🔦 Overhead ICU lighting can hide things the human eye can’t afford to miss. A focused beam can reveal microbubbles, tiny clots, fibrin strands, color shifts, and even hairline cracks; issues that can escalate fast if not caught early.

That’s why ECMO Specialists often do a full flashlight circuit check at the start of every shift, during hourly rounds, and anytime alarms or patient changes suggest something might be off. It’s one of those small habits that dramatically increases patient safety.

⏱️ A few seconds with a flashlight = early detection, fewer surprises, and safer ECMO care.

📊 Take a second to share your feedback in the comments:
What’s the most common gap you see in physician ECMO management?

ECMO programs can struggle when it comes to consistent physician readiness.

Our team routinely hears about challenges like:
• Understanding how pump/oxygenator behavior responds to patient physiology
• Ventilator management while on ECMO
• Anticoagulation strategy and troubleshooting
• Mobility and rehab decision-making
• Patient Selection

ECMO programs see gaps when it comes to consistent physician readiness.

If your team is experiencing any of these challenges, we offer tailored Provider Management Training for physicians, APPs, and medical directors using simulation and real-world case alignment.

🩸 ECMO Education and Program Development is in our blood. (Pun Intended) As we continue to integrate two amazing teams, we recently held an internal Education Summit at our Extracorporeal Education Center in Tennessee.

🏗️ By merging the best of what each team brings, we’re building an even stronger foundation for the clinicians and hospitals we serve.

👉 It’s about creating smarter pathways for training, deepening support for ECMO teams, and ultimately helping patients thrive, not just survive.

More to come as we continue growing together. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started.

ECMO Consulting, Training, and Staffing

ECMO Advantage has been providing ECMO services as a corporation since 2007. Our team of ECMO Advantage Specialists are the best of the best.

Founded in 2007 by Randy Bartilson, ECMO Advantage offers the most customized services to the greater Extracorporeal Community. Randy brought his unique perspective as an ECMO Specialist and Coordinator, combined with practical experience, to the cutting edge of our industry by gathering Specialist experts from around the United States. This premier team covers all aspects of staffing, training, and consulting to ECMO Programs across the country. At the onset of launching ECMO Advantage, it had been difficult to find staffing support outside of an immediate institutions’ team roster. Randy changed the landscape of the ExtraCorporeal Community by building his company to provide solutions that allow partners to pool or contract resources. As the ExtraCorporeal Community continues to evolve and grow, ECMO Advantage is leading the way.

ECMO Advantage is the pre-eminent provider of extracorporeal related services to the healthcare community. In 2018 we launched a new training facility unlike any other. EC², a state of the art ExtraCorporeal Education Center, houses two high-fidelity ICU simulation rooms connected by a state of the art control room. EC² is designed to create a comfortable, casual atmosphere while facilitating the most beneficial, wholistic simulation and complete learning experience.

Our classes have been filling up and we are opening new sessions as we are able. If you are interested in attending training guided by the ELSO Guidelines at EC², register soon while seats are available.
