The day

Not “sit, listen and take notes”. We brought ECMO into the room.

🫀

Hands-on simulation

Circuits, cannulas and bedside scenarios that don’t go to plan, on purpose.

🩺

Practical case discussions

Real cases. You decide, then we unpack the reasoning.

🧠

Theoretical simulations

Assess, think, act, reassess, step by step.

In the room, in teams

Questions we worked through

ECMO or no ECMO?VV or VA?Patient problem or circuit problem?Change the pump flow, or the ventilator?Intervene now, or wait?But what if we…?

Sometimes there was more than one reasonable answer. That’s where the real learning happened. ECMO is a team sport.
