ECLS/ECMO Pathway

Last updated : 17/06/2025 - 286 views

An evidence-based educational journey designed to build foundational to advanced competencies in extracorporeal life support, guided by EuroELSO standards. Note: Due to the specifics of this pathway, there is no transition level. To remain consistent with the methodology applied to all ESICM pathways, levels are stipulated accordingly (in this case Level 1 and Level3).
