This workshop will outline the basic principles of extracorporeal life support made easy by key-experts in the field. During the course delegates will gain a good understanding of ECMO in the following areas: Theoretical concepts, basic physiology and pathophysiology, cardiac and respiratory support and monitoring, alarm settings and monitoring, role of cardiac ultrasound during ECMO, newest technologies, circuits and devices, practical hands-on sessions and simulations.

RESPIRATORY ECLS
VV-ECMO functions as an artificial
lung working in addition to the
patient's own failing lungs
To maintain gas exchanges
To allow protective ventilation
To allow lung rest
To allow lung recovery
To gain time for LTx

The best perfusion flow
Off-load the left ventricle
Almost no pulmonary edema
Very invasive (chest opening)
Bleeding
Infection
Vascular injury (Aortic dissection)
Significant risk of thrombosis
CARDIAC ECLS
VA-ECMO
Central Cannulation
#13: Central cannulation when oxygenation is not needed anymore two circuits with cannulation of heart chamber (usually apex but also atria)
excellent means of unloading the heart and maintaining the blood flow via pulmonary vasculature
#14: Without the oxygenator it would be considered as a temporary VAD
Femoral requires often a reperfusion catheter to avoid limb ischemia
But also axillary or carotid
