A Journey into ECMO Transport:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) isn’t a novel technology; it was first used in 1971 to treat a trauma patient involved in a severe motorcycle accident. Its application initially gained traction in the pediatric world, but it truly shone during the COVID-19 pandemic, albeit with mixed results. Nevertheless, ECMO remains an invaluable tool, serving as a bridge to transplant, VAD placement, and more.
Transporting patients on ECMO necessitates a deep understanding of the device’s function to maintain patient stability during transit. Surprisingly, no comprehensive resources or courses were available to address this critical need—until now. Dr. Michael Lauria, in the spirit of bridging gaps much like the ECMO device itself, created “Circulating Hope” to fill this educational void.
