ECMO Boot Camp

Chicago, IL US
June 26, 2018
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a multidisciplinary, critical clinical option that is not often used and whose need is unpredictable. As a result, our multidisciplinary ECMO team is receiving inconsistent bedside exposure to management of ECMO patients. Unfamiliarity with protocols and clinical and emergency management can affect patient care.
 
The goal of this activity is to enhance collaborative, technical, behavioral, and cognitive skills required for ECMO management by providing participants with defined evidence-based practices that will improve patient outcomes.
 

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, perfusionists, and other healthcare professionals interested in employing ECMO is their practices.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the participants will be able to:

  • Select patients for which ECMO would be an appropriate procedure using an evidence-based approach;
  • Identify how to apply the fundamentals of ECMO management across all patient populations;
  • Modify ECMO treatment plans based on patients’ individual clinical parameters;
  • Perform appropriately in medical and mechanical challenges ad emergency situations pertaining to ECMO patients;
  • Identify the function of each component of equipment used during ECMO;
  • Describe common clinical and mechanical challenges and emergencies during ECMO management.
