Comment: This workshop can be booked either separately or in combination with attending the 13th International Fluid Academy Days (#IFAD2023, Nov 23-25)
Learning objective: 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.
Background: The BEACH programme provides a full-day, interactive course on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) training. The course uses a variation of theoretical presentations, practical and simulation sessions presented by an international faculty. It is the only course in Belgium to be endorsed by the International Fluid Academy and has previously been accredited by the EACCME for 8 points. The course iincludes all course materials, food and drinks at the Hilton Old Town, Groenplaats 32, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet, greet and ask questions regarding all topics presented.
Hands-on ECMO equipment training Delegates will have the opportunity to have hands-on training in small break-out groups with ECMO equipment. Delegates will experience practicing insertion of cannulas on a mannekin, circuit surveillance, monitoring, alarm settings, simulations and trouble-shooting.
Social Media coverage The official Symplur hashtag of the meeting is #BEACH2023. Chair of SoMe team is Ms Marta Velia Antonini. #BEACH2023: Healthcare Conferences.
