ECMO Specialist and Flight Nurse

ECMO Specialist and Flight Nurse Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation - trained ICU and Flight Nurse
Member of ELSO ECMO is a technique that oxygenates blood outside the body.

It can be used in potentially reversible severe respiratory failure when conventional ventilation is unable to oxygenate the blood adequately. The aim of ECMO in respiratory failure is to allow the injured lung to recover whilst avoiding certain recognised complications associated with conventional ventilation. It is high risk and is therefore only used as a matter of last resort in difficult cases. The procedure involves removing blood from the patient, taking steps to avoid clots forming in the blood, adding oxygen to the blood and pumping it artificially to support the lungs. ECMO is a highly specialised technique, which needs the input of intensive care specialists, cardiothoracic surgeons as well as ECMO-trained nurses.
