Engineering aspects of ECMO

March 13, 2026 · 7:45 AM - 9:45 AM @ Wulfruna, Malabe, CINEC Campus

Description

This seminar offers a technical exploration into the intersection of Biomedical Engineering and Critical Care , focusing on the sophisticated systems that sustain life in medical emergencies. Centered on the theme "Engineering Aspects of ECMO," the session addresses the mechanical and electronic complexities of Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) —a technology that artificially supports the heart and lungs when they can no longer function independently. As the demand for advanced life-support technology grows, this discourse aims to provide students with a deep understanding of how engineering principles are integrated into clinical environments. By examining the hardware and fluid dynamics behind these life-saving machines, the talk transitions from theoretical electronics to high-stakes medical application. This seminar is exclusive to final year project students.
