Acting Director (Medical) PETS Dr Bennett Sheridan MBBS, BMedSci (Hons), FRACP, FCSANZ, FCICM Dr Bennett Sheridan is a Paediatric Cardiologist and Paediatric Intensivist at the Royal Children’s Hospital and specializes in critical care cardiology and the provision of long term mechanical circulatory support. Dr Sheridan will talk about the current era where adult survivors of congenital heart disease now outnumber those receiving Paediatric care, patients with varying complexity of congenital lesions contribute to a changing patient population requiring intensive care resources. He will also discuss the long term outcomes of congenital heart disease, models of care and the complex adult congenital heart disease patients with a Fontan circulation.

He sits on the ANZICS Safety and Quality Committee and is an Honorary Fellow at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne. His latest research was a randomised controlled trial involving the addition of nitric oxide to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit versus standard bypass in paediatric congenital heart surgery with low cardiac output syndrome as the primary outcome. The study won the American Heart Association award for outstanding research in cardiovascular disease of the young and has recently been published. Dr James will talk about the systemic inflammatory response to cardiac surgery and how children and adults differ in their physiological response. He will also discuss strategies to modulate the inflammatory response such as the use of steroids, ischaemic preconditioning and the role of nitric oxide.
