An introduction to FACTS-Care - the foundation behind CardioVascular Thoracic Crititcal Care Society
Foundation for the Advancement of Cardiothoracic Surgical Care (FACTS-Care)
FACTS-Care was founded to take CVT Critical Care to the next level of excellence by providing multi-disciplinary educational activities to train CVT Critical Care professionals and promote medical practice safety.
FACTS-Care was created in response to major challenges in the care of CVT patients:

A rapid evolution in critical care concepts, pharmacology and technology.
|
-
|
The unique physiologic states and complications experienced by CVT patients
|
-
|
The aging CVT patient population with more advanced primary disease and associated conditions.
|
-
|
Major changes in surgical techniques and technology
|
-
|
Newly-adopted national regulations limiting house staff work hours that accentuate the shortage of critical care staff.
|
-
|
The difficulty in providing comfortable
care with patients subjected to multiple negative sensory inputs
including monitoring sounds, alarms, technical language, and procedures.
|
-
|
The increasing number of disciplines included in the CVT critical care team.

Well-documented compromises in medical practice safety.
