Listen "71: Should We Prioritize VV-ECMO over ECPR?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the abyss of resource allocation. Much of the world is saying that the limited number of ECMO circuits should be used for COVID induced lung injury. This means that ECPR initiatives have been shut down or severely limited. Is this the right thing to do? What does the data say? What strategy gives the most benefit to the most people? Zack invited Brian Grunau to discuss these topics as well as a recent ECPR paper out of Norway and study dealing with signs of life during CPR.
