TEN-360: Cardiac Emergencies + ECG Interpretation

In this exciting workshop we explore a range of clinical cases that illustrate the presentation and emergency management of cardiac emergencies including myocardial ischaemia, pulmonary oedema, pulmonary embolism, arrhythmias and cardiac syncope. Core skills training during the workshop examines the set up, pressures and practical application of noninvasive ventilation for the management of pulmonary oedema and the use of synchronised cardioversion and pacing for management of cardiac arrhythmias. By the end of the two days you should be confident to recognise and initiate emergency management for the majority of cardiac emergencies you will encounter in your clinical practice. 

ECG interpretation is a major component of the workshop and identifies the ECG features of myocardial ischaema (including an introduction to recent  and less well recognised patterns) and a practical approach to the ECG diagnosis of arrhythmias. We cannot promise to make you an ECG expert but you will certainly be more skilled in recognising the clues to myocardial ischaemia and be able to narrow down the differential diagnosis of arrhythmia on the ECG.
