Pre-hospital ECPR
10th December 2024, 19:00 to 20:00 GMT
Overview
Expanding evidence base suggests potential for significant outcome benefit by utilising ECPR in selected cases of refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Time to intervention appears to be critical and pre-hospital ECPR delivery may be the fastest model that could be replicated throughout the UK. This webinar looks at training and learning from pre-hospital ECPR systems around the world before focusing on a London feasibility trial and then examining plans for a model in London that could be replicated throughout the UK.
Aims
- Explore the background, rationale and evidence for pre-hospital ECPR
- Explore other pre-hospital ECPR systems around the world
- Explore training requirements and governance structures
- Lessons learnt in the only UK trial of pre-hospital ECPR
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Explain why pre-hospital ECPR is developing as a potential intervention in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
- Understand the current evidence base and lessons learnt in other systems
- Understand the complexity and unique requirements for training programmes in ECPR
- Understand current provisions and future potential options for ECPR delivery in the UK.
