Ep 226 - October and November 2023 Monthly Round Up - Trauma, Resuscitation, Aortic Dissection and Silence

One of the benefits of the use of online platforms for meetings is the ability to record and disseminate talks more widely. This is an edited version of a talk given by Dr Andy Curry, Consultant Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Consultant at University Hospital Southampton, covering the origins of Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) right up to the present day. Throughout the talk, he gives real world experience, coupled with a knowledge of the literature to communicate all you could ever want to know about this fascinating and potentially very exciting therapy.
