Integration of an ECMO Course into an Entry-to-Practice Bachelor of Science Respiratory Care Program.
Background: An extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) course was integrated into an entry-to-practice Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care (BSRC) program. The primary goals of this manuscript are to share the details related to the integration of this ECMO course and to measure the difference...

The primary goals of this manuscript are to share the details related to the integration of this ECMO course and to measure the differences in knowledge gained between entry-topractice respiratory therapy students and health care practitioners (respiratory therapists (RTs) and nurses (RNs)) with at least two years of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) experience becoming ECMO specialists. Methods: A multi-disciplinary team of practitioners taught the same ECMO course to both entry-to-practice RT students and health care practitioners asynchronously. A paired t-test was used to compare the entry-to-practice RT student postcourse comprehensive knowledge scores to skilled health care practitioners' scores. Results: A total of 19 entry-to-practice RT students and 19 experienced health care practitioners mean comprehensive knowledge scores were compared. The entry-to-practice RT student's comprehensive knowledge mean score was 86.11%; (SD±4.13%; range 80-94%) and 90.92%; (SD±5.58%; range 80-100%) for the skilled health care practitioners (P=0.002). Conclusion: A BSRC entry-to-practice program successfully integrated the same Extracorporeal Life Support Organization guideline based ECMO course used to train health care practitioners to become ECMO specialists. The entry-to-practice RT students met or exceeded the established knowledge and wet lab standards to commence bedside training as ECMO specialist. Although the RT students met the standard, they scored less than experienced practitioners. Further educational research is required to establish the need for integrating ECMO courses into entry-to-practice respiratory care programs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
