Vaping follow- up Webinar

ACS and Atrial Fibrillation and Triple Anti-coagulation Therapy

The above video is an important clinical topic. We have now much more date on D(N)OAC therapy in patients with combined ACS and Afib. Knowledge of the guidelines, although soon to change is important for safe practice in this population. The first slide shown is very interesting and something that was totally unknown during my postgraduate training: anticoagulation and antiplatelet pathways are intimately connected. An example is the effect of thrombin on PAR receptors and platelet activity. Choice, duration  and combination of treatment are presented in this excellent webinar.

The below webinar is probably of less significance to the Intensivist, but again compared to how we used TEE 10 years ago is somewhat baffling.The presented guidelines for use of TEE are helpful.
