Reanimate Conference 2026

It takes place at Sharp PIEC Center in San Diego.

The listed audience includes physicians, nurses, APPs, perfusionists, ECMO specialists, other non-physicians, EMS, residents and fellows.

It is most useful for emergency physicians and intensivists who cannulate, plus the nurses, perfusionists and ECMO specialists on their teams, since the two days focus on resuscitative ECMO and ECPR with hands-on cannulation, pump troubleshooting and peri-ECMO resuscitation. Residents and fellows can start on the skills here, but clinicians with no access to an ECMO program or no role in cardiac arrest care would get less, because the content is narrowly procedural.

Clinicians at hands-on resuscitation courses usually wear comfortable casual clothes or scrubs, with closed-toe shoes for skills stations. San Diego's mild climate means light layers are enough.
