Heartbeat Perfusion Solutions Uses Healthcare Simulation to Advance ECMO Training

Proper training across medical education helps to prevent medical errors and ensure that learners are prepared to perform life-saving measures, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This form of life support is used to provide prolonged cardiac and respiratory assistance for patients who have a heart and lungs that are unable to maintain an adequate amount of perfusion. Using an ECMO machine requires precision, which is why the company Heartbeat Perfusion Solutions Inc. has come to offer a consultative approach to deliver innovative Cardiovascular Perfusion and ECMO services that meet the needs of hospitals and healthcare facilities. This HealthySimulation.com article shares more about the company and how these solutions are helping to advance ECMO healthcare simulation training.

Currently, Heartbeat Perfusion Solutions offers a full range of qualified professionals to meet a facility’s unique perfusion staffing challenges. The company’s mission is to deliver high-quality comprehensive perfusion services with excellence, compassion, and competence. Specifically, Heartbeat Perfusion Solutions offers a wide range of highly-experienced professionals ready to fulfill all ECMO clinician’s staffing needs.

The company’s consulting services have been designed to assist with new program development and/or review of existing ECMO programs. This includes medical training simulations for healthcare professionals looking to extend their knowledge and practice on ECMO procedures. Heartbeat Perfusion Solutions’ Comprehensive ECMO course uses a combination of didactic, practical, and immersive simulated scenarios with variable Mankins and circuit physiology models.
