Pacific Pediatric Advanced Care Initiative

Abstract

The Pacific Pediatric Advanced Care Initiative has established an advanced care center with ECLS support in Hawaii to support the Pacific Rim. The Center's goal is to advance the science of Pediatric Advanced Care through new basic science and simulation research, while providing advanced care to patients, and improving the education and training of Department of Defense (DOD) Health Care providers. The Center is evaluated through existing guidelines for clinical care and education and training. The major research foci for the Center includes: 1. basic science research in ECMO, and 2. development and evaluation of simulation technologies as applied to pre-ECLS and ECLS curricula. This initiative is a joint venture between Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC), Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children (KMCWC), Kaiser Permanente Hawaii, University of Hawaii (UH), and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).
