Simulation Experience in Perioperative Myocardial Ischemia
- CME: 4.25 Credit Hours
- 2009 Dates: June 10th, September 9th, December 9th (minimum of 3 participants required)
- Time: 10:30 AM to 3 PM (lunch will be served)

Course Overview: Participants will manage a series of adverse cardiovascular events in a simulated perioperative setting. Following each scenario, there will be a short debriefing session. Simulations will be conducted in the Center for Patient Simulation; a facility configured as an operating room with a high fidelity full body simulator located within the School of Medicine at the University of Utah.
Learning Objectives will focus on:
- Developing a differential diagnosis and effective treatment plans in a time sensitive manner.
- Effective communication, controlling chaos, organizing thoughts, and maintaining professionalism during an adverse event.
- Characterizing cardiac function real time, understanding the capabilities and limitations of standard ASA monitors, echocardiography, and invasive monitoring to detect sources of ischemia.
