When preparing for #REANIMATE16 there were no simulators for ECPR. There were no commercially available models for ECPR cannulation. There was nothing.
We had to build it. From scratch.
This short video documents the building of #REANIMATE16 and the first international endovascular resuscitation conference.

REANIMATE 1 is now behind us. And it was a huge success. On February 25 and 26, 2016 physicians, nurses and paramedics from around the globe met at the UCSD Simulation Center/Center for the Future of Surgery and immersed ourselves in the art and science of Endovascular Resuscitation: ECMO, ECPR, REBOA, bleeding-edge resuscitation, and more. From the entertaining (and for Bellezzo maybe a little humiliating!) didactic sessions to hands-on down-and-dirty sim sessions, participants were given the opportunity to train with the best educators in the world of resuscitative science.
