Have you ever wondered how you would crash someone onto VV ECMO?  Have you ever wondered where is the best place to put the cannulas?  Have stayed up late at night wondering which patients in your department could benefit from VV rather than VA ECMO?

This month we tackle a number of topics.  Garrett Sterling is back again with Zack Shinar to talk about cutting edge resuscitation, ECMO, and the interplay between the two.  Dual sequential defibrillation, CT after ECMO initiation,

In this episode, Zack Shinar introduces a new physician to the podcast - Garrett Sterling.  Garrett and Zack discuss the sticky topic of ECMO for aortic dissection.  This traverses everything from VA ECMO in ECPR to VVECMO for pulmonary edema.

Last month you heard Jason talk about the ECPR program at the University of Minnesota.  This month Zack and Jason talk about post initiation care and the crazy ECPR realities that Demetri, Jason and U of M have created.

Jason Bartos and his crew at the University - of Minnesota have revolutionized the concept of ECPR for out of hospital cardiac arrests.  His crew are interventional cardiologists who take OHCA straight to the cardiac cath lab.

Today's episode focuses on the differences between ECMO physiology in the patient in cardiogenic shock versus the one in cardiac arrest.

This month we discuss two different topics we've recently had on the podcast.  Albuquerque had started the first US prehospital ECPR program.... and now they have the first patient as well.  Jon and Darren will share with us the exciting news.

The U.S. has seen pre-hospital programs spring up in Paris, UK, and Australia.  It was thought that due to billing issues this could never happen in America....but it has.  Jon Marinaro and Darren Braude have accomplished this against all odds.
