ForwardRP2003A Pediatric Neonatal and Adult ECMO Course
COURSE POSTPONEMENT- NEW AUGUST DATES!
Amid safety concerns with COVID-19, we made the difficult decision to postpone this course. Thank you for your patience as we worked with the course directors and UT Southwestern Simulation Center to establish new dates and finalize the logistics of moving your registrations to the new course dates. The new dates for the course are:
Monday, August 17, 2020- Wednesday, August 19, 2020
We look forward to having you participate in our course in August 2020. In the meantime, please contact Ericka.harden-dews@utsouthwestern.edu if you have additional questions or concerns.
This course will include indications and contraindications for ECMO, patient and ECMO circuit physiology, cannulation techniques, anticoagulation, and other aspects of ECMO patient care and management. There will be 12 hours of didactics and 9 hours of small group hands-on simulation sessions to provide instruction on topics such as ECMO circuit check, alarms, pressure monitoring, how to connect CVVH and plasmapheresis circuits to the ECMO circuit. We will also utilize clinical case scenarios, and technological resources to facilitate team training and clinical critical thinking and decision making. The course is appropriate for centers new to ECMO or those wanting to expand their expertise in neonatal, pediatric and adult ECMO.
