Introduction	This one-day educational symposium will focus on the most up-to-date techniques, benefits, applications, and appropriate uses of ECMO in the adult patient. Lectures will be given by nationally recognized experts in the field who will address the current clinical practice, newest technologies, recent evolution within the field, and the future uses of ECMO devices in adult patients. In addition, a small group of attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a wet lab to receive hands-on ECMO training. The remainder of attendees will observe the procedure as it is beamed live into the conference room. The overall program format will cover all major areas of ECMO and successful management of patients receiving this treatment. Click here to download a copy of the complete program agenda.
