Thirty-two doctors and nurses from across Australia participated in the inaugural ECMO training course held 20 \u2013 23 April 2021.<\/h4>\n

An ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine, is similar to a life support machine that supports the function of the heart and lungs for a few hours, days or in some cases weeks, for patients who are typically cared for in a hospital\u2019s intensive care unit (ICU).<\/p>\n

After postponing the event for 12 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, TPCH\u2019s ICU director Dr Jayshree Lavana and team, with assistance from the Medical Education unit, were able to deliver their long-awaited four-day training course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course had a predominantly hands-on program with a representative from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organisation (ELSO) in attendance to ensure the program\u2019s contents met their rigorous standards,\u201d Dr Lavana said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the four days, the program included didactic lectures, equipment training that included circuit priming drills, cannulation and case-based interactive physiology simulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now one of a few centres around the world that can provide this ELSO endorsed training and augments our standing as one of the leading hearts and lung recovery unit\u2019s world-wide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already a well-regarded hospital for heart and lung treatment in the country, Dr Lavana is excited that TPCH will be able to contribute towards improving rates of positive patient outcomes by being able to provide a world-class ECMO training platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course provides great opportunities for clinicians who are wanting to gain knowledge and skills in ECMO management and therefore help improve patient outcomes,\u201d Dr Lavana said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is used for the treatment of our most critically ill patients with cardiac and\/or respiratory failure, who have not responded to maximal conventional therapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis treatment option is potentially life-saving for some of these patients as the ECMO device supports the organs whilst their own heart and\/or lungs recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you missed out this year, the TPCH ECMO course will be held annually with the next scheduled for March 2022.<\/p>\n
