Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is a life-saving treatment for severe cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. Because of its high com-plexity and low patient numbers, complications such as mortality, bleeding, and infections are high. Simulation-based training with ECMO simulators (ECMO sims) is used to train skills such as ECMO cannulation, circuit monitoring, and complex problem solving. Realism (fidelity) is often assessed subjectively, and it is unclear to what extent low-, mid-, and high fidelity ECMO sims are available.
The aim of this study is to develop an objective framework for ECMO fidelity classification and apply this to available ECMO sims.
