Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO has made a resurgance in popularity and usage across the country. It has become minimized and mobile, removing a lot of barriers that kept it from being used previously. With tons of advantages and a tried and true history of being an effective tool for cardiogenic shock, the newer mobile units are really making a splash at smaller satellite community hospitals. My guest Jason Chan RN and ECMO PRN owner and operator walks us through what ECMO is and why the newer smaller units are making a significant difference in patient lives.

  The old debate comes around every year, who gets to go to TCT and is it even worth it. In short, YES. TCT is a great place to learn, network and expand your horizons.

From education credits to availble courses we just simply arnt the bread and butter of TCT. This doesnt mean we can benefit in a huge way.
