Training of Emergency Medicine Residents to Initiate Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ( <scp>ECPR</scp> )
An abbreviated two-hour ECPR training course for EM residents resulted in a 75% success rate of ECPR initiation on a swine SCA model. Training of EM physicians in ECPR may expand the number of hospitals capable of providing this therapy. Advanced engineering solutions or increased experience with ultrasound-guided vascular access during CPR may improve ECMO cannulation success rates.
