Course Description: 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. Learning Objectives: Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Identify patient populations that may benefit from ECLS (including ECPR) • Formulate which cannulation strategy will achieve optimal success • Describe anticoagulation, transfusion and fluid management during ECLS • Summarize strategies to treat pain, agitation and delirium in the ECLS patient • Describe and simulate the use of echocardiography in hemodynamic assessment of ECLS patients • Discuss ethical dilemmas during the care of ECLS patients Meeting Location: Thursday, December 5, 2019 - Friday, December 6, 2019 Ponte Vedra Inn and Club 200 Ponte Vedra Blvd Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082 Saturday, December 7, 2019 Mayo Clinic Simulation Center, Stabile Building 8th Floor 4500 San Pablo Rd S Jacksonvill, FL 32224
