13th Annual Neonatal and Pediatric ECLS Educational Conference
Welcome to the 13th Annual Neonatal & Pediatric ECLS Educational Conference at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. We dedicate this conference to providing educational opportunities for clinicians caring for children requiring Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) therapy including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist device (VAD) support.
We are excited to have transitioned to an all-virtual platform that allows us to continue to provide one-of-a-kind educational opportunities through interactive high-fidelity simulation activities, interesting case discussions, and live “hands-on” training demonstrations. The virtual platform provides increased opportunity to reach those that would be unable to attend in person.
Our goal is to provide clinicians of all levels a chance to enhance their knowledge of managing pediatric patients requiring ECLS. We are delighted to have you join us and hope that you enjoy this engaging and comprehensive program.
