B Introduction: b Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is initiated during cardiac arrest as a rescue strategy when conventional resuscitation does not yield return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). B Conclusions: b Monthly E-CPR simulations led to improvement in times to performing vital steps in E-CPR and adherence to quality measures of CPR. We hypothesized that the addition of monthly in- situ E-CPR high fidelity, 30 minute, simulation training would improve compliance with CPR quality measures and decrease time to performing vital steps in CPR and ECMO preparation within our mixed cardiac and medical intensive care unit.

The hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow has been noted on several of the small number of autopsies performed on children with fatal MIS-C. B Discussion: b The patient met WHO and CDC criteria for MIS-C during his hospital stay. B Introduction: b We report a case of MIS-C, confirmed on autopsy, in a toddler with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). He had known exposure to multiple COVID+ family members, a positive SARS-COV-2 RT-PCR, fevers, elevated inflammatory markers, skin and mucosal changes, and multi-system organ dysfunction, evolving into severe, irreversible multiple organ failure.
