Improved my comfort level with joint reduction. Better understanding of LVADs and how to troubleshoot them. Practice up-to-date trauma care based on current transfusion guidelines.
I particularly will benefit was the review of reading head CTs (great systematic approach!!!), RV dysfunction, and smart approaches to patient satisfaction while maintaining integrity of medical care.
I learned a lot about the deeper workings of cardiac devices that will change my preop management of said devices. I will bring numerous topics about vigilance and substance abuse to my residents to improve their knowledge. I will use more adjuncts to anesthesia. I will be much more aware of transmural pressure when taking care of cerebral aneurysm patients.
There were numerous articles provided within this lecture that allows a solid background for me to incorporate new EBP into the clinical arena. Most notably, I feel more comfortable with most recent HTN periop guidelines and feel more knowledgeable about my care as well as physiology understanding for pulmonary HTN patients.
All the lectures were interesting, engaging and worthwhile. Some of the topics/headings were not quite what I thought they were going to be, but overall the takeaways ended up being quite satisfactory.
Enjoyed listening to lectures on performing non-cardiac surgery for VAD patients and anesthetic considerations. Multiple high-yield topics on OB Anesthesia as well.
The lectures and education provided during this conference gives me a better understanding how to treat/ manage OB and cardiac patients. Specifically LVAD, TAVR patients. I will also bring back to my organization ideas to help identify challenges with burnout and managing difficult personalities.
I would like to share my new and updated knowledge. This seminar was really wonderful.
NWAS always brings excellent educators who give a clean factual and easy to understand presentation. Already booking the next one.
Enjoyed the presenters, very entertaining, and no barriers to my learning or implementation of what I learned.
I enjoyed the discussion of OB hemorrhage, pediatric dosing & prep techniques, and cardiac management patients. All of these scenarios will be applicable in daily practice.
I learned a ton that I will be able to take back to my practice. I have to say that in a dozen years of attending CME, this was my favorite. I loved the speakers and found each of them engaging and personable in their own ways. I would attend this conference again in a heart beat and hope others can live up to it.
I think the patient management and clinically relevant information will be great to take back and implement in my practice!
The most important thing I decide when choosing seminars is content -- [NWAS] has always met and exceeded my expectations with course content and knowledgable UPDATED info. This is truly appreciated and why I keep coming back. Thanks!
