At the VCSQI Fall Quarterly Meeting, Mike Gelvin, Director of Perfusion and ECMO, delivered a groundbreaking presentation on the evolving role of ECMO in cardiac and critical care. He highlighted innovative dual-lumen cannulation techniques that allow greater patient mobility, leading to faster recovery and improved long-term outcomes. The discussion also explored how social determinants of health impact ECMO success rates, reinforcing the need for equitable access to life-saving interventions. As ECMO continues to expand beyond traditional cardiac surgery, this session provided a compelling look at its future in transforming patient care. #ECMOInnovation #CardiacRecovery #VCSQI
