Development of a Standardized Assessment of Simulation-based Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Educational Courses

ABSTRACT:

Background

In 2020, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization education task force identified seven extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) educational domains that would benefit from international collaborative efforts. These included research efforts to delineate the impact and outcomes of ECMO courses.

Objective

Development of a standardized online assessment tool to evaluate the effectiveness of didactic and simulation-based ECMO courses on participants’ confidence, knowledge, and simulation-based skills; participant satisfaction; and course educational benefits.

Methods

We performed a prospective multicenter observational study of five different U.S. academic institution–based adult ECMO courses that met Extracorporeal Life Support Organization endorse
