A complete cardiac learning pathway

When performed effectively, echocardiography can provide vital information about cardiovascular function to the cardiologist or cardiac anesthetist, potentially impacting patient safety and outcome.

Learning echocardiography thoroughly involves practical probe manipulation skills, ultrasound image interpretation and exposure to a wide variety of cardiac pathologies that rarely present in the clinic, posing challenges to on-patient learning.

A novel combined approach to simulation training in cardiac anesthesia/surgery in Alberta

The University of Alberta has developed a novel training program using HeartWorks Transthoracic/Transesophageal Echocardiography (TTE/TEE) to simulate perioperative cardiac anesthesia/surgical scenarios. Exposure to rare but catastrophic surgical incidents in a controlled, realistic environment allows trainees to take a phased approach to scenario management without the stress of a high-stakes environment.
