Abstract Introduction Adult and pediatric ECMO procedures have been increasingly established as conventional life-saving modalities in critical care services across the world. Since 2017, a multidisciplinary team of program advisors..
Read MoreAbstract Simulation based learning is becoming a crucial part in ECMO education. Simulation can provide a safe but also very realistic learning experience depending on simulation fidelity. In our institution..
Read MoreCurious about why we chose to develop a video game instead of a mere online simulator? We receive this question frequently, so let us share with you a few compelling..
Read MoreYour Ultimate Guide to Get to Know virCPB Welcome to the world of virCPB, where education meets gaming to revolutionize the way perfusion students and perfusionists train and master their..
Read MoreAbstract Over the past 10 years, there has been an increase in the use of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) as a tool to support and enhance learning in health profession programs. In..
Read MoreAbstract Over the past 10 years, there has been an increase in the use of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) as a tool to support and enhance learning in health profession programs. In..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high risk, low-volume technology. Infrequency of this technology and associated complications may translate to unfamiliarity of identification and management of potentially..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives There is little knowledge about which elements of health care simulation are most effective in improving patient safety. When empirical evidence is lacking, a consensus statement can help..
Read MoreAbstract Background There is limited literature exploring the relationship between simulation training and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) outcomes. We examined whether there was an association between the implementation of an training program and..
Read MoreAbstract The utilization of simulators for training is increasing in the professions associated with cardiac surgery. Before applying these simulators to high-stakes assessment, the simulator's output data must be validated...
Read MoreAbstract Perfusion education programs use simulation to provide students with clinical skills prior to entering the operating room. To teach the psychomotor execution of skills in a simulation lab requires..
Read MoreAbstract Technology in healthcare has become increasingly prevalent and user friendly. In the last decade, advances in hands-free methods of data input have become more viable in a variety of..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used for acute severe refractory cardiac and respiratory failure. An increasing number of patients are treated with ECMO worldwide. This can be attributed to..
Read MoreAbstract Conventional extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) training usually only consists of didactic lectures and water drill of ECMO circuit. However, learners cannot “experience” changes of clinical condition of patients. Simulation-based..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Development of a high-fidelity cardiac surgery simulator (CSS) requires integration of a heart model with a mock cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit that can provide feedback to mimic the..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction/Aim: The patient’s condition and high-risk nature of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy force clinical services to ensure clinicians are properly trained and always ready to deal effectively with..
