In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Dr. Zack Shinar of the EDECMO Podcast, and co-author of "ECPR AND Resuscitative ECMO," the world's first ECMO CPR textbook.

Dr. Shinar is a world-renowned expert on ECPR and resuscitative ECMO, and he was gracious enough to share a bit of his time with the FlightCrit community.

In this episode Dr. Shinar shares with us:

• The history of ECPR including results from some of the very first cases
• How ECPR is changing the culture of cardiac arrest resuscitation worldwide
• What EMS, and Critical Care Transport Teams, can do to help optimize the delivery of ECPR therapy to eligible patients.
• and how ECMO therapy can be applied in other peri-arrest settings.
