| Workshop Title | Epicardial Pacing and Pacemaker Troubleshooting |
| Date | 19th August 2023, Saturday |
| Time | 1230-1400hr |
| Venue | Suntec Convention Centre, Hall 404 – Meeting Room 1 |
| Introduction | Epicardial pacing post cardiac surgery is an important factor in maintaining adequate haemodynamics in the post operative period. Troubleshooting common pacing problems effectively requires knowledge of all pacing issues which could potentially be encountered, and the actions required to maintain patient safety. Participants will have tactile experience with epicardial pacing box manipulation whilst connected to a simulator. |
| Objectives | The focus of this mini workshop is on the delivery of knowledge related to common epicardial pacing issues encountered in post operative Cardiothoracic patients. On completion of this workshop participants will be able to
-Discuss and understand Pacing box safety -Discuss common pacing problems and how they can affect patient safety and stability -Identify these problems on a patient monitor -Correctly manipulate a pacing box to resume safe pacing |

| Workshop Title | Mechanical Ventilation – Recognising Patient Ventilator Interactions |
| Date | 19th August 2023, Saturday |
| Time | 1230-1400hr |
| Venue | Suntec Convention Centre, Hall 404 – Meeting Room 1 |
| Introduction | Most ICU providers aim to use lung protective ventilation settings for their mechanically ventilated patients, but when the patient’s own respiratory effort is also interacting with the ventilator, these settings may become harmful. This workshop aims to enhance ICU providers’ understanding on patient-ventilator interactions, focusing on recognition and management of dyssynchrony through discussion on physiological principles and use of high fidelity simulated lung models. |
| Objectives | 1. Participants will be able to explain and assess basic physiological aspects of patient ventilation interactions.
2. Participants will be able to recognize and troubleshoot common patient ventilator dyssynchrony. 3. Participant will be able to describe determinants of respiratory drive and its importance in during mechanical ventilation. |
