“…Despite increasing popularity, especially after the spike of the present coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) [ 2 , 3 ], advances in ECMO SBT is catching on to the demand [ 4 ]. Hence, training experts are forced to utilize available equipment and practices at hand to recreate believable SBT scenarios, as much as possible, which has led to the engendering of some common simulation practices in the literature [ 5 ].…”

“…Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is arguably the most complicated procedure in the intensive care unit (ICU) [ 1 ], and it is an intrusive life-sustaining system that delivers cardiopulmonary support to patients as they recovery from acute respiratory and/or cardiogenic failure [ 2 ]. The patients’ critical reliance on ECMO necessitates its continuous operation with minimum errors.…”

Simulators for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have problems of bulky devices and low-fidelity methodologies. Hence, ongoing efforts for optimizing modern solutions focus on minimizing expenses and blending training with the intensive care unit. This is particularly evident following the coronavirus pandemic, where economic resources have been extensively cut. In this paper, as a part of an ECMO simulator for training management, an advance thermochromic ink system for medical blood simulation is presented. The system was developed and enhanced as a prototype with successful and reversible transitions between dark and bright red blood color to simulate blood oxygenation and deoxygenation in ECMO training sessions.

Background Current medical simulators for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are expensive and rely on low-fidelity methodologies. This creates a challenge that demands a new approach to eliminate high costs and integrate with critical care environments, especially in light of the scarce resources and supplies available after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods To address this challenge, we examined the current state-of-the-art medical simulators and collaborated closely with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), the primary healthcare provider in Qatar, to establish criteria for advancing the cutting-edge ECMO simulation. This article presents a comprehensive ambulatory high-realism and cost-effective ECMO simulator. Results Over the past 3 years, we have surveyed relevant literature, gathered data, and continuously developed a prototype of the system modules and the accompanying tablet application. By doing so, we have successfully addressed the issue of cost and fidelity in ECMO simulation, providing an effective tool for medical professionals to improve their understanding and treatment of patients requiring ECMO support. Conclusions This paper will focus on presenting an overall ambulatory ECMO simulator, detailing the various sub-systems and emphasizing the modular casing of the physical components and the simulated patient monitor.
