Extracorporeal Support for Respiratory and Cardiac Failure in Adults 2025

Extracorporeal Support for Respiratory and Cardiac Failure in Adults is organized by American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and will be held from Dec 12 - 13, 2025 at American College Of Chest Physicians, Glenview, Illinois, United States of America.

Description:
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is rapidly growing. In this course, internationally recognized expert educators in ECMO management will teach patient selection, ECMO circuit troubleshooting, and complex management principles for patients on ECMO.

What you'll learn:

• Techniques to manage and liberate patients from ECMO for severe respiratory and cardiac failure
• Management strategies for sedation and mobilization of patients on ECMO, including handling complications like bleeding, infections, and neurologic problems
• Hands-on skills for ultra- lung- protective ventilation for venovenous (VV)- and venoarterial (VA)-ECMO
• How to recognize left ventricular overdistension in VA-ECMO
• Approaches for decompressing the left ventricle in VA-ECMO and managing right ventricle (RV) failure in VV-ECMO.
