Scenario ECLS training
The ECCare partnership organizes unique scenario training
The ECCare partnership organizes unique scenario training, focusing on ECLS support. This part of the day consists of several presentations given by IC nurses, intensivists and perfusionists, discussing all facets.
For IC nurses, all matters important to the IC are considered. That consists of wound care, monitoring and registration of all measurements and appointments made around ECLS support. In addition, there is a team of IC nurses who are extensively trained by the perfusionists, with all ins and outs being considered by the support system.
The intensivists discuss the medical background, looking at what type of support is necessary. The results and studies are also discussed.
The perfusionists tell about the different systems, the way of cannulating and the various cannulas and the calamities and how to act during a calamity.
Following these presentations, a wet lab session will be held in which different scenarios will be used with the help of a simulator and a training set on the substructure system.

isala innovation award
We are very proud to announce that an initiative we started with Medtronic to reduce waste production resulted in Medtronic receiving the Isala Innovation Award.
Extracorporeal circulation for cardiac surgery uses a great amount of disposable products, usually tailored into a so-called custompacks. The disposable product are carefully packaged in sterile wrappings and bags and placed in large plastic trays for protection during transport. These trays serve no purpose after use of the disposables inside and are discarded. This results in a large volume of packaging waste. After use the disposables pile up in a large volume of medical waste which are transported in special purpose yellow-bin containers to a waste processing facility.
Medtronic, working together with us, managed to produce and package our sterile custompacks in such a way that they will fit into yellow-bin containers. This provides excellent protection during transport and a means of waste disposal afterwards. This method of operation reduces the total volume of waste produced by the hospital which is beneficiary for the environment and reduces costs for all parties involved.

After more than a decade of careful planning, preparation and building our premium contractor and valued partner, Isala hospital, has moved into a brand new hospital building. Starting august 3rd a total of 280 patients and a volume of 20.000 m3 of inventory was moved from the former two locations to this new hospital. The whole operation took 3 days in total and proceded without any noteworthy problems. An incredible achievement and something to be very proud of.
The new building has a very remarkable organic architecture and was designed by the renowned Dutch agency Alberts & Van Huut.

30,000th perfusion procedure
One year ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Isala Klinieken Heartcentre, perfusionists of ECCare performed the 30,000th extracorporeal circulation in support of a cardiac surgical procedure. Although ECCare came in to existence only late 2009, all current members were previously employed by the Isala Klinieken and as such involved in all perfusion procedures.
Extracorporeal circulation at the Isala Klinieken Heartcentre has evolved immensely over the past 24 years. Initially only perfusion procedures were performed. Nowadays this has expanded to extracorporeal support procedures outside the OR setting as in ECMO or ECLS and bloodmanagement as well.

training croatian collegues
Over the last weeks we had the honour of welcoming our collegues from the University Hospital Centre Zagreb. Their team receives a training on using centrifugal pump/closed systems and the implementiion of several associated techniques. Though intended as a training their visit evolved into an exchange of perfusion experiences on both sides. The team of chief perfusionist Stjepan Strancarić is involved in all aspects of extracorporeal circulation in both adults and pediatrics.
If you would like to experience Croatia as a perfusionist, do not miss out on their meeting. The 9th International Congress of the Croation Society of Extracorporeal Circulation Technology will be held in conjunction with the 61st International Congress of the European Society for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery (ESCVS). The combined meeting will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia on april 27th, 2012. Follow the link below to visit the website of this meeting.
