Training Experience:
One-Day Format:
A single training day begins with a review of objectives and introduction to your existing PV loop setup, followed by a seminar on ideal surgical approaches and data collection best practices. After lunch, participants shift to hands-on demonstrations involving either open-chest, closed-chest, or both depending on your lab’s primary goals and protocols.
Two-Day Format:
Day one combines comprehensive seminars with guided practice on the closed-chest procedure. Day two starts with a recap, then moves to the open-chest procedure and concludes with a customized session. This allows your team to focus on additional skills such as surgical techniques, data analysis, or any other high-priority topic.
Cost:
Starting at $4,975 USD
