BCIS OHCA Study Day

Written by

BCIS OHCA Study Day

25 September 2023 | Royal College of Physicians | In-Person

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a significant problem for the NHS. In England in 2019, ambulance services responded to over 80,000 cardiac arrest calls, of which 31,146 subsequently received treatment. Fewer than a third (30.7%) of patients in whom resuscitation was attempted by ambulance staff were admitted to hospital with a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Overall survival to discharge was 9.6%.

The aims of this OHCA Study day are:

  • To promote the BCIS position statements on OHCA, namely, to try to eliminate variance across the UK in the provision of diagnostics, therapeutics and rehab of OHCA patients
  • To bring local policy makers/decision makers (‘Network leads’) together to share best practice and key evidence in the contemporary management of OHCA patients
  • To offer a learning experience to BCIS members through case-based discussion to integrate into their own practice
  • To share knowledge and evidence of local and regional pathways and initiatives (BCIS triage pathway, CARE clinic)

 

The program will consist of:

  • Short lectures
  • ‘Case in a box’ presentations with a provocative clinical scenario, clinical situation slides, echo/angio/CT images, case follow-up/what happened/what drove particular decisions
  • Discussion
  • Trainees’ best case/best abstract

The webinar is aimed at all clinicians involved in the management of patients with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. The webinar will be led by Dr Jonathan Byrne and will use a case-based approach to discuss how and where patients should be referred.

Following the success of the recent Leeds in-person BCIS Coronary Intervention Trainees Course, we would like to invite you to the autumn online meeting.








The focus of the meeting is to provide a solid grounding in numerous aspects of interventional cardiology, some of which are more challenging to gain personal exposure to. 








As well as short very clinically focused presentations, there will be numerous opportunities for interaction with the speakers and other faculty members.










Topics covered include:




    

  • “Unusual Presentations of Coronary Disease”
    • 

  • “How Did I Manage this Complication” 
    • 

  • “What I Do With Patients With Severe Ventricular Impairment“
    • 







We look forward to large numbers of you joining us for what we hope will be an educational and enjoyable meeting.








The e-Course is free to attend and exclusive to members of the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS).
