7th EuroELSO Congress on ECMO-ECLS

Meeting aims at two main goals. We intend to bring together specialists interested in advanced intensive care and help to provide a platform for sharing knowledge and gaining experiences with refractory hemodynamic and respiratory clinical states. All aspects of extracorporeal support will be covered and discussed. Intensivists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, paediatric and neonatology specialists, perfusionists and ICU nurses should look forward to finding many inspirations to aid their everyday care and medical routines. Ethicists, health care administrators, logistic specialists and basic research scientists will have an opportunity to discuss the impact of new technologies on health care systems and new directions in research.

The main congress will provide three core parallel educational tracks focused on adult, pediatric and perfusion/nursing topics related to extracorporeal therapies. Preconference in depth sessions will be comprised of an animal lab workshop to demonstrate how to set up an experimental protocol, neonatal and paediatric ECMO course from A to Z, and meet the expert interactive case based discussions.
