The conference will include sessions with various multi-disciplinary backgrounds including ECLS for anaesthetists, cardiologist, cardiac and transplant surgeons, and paediatricians. It will also outline ECLS management from the perspective of other disciplines like radiologists, vascular surgeons and the multidisciplinary team members including physiotherapists, clinical dietitians, infectious disease and palliative care specialists. Cross disciplinary work provides a platform for excellence in care through integrating multiple branches of knowledge under one umbrella.

Furthermore, an update on ECLS education and quality assurance as well as recent innovations will also be highlighted.

The conference will be preceded by pre- conference workshops from the 12th-14th of February which will cover multiple aspects including adult and pediatric ECLS therapy with hands on training on cannulation, trouble shooting and simulation.

We look forward to meeting you in Kuwait in the lovely month of February which will be also our National Day month where Kuwait will be lit with lights and activities for the national celebrations.
