Join us for our final event of the year with University of Michigan Surgeon, Dr. Robert Bartlett, the founder of the Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine.
Recently, featured for his historic and ongoing health work in The New Yorker and The New York Times
ECMO stands for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, meaning ECMO can temporarily replace the function of a person's heart and/or lungs
It was invented in the 1960s by a team led by Dr.
Bartlett, whose invention has since saved thousands of lives, babies and adults alike
In recent years, ECMO is being increasingly used in a new form of CPR, termed ECPR. To find out more, you can explore here:
