Recent developmentments and promising progress in the field of Extracorporeal Life Support inspired me to offer informal lectures for that topics. Respiratory support became very prominet during the Bird Flu Epedemic while the lack of donor hearts for cardiac patients led to the improvement of artificial hearts. Extracorporeal Circulatory Support is currently on trial in emergency medicine in the field. Seminars covering all aspects of current treatment options can be provided to nurses, allied healthcare professionals, emergency medicine professionals and biomedical engineers.
