With the expanded use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in diverse clinical settings, providers are tasked with patient assessment, initiation, management, and weaning of the circuit. This CE offering will walk you through real cases from a high-volume ECMO center to highlight advanced physiology of VA and VV ECMO. A rational approach to patient selection, along with expert tips for ECMO initiation at the bedside, daily management, circuit troubleshooting, and weaning strategies are also discussed in this session.
Highlights of this session include:
- Understand different ECMO configurations and essential circuit components
- Explain the physiology of VA and VV ECMO and apply it to bedside management
- Describe the current evidence for ECMO support in various diseases
