Please join ELSO celebrating our 30th Anniversary Conference in Austin Texas!

Join us for the pre-conference “Deep dive into physiology and program development” beginning Thursday, September 12th, at 1:00 PM, through noon Friday, September 13th.

The pre-conference will focus on all aspects of pulmonary and cardiac physiology, including discussions of illustrative cases. You will hear all you need to know about program development, with talks focusing on the role of program director, coordinator and necessary equipment. This will be followed by a deep dive into simulations, how to design them, and how to use them efficiently. We will finish our pre-conference with a detailed talk on the application for ELSO Center of Excellence.

The main conference “ELSO - 30 years in the making-still going strong!” will begin at 1:00 PM Friday, September 13th ending Sunday, September 15th at noon.

As this is a very special 30th Annual Conference, Dr. Robert Bartlett, the father of ECMO and founder of ELSO will be our keynote speaker and will kick off the conference. There will be research updates, debates, a heart lab focusing on cannulation, equipment and complications, neonatal, pediatric and adult breakouts, sessions geared towards RNs, RTs and perfusionists, as well as talks on ECMO reimbursement and finances.
