The cardiovascular changes that occur during deep anesthesia in people may be mirrored in animals that hibernate: hypothermia, bradycardia, etc. In one context, these changes occur in a medical environment whereas in the other, they are a part of normal life. This session proposes that knowledge can be gained by pairing the perspectives of a human cardiothoracic anesthesiologist, Dr. Burkhard Mackensen, and a veterinary cardiologist with expertise in hibernating bears, Dr. Lynne Nelson. This is the first webinar offered by the ASE Veterinary Specialty Interest Group.

CME Information: 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit^TM (pending)

In addition to offering 1.0 CME credits, this activity has been developed and registered with ACCME to provide MOC, MOC Part 2, and MOCA 2.0 points in alignment with AMA PRA Category 1 Credit^TM.

Moderator:

• Etienne Côté DVM, DACVIM (Cardiology, SAIM), FACC, FCAHS

Speakers:

• G. Burkhard Mackensen, MD, PhD, FASE
• O. Lynne Nelson, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Cardiology, SAIM)

Learning Objectives:

• Better understand selected cardiovascular aspects of deep hypothermic anesthesia in humans, including echocardiographic aspects 
• Better understand selected cardiovascular aspects of hibernation in large mammals, including echocardiographic aspects 
• Gain additional insights into human cardiovascular physiology through understanding the changes that occur during hibernation, and into veterinary cardiovascular physiology through understanding the changes that occur during human deep hypothermic anesthesia
