Listen Later

In this episode, Joe and Zack discuss some of the terminology and basics of ECMO and ECLS.

Terminology: (Synonyms)
  • ECMO = Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
  • ECLS = Extracorporeal Life Support
  • CPS = Cardiopulmonary Support
  • ECPR (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation)=ECLS initiation in the arresting patient
    • ECPR candidates:
    • STEMI with refractory VFIB
    • PE with shock or dysrythmia
    • Aortic Dissection
    • Massive OD
    • Pregnant with Amniotic fluid embolus
    • Hypothermia with temperature-dependent dysrythmia
    • Trauma

      • Future podcast episodes will drill down into the details of ECMO initiation, but in this episode Zack and Joe discuss Zack’s recent case where Zack did it all: managed the code…placed the cannulas…and initiated bypass, right there in the Emergency Department.
