?

“The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has completely altered the healthcare landscape within a very short period owing to the rapid influx of patients requiring medical attention related to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection displacing patients needing other types of medical attention. Entire hospital systems were restructured to accommodate the intensive needs of patients with COVID-19, and hospital capacity was quickly overwhelmed in terms of actual space and the necessary personnel. Although routine care and elective procedures could be safely postponed, the resource-intensive pandemic limited the ability of hospitals to easily manage critical medical conditions such as acute aortic emergencies. The limitations put both patients and healthcare workers at risk by the potential for nosocomial transmission of the virus. In this issue of JTCVS, Mehta et al1 have presented a consensus algorithm for triaging and treating patients presenting with acute aortic emergencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The algorithm aims to minimize the risk of exposure and transmission when treating patients in this emergent setting. The lessons learned in this pandemic should prepare us for a potential second wave or any future pandemics.  – Link to article here
