The ECMO learning pathway is designed to support perfusionists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and ECMO specialists while developing their approach to using the CentriMag™ Acute Circulatory Support System for ECMO treatment.
We have broken down the ECMO learning pathway into four phases:
In the fourth and final phase, we offer Abbott product information, online publications, and additional online resources that cover clinical outcomes for the CentriMag Circulatory Support System, bridging strategies for ECMO, and more.
