6th Scientific Meeting of the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) joins the 18th Annual International Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease

6th Scientific Meeting of the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) joins the 18th Annual International Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease is organized by World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) and will be held from Jul 22 - 26, 2018 at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is for cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiologists, cardiac sonographers, cardiac intensivists, cardiac anesthesiologists, perfusionists, PAs, ARNPs, RNs, and cardiac program administrators. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 33 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

course Description :
This event will bring together 1000 cardiac professionals from all over the world for lectures by preeminent speakers, late-breaking research updates, clinical abstracts, and networking opportunities with global cardiovascular experts in public health. The scientific program will include tracks for Cardiac Surgery, Cardiology/Fetal, Anesthesia, Critical Care, Nursing, Perfusion, Administration and Post-Graduate Training.

The optional surgical skills labs on Thursday, July 26, featuring 3D-printed hearts will provide unique opportunities to improve surgical skills on a variety of anomalies. Participants will be able to take their 3D-printed hearts back to their home institutions for future reference.

Conference Objectives are:
• Evaluate the treatment options for patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts, based on current research presented at this conference.
• Prepare an appropriate plan of care for patients with patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts, based on clinical presentation.
• Describe the echocardiographic features of patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts.
• Formulate an educational plan to enhance the skills and knowledge of the multi-disciplinary team in caring for patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts.
• Correctly identify cardiac anatomy and the cardiac morphology of patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts through examination of morphological specimens of human hearts with these lesions.
• Define ethical issues related to congenital cardiac disease, especially in the domain of patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts.
• Discuss the challenges of caring for adults with the congenital cardiac disease, especially in the domain of patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts.
• Describe the clinical assessment, ICU management, and implications for education of the patient and family for e patients with hypoplastic (small) ventricles and patients with functionally univentricular hearts.
• Apply strategies to standardize practice and care across institutions.
• Describe strategies for collaborative multi-institutional research within a heart institute model.
