FAST Archives: ECPR Across The Twin Cities
Download MP3In this episode of The FAST Archives, we explore an innovative approach to cardiac arrest treatment with Jason Bartos, a leading figure in the field of cardiology and critical care at the University of Minnesota. Jason delves into the world of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), a lifesaving technique that has shown significant promise in improving survival rates among patients who do not respond to conventional ACLS.
Currently, access to ECPR is limited, with only 1.68% of eligible patients receiving this treatment. Jason discusses how his team is working to expand ECPR’s availability in the Twin Cities, detailing the challenges, successes, and potential for replication of their mobile ECMO program in other regions. This talk offers valuable insights into the future of cardiac care and the possibilities of extending high-quality life-saving interventions to a broader population.
Tune in to hear about the transformative efforts being made to increase ECPR access and how these advancements could serve as a blueprint for communities across the nation. If you enjoyed this talk, check out the other episodes of the FAST Archives miniseries! Thank you so much for listening.
