Abstract

For patients with severe cardiac and/or pulmonary failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is a life-saving treatment. Complications such as mortality, bleeding, and infections are high, and are strongly related to annual ECMO case volume.
Simulating ECMO practice with simulation-based training on simulators (ECMO sims) help to train technical skills as ECMO cannulation, and non-technical skills as complex decision making. ECMO sims with a high level of realism (high-fidelity) are currently lacking. Our EduECMO project strives to develop such a high-fidelity patient-centred educational ECMO simulator, where training needs should be investigated.
The aim of this work is to obtain expert input on ECMO practices and ECMO sim training needs to optimize EduECMO sim design.
