Key result
A basic six-hour theoretical course on ECMO resulted in a significant self-reported knowledge gain across all topics for healthcare professionals (p<0.001).
Why the study?

p-value: p=<0.001
A basic theoretical course on ECMO significantly improves and homogenizes self-reported knowledge among a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals.
A multidisciplinary team is essential for a high quality ECMO service. However, few health professionals have any knowledge on ECMO and, in addition, there are discrepancies between the level of expertise among these professionals. Thus, we evaluated the impact of a basic theoretical ECMO course on the knowledge gain of different healthcare professionals.

Liguori et al. (2013) studied Healthcare professionals learning about ECMO (n=30). Basic theoretical ECMO course vs. Pre-course knowledge (baseline) was evaluated on Self-evaluated level of expertise on ECMO topics (scale 1 to 5) (p=<0.001). A basic six-hour theoretical course on ECMO resulted in a significant self-reported knowledge gain across all topics for healthcare professionals (p<0.001).
