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, COVID-19 and more.

This video features centers sharing their experiences in preparing for and managing COVID-19 patients requiring ECMO support.
This video focuses on how centers handled the logistics of COVID-19 outbreak and how they expect to tackle a second potential wave of the infection.
This interactive call, sponsored by Abbott, features experiences and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, and how to improve hospital preparedness.
This interactive call sponsored by Abbott covers the impact of COVID-19 on heart failure patients and how Abbott’s heart failure portfolio can assist with managing the challenges. The video shares innovative strategies for patient management and resources for collaboration.
This concludes our ECMO learning pathway. You can review the full ECMO learning pathway or contact Abbott for any questions you have.
