Project description:
This is a part of the ongoing BSC webinar series looking back at how we have gotten to where we are at and the prospects for future activities; this time focusing on ECMO to bridge to transplant.
Need:
Timely access to Lung transplantation remains an issue with many waiting years for a life-saving lung transplant. Occasionally, lung function may rapidly degenerate necessitating a super-urgent transplant. In such cases, and to avoid further organ failure due to a lack of appropriate lung function, ECMO may be used as a bridge to transplantation; enabling additional time to identify a suitable donor. This webinar will focus on various aspects of this process.
Educational objectives:
Reflect on the emergence of this intervention and the impact it has on patients’ lives. Discuss existing scientific and clinical challenges.
Programme:
- Introduction and welcome – William Scott, UK
- Super-urgent Lung transplant, clinical challenges and ECMO as a solution – Lucas Hoyos, Spain
- Real-world challenges to patient care during extended ECMO awaiting transplant – Leen Vercaemst, Belgium
- Patient perspective – TBC
- Psychological management during ECMO for transplant – Joanne Fowles, UK
- Discussion and Q&A – All
