Cardiac Surgery Re-start and Beyond – Optimizing ICU Resource Utilization and Patient Safety

On Friday, June 12, CTSNet hosted a free one-hour live event that included compelling presentations and interactive discussions on how ERAS-related protocols are even more important in the COVID post-surge era.

Within the context of how ERAS helps mitigate the challenges of ICU resource consumption and improves patient safety, especially in a world that has been drastically changed by COVID, Tom Nguyen of University of Texas—Memorial Hermann, moderated a discussion on how to avoid acute kidney injury and achieve chest tube active clearance, among other important post-surgery strategies. The recording of the live event is now available.
