EXTRA CORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION (ECMO)

Program Overview

ECMO is used for patients that are critically ill, allowing the heart, lungs, or both to rest. This mechanical life support provides a bypass level of therapy next to the patient's critical care bed, oxygenating and sending blood throughout the body. Bedside nurses need to know their role to safely care for a patient on ECMO, working with the ECMO specialist.
