Comments: This 2-day comprehensive course provides a deep understanding of adult ECMO with lecture and state of the art high-fidelity simulation training. The course covers basic and advanced understanding of Veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO), Veno-venous ECMO (V-V ECMO), Veno-arterial-venous ECMO (VAV ECMO), Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECCO2R), and Right Ventricular assist device ECMO (RVAD ECMO). Learn patient selection, cannulation techniques, anticoagulation, management, and weaning. Basic physics, physiology, and hemodynamics as pertaining to the ECMO patients are discussed. Circuit build and management are covered in the didactic and simulation scenarios. Training provides interactive learning through case scenarios, teamwork, and debriefing. The simulation lab includes multiple stations with realtime hemodynamic changes, various configurations and effects, realistic circulation, and radiographic cannula placement capability. Attendees learn how to provide safe, successful care while managing a patient with the single provider or specialist model. Topics include best practices, program development and financial impacts. The target audiences are cardiac surgeons, intensivists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, advanced practitioners and perfusionists. Multidisciplinary course instructors include a cardiac surgeon, an ECMO specialist, and a perfusionist whose combined experience spans over four decades in ECMO. ELSO “Redbook” is included with course registration. Space is limited to provide individualized learning experiences.
