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

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at the Beach: 3rd Annual Current Concepts in the Management of the Adult ECMO Patient 2019 is organized by Mayo Clinic and will be held from Dec 05 - 07, 2019 at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, United States of America. Target Audience: ECMO Specialists, Respiratory Therapists, Nurses, Perfusionists and Physicians specializing in critical care medicine, pulmonary medicine, emergency medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology and anyone who would like a foundational education in caring for the ECMO patient. Course Description: The extra corporeal life support system as rescue therapy for refractory cardiopulmonary failure is increasingly gaining attention in clinical practices. The challenge of this system is how to best utilize it to get the maximum benefits. In the absence of randomized clinical trials and guidelines practice varies widely. Mayo Clinic's course is aimed at practical case based management for the current commonly used indications for life support. Also, it is aimed for refinement of practices for future uniform growth of the system at a national and international level. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
