MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT UNDER VENO-VENOUS AND VENO-ARTERIAL ECMO

Share the training

Description

We train more than 500 nurses and doctors every year on this machine. The ECMO or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is a resuscitation technique that allows temporary palliation of organs such as the heart or lungs. The most commonly used are veno-venous ECMO (VV) and veno-arterial ECMO (VA). They can be placed in peripheral or central locations. Our ECMO training is one of the references in France.

Educational objectives

  • To master the basic principles of the physiology and physiopathology of a patient on veno-venous ECMO
  • To master the different indications of veno-venous ECMO
  • Master the nursing supervision of a patient under ECMO
  • Prevent the risks and manage the potential complications of an assisted patient
  • Prepare the transport of an ECMO patient
  • Learn how to put an ECMO patient on a prone position

During the training, the participants learn how to:

  • Apply one’s knowledge to understand the interaction between the patient and the ECMO
  • Manage the ECMO implantation
  • Manage the ECMO implantation
  • Analyse, and understand the alarms coming from the device. Then, react according to the situation.
  • Be in a real and practical situation through the ECMO simulation.
  • React the right way during a trouble shooting
