ECPB Conference
On May 4-5, 2009, The Center for Resuscitation Science was pleased to host an Emergency Cardiopulmonary Bypass Network Conference in Philadelphia, PA. The content of the conference focused on the clinical use of emergency cardiopulmonary bypass (ECPB) and advanced resuscitation. In addition to exploring the latest in resuscitation science, the conference also served to foster communication, build new collaborations, and establish an international network of scientists and clinicians who are working to advance the important study of ECPB and resuscitation around the globe.
Below you will find links to many of the interesting and informative presentations which were given during the ECPB conference. These files are being made available for educational purposes with permission from each of the presenters. (Note: Some presentations include audio/video and can be viewed by downloading the full ".zip" files and opening them as powerpoint presentations.)
