Day 1: Dr. Samir Patel, MD, introduces Retrograde Autologous Prime (RAPP), a technique using the patient’s blood to prime the CPB circuit, reducing hemodilution and transfusions, followed by an exploration of Hemoglobin (Hgb) Thresholds, unpacking evidence-based triggers for transfusion versus oxygen delivery needs. Day 2: J. Basha, CCP, showcases the Benefits of Ultrafiltration for precise fluid and solute removal during CPB, paired with a two-hour deep dive by Dr. Patel and Basha on Assessing Patient Fluid Balance and Status, using tools like CVP, TEE, and bioimpedance to master intra-op stability. Day 3: J. Basha, CCP, hosts "Stand Your Ground in the Raging Inferno," an interactive roundtable tying together RAPP, Hgb management, ultrafiltration, and fluid balance, where participants debate real-world challenges and refine their practice through peer and expert insights.
