There is a critical need for collaborative initiatives aimed at standardization of practice, quality improvement, research and innovation as they relate to the applications of Pediatric Paracorporeal and Extracorporeal Therapies (PPET). The PPET Summit 2023 will transform these critical gaps into knowledge and research opportunities by bringing together, for the first time, pediatric and adult experts from across the globe in the fields of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, ventricular assist device, renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal liver support, and apheresis. The summit will bring together local and international experts to define the current status of PPET, including the role of hybrid and tandem therapies; standardize current approaches; identify key knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to facilitate optimal patient care; and set a collaborative research and quality agenda to improve our understanding of PPET. This will provide a much-needed framework to optimize the care of these patients and improve their outcomes.
