IU Health ECMO Symposium

This conference will move beyond fundamentals, equipping you to identify early triggers for ECMO referral, recognize delays that compromise survival, and confidently interpret complex hemodynamic and prognostic data. Through a practical, case-driven lens, we will explore patient selection for conventional ECMO and eCPR, optimize timing and workflows for neurologic recovery, and examine evolving strategies in 2026 practice that are redefining survivorship. Attendees will gain actionable insight into mechanical circulatory support escalation, transplant bridging strategies, pharmacokinetic challenges, and advanced management techniques including awake ECMO, mobilization, pregnancy considerations, and point-of-care ultrasound integration. Whether guiding referring providers, counseling families, or managing critically ill patients at the bedside, this conference is designed to strengthen decision-making where it matters most.

This is an Accredited Continuing Professional Development Program.
