Adult ECMO Specialist Training Didactic Portion
The Adult ECMO Course – Didactic Portion provides comprehensive education on the principles, physiology, and management of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for adult patients. Designed for nurses, perfusionists, respiratory therapists, and critical care professionals, this self-paced, video-based course delivers the essential theoretical foundation required to safely support adult patients on ECMO.
Learners will explore ECMO circuit anatomy, oxygenator and pump mechanics, anticoagulation management, adult patient selection, and hemodynamic integration through clear, structured lectures presented by experienced ECMO specialists. The curriculum focuses on adult cardiac and respiratory failure management using veno-arterial (VA) and veno-venous (VV) ECMO configurations.
This course covers the didactic portion only and does not include a simulation component. Participants seeking full ECMO competency and ELSO certification exam readiness should complete a separate hands-on simulation or clinical practicum in addition to this theoretical training.
