Course Director: Dr. Abdullah Al Zahrani

Friday, Jan 21st, 2023 (1 day)

1. Understand the basic principles of ECMO.

2. Identify the components of the ECMO circuit.

3. Describe basic and advanced physiology of VV and VA ECMO.

4. Recognize major indications and contraindications of VV and VA ECMO.

5. Identify common problems and major complications of ECMO.

6. Differentiate the interaction ECMO has on various patient organ systems.

7. Comprehensively assess the ECMO patient with appropriate monitoring technology

Intended for Critical Care Physicians, Anesthesiologists, Thoracic Surgeons, Cardiac Surgeons and all interested Allied Health Professionals, This highly immersive hands-on workshop is designed to take the attendees through a complete Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) tour; from the basic physiological and mechanical principles to the latest techniques and technology updates .Through integrated clinical scenarios, providers will apply the knowledge gained towards the initiation and management of ECMO on simulated cases of acute respiratory and hemodynamic failure. Attendees will deepen their understanding of the applied physiology of both venovenous (VV) and venoarterial (VA) ECMO utilizing live tissue and high fidelity Workshop stations and its interaction with conventional life support treatments
