| Title | APICS ECMO Course |
| Details | Date: 18 – 19 August 2022 (Thursday and Friday) Time: 0800 – 1715 Venue: MD6 Centre for Health Simulation, 14, Medical Drive, National University of Singapore |
| Synopsis | The highly acclaimed ECMO course at the MD6 lab is currently one of only two courses endorsed by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organisation (ELSO) in Asia. It develops skills for doctors, nurses, perfusionists, and respiratory therapists in the management of patients on ECMO and teaches how to troubleshoot common problems with a simulated learning experience.
The content of the Course includes pre-learning materials as well as overview summaries on ECMO indications and contraindications, ECMO physiology, emerging perspectives, and other aspects of ECMO patient care and management, including anticoagulation, transport, and weaning. The didactic talks are a prelude to comprehensive water drills that cover the A to Z of the circuit and its components, plus common issues faced during day-to-day management of ECMO patients. Learning is further enhanced by smaller group simulation sessions to allow for hands-on education and active instructions on both basic and advanced topics such as circuit checks, equipment components, alarms, pressure monitoring, and emergency trouble-shooting procedures. Faculty and simulation educators will facilitate discussions on team training, clinical critical thinking, and decision making. Participants who attend the course will be assessed online before and after the course and will receive certification directly from ELSO. |
