  • Norwood Part 1: Pre-Operative Physiology & Management with Dr. Greg Yurasek

    Dr. Yurasek is a graduate of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He completed his pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital of Boston followed by a pediatric cardiology fellowship also at Boston Children’s and a PICU fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is now a CICU attending and the director of critical care simulation at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. 


    Objectives for this series:
    1. Understand the physiologic considerations that influence preoperative care in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU).
    2. Recall the goals and general steps of operative repair.
    3. Recognize the key information provided in post-op handoff that will affect management.
    4. Recognize important postoperative complications and develop an approach to their management.
    5. Develop a mental framework of the expected postoperative CICU course with a focus on barriers to ICU discharge.
