This workshop will outline the basic principles of extracorporeal life support made easy by key-experts in the field. During the course delegates will gain a good understanding of ECMO in the following areas: Theoretical concepts, basic physiology and pathophysiology, cardiac and respiratory support and monitoring, alarm settings and monitoring, role of cardiac ultrasound during ECMO, newest technologies, circuits and devices, practical hands-on sessions and simulations.

BRAIN IMAGING
30-50% of CT findings that would affect therapy (and prognosis)
More frequent in older patients and in patients with long ECMO
runs
More frequent in delayed clinical improvement

Neurological complications during ECMO are
frequent
Neuro-monitoring may help in detecting brain
“dysfunction” (perfusion, oxygenation or seizures)
rSO2 and (c)EEG
May help with prognosis
CONCLUSIONS
Near infrared spectroscopy is a non invasive technique which employes the use of near infrared wavelenghts emitted by sensor pads to evaluate regional oxygenation of the organ or tissue monitored. The difference in absorption of these wavelenghts by oxygenated and deoxigenated Hb is calculated,providing the clinician with information regarding the regional oxygen saturation (or saturation of cerebral tissue StcO2. NIRS monitoring is currently used during cardiac surgery, where it has also demostrated to be of great utility and where protocols of neuroprotection NIRS based have also been proposed, but there are only a few datas regarding its use during ECMO in adult population. That’s why we decided to analyse the datas we collected on patients on NIRS during ECMO.
In our study we retrospectively analysed our ECMO register and identified n, 159 patients put on VA ECMO from November 2008 to December 2015. 39 were monitored with NIRS.The reasons why these patients were put on ecmo were: cardiogenic shock 19 pzt, ECPR 14 pts and post heart lung Tx 6 pts. X pts had a femoro femoral cannulation, while x… pts hada central ECMO: The median age was 54 years, median ECMO duration was 6 days ad median NIRS monitoring was 3 days.
