Postdoc Supporting heart and lungs – Design of an educational Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation training simulator
Offer DescriptionThe use of extracorporeal cardiac and/or pulmonary support systems, collectively referred to as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation or ECMO systems, is steadily increasing against the background of an aging population and the current Covid-19 pandemics. Several studies revealed that a positive outcome of ECMO patients is closely related to the number of ECMO runs in the respective medical center.The aim of the EduECMO project is to develop a high-fidelity cannulation trainer to model both the insertion of the cannulae and the circulatory response. This will on one hand allow identification of appropriate cannulation options prior to preclinical testing instead of testing them in animals. On the other hand this device will allow physicians to practice before actual patient care and to hemodynamically study the interaction of the ECMO system and the cannulation mode with the circulation in different combinations and settings, thus reducing acute animal experiments and increasing positive outcome for the patients due to the higher training level of the operators.We are therefore looking for a postdoc to reinforce our Engineering Organ Support Technologies team in the Department of Biomechanical Engineering. Together with (international) academic, medical simulation, and clinical partners, we seek to develop a high-fidelity ECMO simulator with you as postdoctoral researcher.Are you ready to contribute in our international ECMO research team?The challenge
