ForwardCurrent Concepts in Extracorporeal Life Support: Medical Management and High-Fidelity Cannulation Simulations - 2024
This course offers Live (in-person) and Livestream (virtual) attendance options
Course Co-Directors: Gregory J. Schears, M.D., Pramod K. Guru, M.B.B.S., Sanjay Chaudhary, M.B.B.S., and Troy G. Seelhammer, M.D.
December 4 - 7, 2024 - Mayo Clinic - Jacksonville, Florida
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.

- 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
