Current Concepts in Extracorporeal Life Support: Medical Management and Cannulation Simulations 2025

Conference Description:

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly being used for refractory cardiopulmonary failure and its use in the adult population is gaining attention in clinical practice. The paucity of randomized clinical trials and guidelines has led to significant practice variation when trying to address the challenge of minimizing risk and maximizing benefit. This course provides the necessary framework for management of a patient requiring ECLS through the use of practical case-based scenarios, high fidelity hands-on simulations, and discussion of current hot topics.

Target Audience
-ECMO specialists, respiratory therapists, nurses, perfusionists and physicians specializing in critical care medicine, pulmonary medicine, emergency medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, and cardiology. Also, those interested in a foundational education in caring for the ECMO patient may benefit from this course.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
-Identify the various forms of ECMO support while explaining their individual roles in clinical practice
-Describe anticoagulation, transfusion, and fluid management during ECMO
-Summarize strategies for pharmacotherapy during ECMO
-Discuss hemodynamic assessment of ECMO patients including application of POCUS and TEE in management
-Discuss principles of ethics to delivery of ECMO care
-Evaluate patient selection criteria for initiating various forms of ECMO (VV, VA, ECPR)
-Analyze the integration of ECMO with other mechanical circulatory support devices
-Develop a comprehensive approach to patient management, considering factors such as indications, contraindications, and potential synergies between modalities
-Assess the optimal cannulation strategy for each scenario to enhance patient outcomes
