Workshop Description: Cardiovascular specialists often manage patients in critical care settings without having undergone dedicated ICU training. This high-yield session distills essential ICU knowledge into an engaging, case-based format tailored for clinicians caring for cardiac patients. Using real-world scenarios and an expert panel, attendees will walk through the ICU journey of two patients—from admission through stabilization, ventilator management, renal support, and ventilator weaning to discharge—leaving with practical insights they can apply immediately.
