Neo/Peds Simulation Course

The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) is hosting a Neo/Peds Simulation Course at their headquarters in Ann Arbor, United States. This course is part of ELSO's commitment to providing essential training and education in the field of extracorporeal life support (ECLS). ELSO is an international consortium that includes healthcare institutions, researchers, and industry partners, dedicated to improving patient outcomes through education, guidelines, and a comprehensive registry. The organization strives to support those delivering ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) therapies, especially in critical situations like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and COVID-19.The Neo/Peds Simulation Course is designed to enhance the practical skills of professionals working with neonatal and pediatric patients requiring ECMO support. Participants will engage in hands-on training that emphasizes best practices and advances in ECLS therapies. This course is reflective of ELSO's broader mission, which includes developing educational resources such as the ECMO Specialist Training Manual, now in its 5th edition, and various continuing education opportunities for medical professionals. ELSO also recognizes centers that excel in delivering high-quality ECLS through their Award for Excellence in Life Support, which highlights the importance of evidence-based practices and ongoing staff education. This event is a key opportunity for practitioners to connect, learn, and collaborate in the rapidly evolving field of life support therapies.
