As a physical therapist working in the critical care setting, I can remember the barrage of questions in my head  when we first started discussing mobilization of patients supported by ECMO:

• “what happens if these lines come out!?”
• “where are those lines going?”
• “how is the machine supporting the patient?”
• and most importantly, “Is this safe?”

Well, I’m excited to announce a course that aims to answer all these questions AND more! We’ll fill a day and a half with lecture and discussion of cardiac and pulmonary structure/function, critical care lines/support devices, and ECMO foundations/principals.

Learners also engage multiple HIGH FIDELITY SIMULATION SCENARIOS with debriefing to reinforce clinical knowledge and application.

We’ve partnered with an amazing company that specializes in ECMO education and designed a course specifically for the rehab professional managing patients supported on ECMO. Registration is open now!
