Offered as a Critical Care Congress precourse, this course can be taken as part of your Congress experience or as a standalone educational opportunity.

Advance your approach to managing complex critical illness through an interactive, case-based exploration of advanced pharmacologic, mechanical, and extracorporeal support strategies. Using a syndrome-based framework, expert faculty will discuss diagnostic evaluation, medication selection, hemodynamic support, and multidisciplinary decision-making across a range of critical care conditions.

Through practical case discussions, examine management strategies for cardiogenic shock, right ventricular failure, pulmonary embolism, ARDS, severe sepsis, alcohol withdrawal, acute liver failure, and other high-acuity clinical scenarios. Gain evidence-based insights that can be immediately applied to the care of critically ill patients requiring advanced support.

The course includes:

  • Half-day of in-person education
  • Up to 3.75 accredited continuing education credits and maintenance of certification points

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize clinical syndromes associated with advanced critical illness and identify patients who may benefit from escalated support strategies
  • Apply evidence-based pharmacologic approaches to the management of complex critical care conditions
  • Evaluate indications, risks, and benefits of extracorporeal and mechanical support therapies
