🏃‍♂️ Our team is hitting the ground running.... starting at SCCM 2026 in Chicago (March 22–24) and heading to AmSECT 2026 in Austin, TX (March 24–29).

✌ Two conferences. Two incredible opportunities to connect with critical care clinicians, perfusionists, ECMO Specialists, and program leaders who are all working toward the same goal: better outcomes for critically ill patients.

At both stops, we’re focused on what we do best:
-Strengthening perfusion programs
-Launching & optimizing ECMO programs
-Supporting teams with experienced perfusionists and specialists
-Delivering high-impact training and simulation

Whether it’s in the ICU, the OR, or the sim lab... prepared teams make the difference.

If you’re attending either conference, let’s connect. We’d love to hear what challenges you’re seeing in your program and share how we’re helping teams solve them.

Luck favors the prepared. In ECMO...There’s preparation. There’s repetition. There’s a team that knows what to do when seconds matter most.

This St. Patrick’s Day ☘️, we’re not relying on luck...we’re building it.

At the Integration Health simulation center, clinicians train in high-fidelity, real-world scenarios that translate directly to the bedside. And for programs that need it, we bring that same experience onsite; customized to your team!

Whether you’re launching, scaling, or strengthening your ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) program. preparation is the difference.

Because when the moment comes… luck shouldn’t be part of the plan.

Our team is ready for a boot scootin’ good time at the 64th AmSECT International Conference in Austin, TX. In Texas they say “it’s not your first rodeo”… and for perfusionists, that mindset fits pretty well.

Whether managing cardiopulmonary bypass, monitoring flows, or responding when things get unpredictable, perfusionists stay calm, focused, and ready when it matters most.

Different arena. Same level of skill.

We’re excited to connect with the you all and talk about how Integration Health + are helping strengthen perfusion and extracorporeal support programs across the country.

If you’re attending AmSECT, come say hello. 🤠

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.
