ECMO EDUCATION & TRAINING
At ECMO PRN we believe the success of any ECMO program starts with ECMO education and training. The key to maintaining high quality of care of this very specific patient population is continued ECMO education focused on best practices and analysis of current research and data, therefore we offer customized classes to meet the needs of any organization or individual practitioner.

Our ECLS / ECMO education and training courses are designed and taught by our content experts. After completing our ECLS / ECMO course, students will understand the principles of ECMO, how to set up and trouble shoot an ECMO system as well as how to manage an ECMO patient.
VAD
Our Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) Class is designed and taught by our content experts. We can customize the education to focus on post-operative implant patient care or emergency management during a cardiac arrest. The principles and concepts that we teach pertaining to VADs can be applied to any VAD currently available to patients. At ECMO PRN we believe it is important to understand that a VAD is one of the options your patient may have after the successful implant of ECMO.
Cannulation Techniques for Implantation
Working with our vendors we offer classes geared toward physicians for the insertion of the specific cannulas necessary for the implantation of ECMO. The foundation of the class is based upon the Seldinger Technique and the use of ultrasound to ensure accurate and safe insertion on the cannulas.
