A Multimodal Educational Boot Camp for Training Fellows in Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) management presents unique challenges in acute care settings, requiring specialized expertise to manage critically ill children.
