Joint decision for a training concept
The concept includes theoretical and practical training in an interdisciplinary
setting for intensive care staff and cardiotechnologist
Treatment procedure is challenging and associated with potential risks
Intensive care staff can care for these patients if:
for at least 6 months in the ICU
after theoretical and practical education

Patients awake on ECMO
Patients can be awake on ECMO while waiting for a lung or heart transplant
Communication with awake ECMO / ECLS patients is perceived as very important
and valuable to overcome the "long waiting time" for an organ

Mobilization of awake patients on ECMO I
Responsibilities in mobilization:
Physiotherapist: mobilization and guiding the patient
Intensive care nurse: monitoring vital signs
Physician: securing the ECMO tubes
Cardiotechnologist: monitoring ECMO

Mobilization of awake patients on ECMO II
Signficant training effect on muscles with more endurance, coordination of
movement, and balance
Walking distance can be extended
Self-confidence can be strengthened as a result
Coordinated multi-professional cooperation supports the preservation of mobility in
ECMO patients
