Venovenous ECMO for Adult Respiratory Failure
An ELSO Course
April 11-14, 2012
Atlanta, GA
This intense four day course is designed for physicians and specialists caring for adult patients with severe acute respiratory failure who may be candidates for Extracorporeal Respiratory Support. Common diagnoses considered for adult VV ECLS support include: H1N1, other viral or bacterial pneumonias, burn and inhalation injury, traumatic lung injury, pulmonary contusion, pulmonary embolism, post-shock or sepsis associated ARDS, or other forms of reversible acute lung injury or illness.
Course content includes indications and contraindications, cannulation
techniques, initiation of support, patient and circuit physiology of VV
ECMO, programmatic design and management, and all aspects of patient
management and decision making for patients on VV ECMO. Complementing
the twelve hour didactic course is an eighteen hour high fidelity
simulation lab with an ECMO circuit utilizing centrifugal pump
technology. All learners will participate in a six hour “ECMO
Essentials 101” simulation workshop before the didactic sessions
to review the fundamentals of bedside ECMO, such as, a circuit check,
equipment components, alarms, pressure monitoring, stopcocks and
pigtails, drawing samples from the circuit, de-airing the circuit, and
hand cranking the pump. The goal is to immerse the learner in
ECMO terminology and concepts before the didactic course to enhance the
learning process. In the conference simulation workshop, small
groups will participate in scenarios reviewing emergency procedures and
highlighting VV physiology with a learner to instructor ratio of 2:1.
Simulation education will allow participants to develop skills in common
bedside procedures and to learn key assessments for decision making by
“hands on” experience. The course is appropriate for centers setting up
new programs, or for existing centers expanding into adult services.
Comments from our past courses:
Great faculty. Small group size is excellent. Content
was pitched at the appropriate level.
Excellent lectures and simulations
The course was excellent. All lectures are very informative and
simulation lab was great. In addition, the dinner with round table
discussions was great. I was able to talk with lots of people and
exchange opinions and getting connections with other institutions.
Thank you!
Excellent. Simulations were very good and very useful.
Brilliant, professional, detailed given with much care, warmth by
excellent people.
Simulation sessions - super! This was great for me. I had no
prior experience, so learned a great deal. Best parts were
simulations and case discussions, which I could never have gotten with
reading alone.
Space is limited to a maximum of 36 participants!
Registration per person is $2,000.00
