Building a cardiogenic shock program isn’t just clinical, it’s a system redesign. In this episode, host Shane Turner sits down with Jenny Sinclair, ECMO Coordinator at Saint Louis University Hospital to break down what it takes to develop and launch a regional cardiogenic shock program.

As a critical care nurse with 12+ years of experience in mechanical circulatory support, Jenny shares practical, evidence-based strategies for implementing protocols, aligning teams across hospitals with varying resources, and overcoming real-world barriers so more patients can be identified sooner, transferred faster, and treated more consistently.
