FACET ECMO Symposium 2024

April 27th | 7:30am-5:00pm

The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano, David L Brown Auditorium
1100 Allied Drive – Plano, TX 75093

Come join us for our second system conference live at Baylor Scott and White The Heart Hospital Baylor or virtual to learn about extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ECMO uses advanced technology to provide temporary blood circulation and respiratory support in cases of life-threatening heart or lung failure while these organs recover from injury, illness or a surgical procedure. ECMO can also be used as a life-supporting, short-term bridge to a heart transplant or lung transplant. The machine replaces the function of the heart and lungs from a few hours up to multiple days, depending on the condition and progress.

Upon completion of this activity, the attendee should be able to:

• Discuss global trends in ECMO utilization
• Understand ECMO for the management of infectious diseases
• Establish and optimize Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation program
• Discuss the ethics behind ECMO
• Understand the importance of a progressive mobility ECMO program
• Understand the rapid development of new ECMO technologies
