About Parmm Foundation

The PARMM foundation course in ECMO and Mechanical Ventilation provides high-quality education and hands-on instruction in ECMO and mechanical ventilation management for healthcare providers. The course covers Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) management, focusing on up to date management of ARDS using time tested strategies focused on ECMO and mechanical ventilation. Areas of discussion would involve pressure versus volume, ventilator dys-synchrony, management strategies in key surgical conditions including traumatic brain injury and obstetrical emergencies. Hands on interaction with the ventilator and case-based discussions to improve clinical decision-making will be avenues for elaboration on this topic.
