October 26-27, 2025 2 Day (Neo/Peds) ECMO Collaborative Care and Mobilization Simulation course

October 26-27, 2025 - ECMO Collaborative Care and Mobilization Simulation Course (Neonatal/Pediatric)

This course will be held at the ExtraCorporeal Education Center (EC2) in Murfreesboro, TN, located just 30 miles south of Nashville, Tennessee.

PLEASE NOTE the ADDRESS for EC2 is 2610 Merchants Walk, Murfreesboro, TN 37128

This 2-day course is designed to provide the rehabilitation professional with comprehensive knowledge and practical clinical skills to safely manage the complex Neonatal and Pediatric patient population supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The course will provide a didactic overview of foundational cardiac/pulmonary principles, common critical care support lines/devices, ECMO physiology (VA, VV, and hybrids), and mobilization strategies specific to Neonatal and Pediatric patients on ECMO. The learner will participate in high fidelity simulation experiences designed to reinforce didactic information and hands-on clinical skills.

Course participation is limited to a small number of learners to assure plenty of time for not only individual practice but also for maximal contact hours with the highly skilled and experienced ECMO and Physical Therapy Staff assisting with the training process.

This course is intended for Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists or other healthcare professionals who care for and assist with mobilization of patients requiring ECMO support.

Four ECMO E-learning modules will also be provided for completion prior to the course.

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

Define the clinical implications associated with dysfunction of the pulmonary system
Define clinical implications of dysfunction of the cardiac system
Demonstrate understanding of the implications of drugs during mobilization
Identify the indices of tolerance by the patient of mobilization
Outline the developmental considerations/strategies associated with pediatric patient mobilization while supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Identify the potential long-term sequela of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support with the development of the typical/atypical pediatric patient
Describe the basic history of the development of ECMO
Define the differences between modalities VV and VA ECMO
Examine futility and withdrawal issues as related to ECMO
Define the members of the ECMO mobility team
Discuss potential complications associated with mobilizing on ECMO
