The Department of Emergency Medicine’s Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Team welcomes the United States Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) for an intensive, hands-on skill training session focused on the many logistics and patient factors involved in out-of-hospital ECMO cannulation and transportation of cardiac arrest patients.

The visiting CCATT include nearly a dozen highly-trained and experienced military mobile ECMO critical care nurses and physicians seasoned by decades of real-world practice caring for the most critically ill and injured soldiers in remote theaters around the world.
