Extracorporeal Life Support In The ICU

Extracorporeal Life Support In The ICU

This intensive 2-day, pre-conference workshop will teach participants about the clinical use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCOR). The workshop consists of a mixture of lectures and hands-on experience with ECMO circuitry, including crisis management. Although the main focus of the workshop is adult respiratory failure, ECMO for cardiac failure and extracorporeal therapies in paediatric critical care will also be covered. To enhance learning, the number of participants will be strictly limited to a maximum of 24 attendees. Book now to secure your place!
