Roger Pye on cannulation, part 1.

This podcast is the first of 2 parts of the Cannulation 101 session from the recent ECMOcannulate course. It is delivered by a true expert in the form of Roger Pye, erstwhile renal physician, intensivist and cardiac anaesthetist with 10 years of ECMO retrieval experience.

In part 1 Roger gets right down to the grain on VV cannulation and just how vital cannula configuration is to optimising systemic oxygenation, an essential consideration when bundling ECMO patients up for a 4000km aeromedical retrieval.

Look out for part 2 which will cover the Avalon cannula and cannulation for VA ECMO.
