In this episode, Jon Marinaro and Zack Shinar go through the hot off the press Inception trial. The trial was touted as a negative ECPR study though many reasons make this trial different then the ARREST trial. They go through several important take home points for practitioners starting or running an ECPR/ECMO program.
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 casesHow ECPR is changing the culture of cardiac arrest resuscitation worldwideWhat 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.Links discussed in this podcast:www.edecmo.orgReanimate ConferenceARREST Trial ECPR AND Resuscitative ECMO textbookSupport the showMedic and RN CE's available over at academy.flightcrit.com
E-CPR expert Zack Shinar, MD, on team-based resuscitation, cultural change, building competency, and much more.
This month we tackle a number of topics. Garrett Sterling is back again with Zack Shinar to talk about cutting edge resuscitation, ECMO, and the interplay between the two. Dual sequential defibrillation, CT after ECMO initiation, should you perform bystander CPR in the era of Covid, some US ECMO data, and an awesome 3D modeling for ECPR training models. All in one 30 minute podcast! The post 65: ECPR Journal Club: Dual Sequential Defibrillation, CT after ECMO, and much, much more appeared first on ED ECMO.
In this episode, Zack Shinar introduces a new physician to the podcast - Garrett Sterling. Garrett and Zack discuss the sticky topic of ECMO for aortic dissection. This traverses everything from VA ECMO in ECPR to VVECMO for pulmonary edema. They go through the literature on the subject and make some conclusions based on this data. The ultimate question - "Is Aortic Dissection a Contraindication for ECMO?" The post 64: Contraindicated??? – Long Live the Aortic Dissection with Garrett Sterling appeared first on ED ECMO.

n this episode, Zack Shinar interviews Zaf Qasim about the recent controversies with ACEP and ACS about who can do REBOA. Zaf is one of the world's experts on REBOA and he's an ER doc! Zaf works at the University of Pennsylvania, trained in London as well as Shock Trauma in Baltimore and teaches at Reanimate. When you come to the essence of this episode, the question is what is the emergency physician's role in the trauma resuscitation? Both Zaf and Zack agree; we need to be the resuscitationist in the trauma suite. We need to manage the airway and then quickly take over the arterial and venous access, interpret the transduced pressures, manage the massive transfusion protocol and be ready to insert the REBOA catheter while the trauma surgeon is involved with the left chest, the source of bleeding and where the next destination for this patient will be.

Life after death—right here on earth—is now a reality for a growing number of patients who were once technically declared dead. As a world-renowned expert in resuscitation science and an Emergency Room physician at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, Dr. Zack Shinar is a hands-on practitioner of ECMO, or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, a life support procedure that involves pumping one’s blood outside the body. Zack walks us through his first encounters cheating death with ECMO and how it has become a regular work day for him to do so. Find out how he’s influencing the worldwide medical community and creating unique educational experiences to expand the impact of resuscitation science from his podcast ED ECMO to an annual conference he co-founded called Reanimate. We discuss future skills like interdisciplinary curiosity, statistical literacy, and effective decision-making for both doctors and patients. Hear how attending one of Zack’s Reanimate Conferences gave one man the skills to bring his own son back to life.

In this episode, we tackle the subject of organ transplantation on ECMO. 2017 featured several articles showing the efficacy of ECMO for organ transplantation. In Italy, 56% of total potential patients were successfully transplanted. The success of these transplants have been comparable to patients not on ECMO. Zack Shinar interviews Lionel Lamhaut, ECMO specialist from […] The post EDECMO 42: Organ Transplantation On ECMO appeared first on ED ECMO.

In this episode of the EDECMO podcast, Zack describes how to use the concept of 'TEAM PLAY", much like the gang from the classic novel "Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich, to optimize outcomes after cardiac arrest....with, or without, ECPR. The post EDECMO 33a – “Bringing Down the House” by Zack Shinar (from RESUSfest 2016) appeared first on ED ECMO.
ECMO or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has shown promise in the use of cardiac arrest patients. Zack Shinar and his crew from San Diego have lead the way in emergency physician initiated ECMO for patients in cardiac arrest. In this lecture he explains briefly how ECMO works, what their outcomes have been and where ECMO is moving. Initially 5 of their first 8 patients were neurologically intact survivors. Their first patient had over an hour of downtime when cardiac bypass was initiated. He walked out of the hospital completely neurologically intact nine days later and now has been featured on the film “Code Black”. Physicians from their hospital, Sharp Memorial, were also recently featured on the television show “Untold Stories in the ER” for a save of a 21 year old female arresting from hyperkalemia. Dr. Shinar also discusses some of the latest physiologic questions as the Australians have pushed for smaller diameter catheters that allow for smaller flow volumes. He also discusses how in Paris pre-hospital ECMO is being done by physicians in various places like the subway, apartment buildings and even the Louvre. In the end, Dr. Shinar discusses the biggest question in any novel resuscitation technique: cost. Prolongation of life and particularly after a cardiac arrest is expensive and many people do not survive. Dr. Shinar uses various pioneers in the world of technology to tell how true genius is not in technologic advancements but in making those advancements available to the masses. He ends with a story about Linus Torvalds. Dr. Shinar shows how this man through the use of the collective minds of computer programmers worldwide created one of the best operating systems ever created: Linux. He asks the medical community to endorse this idea and introduces the concept of “free open access medical innovation”.

LVADs are complicated especially when the patient starts going downhill. Zack Shinar is going to attempt to make it a bit easier.
Joe Bellezzo, MD along with his partner-in-crime, Zack Shinar, MD have started an ED ECMO service at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego. I am so jealous! In this episode of the podcast, I get to talk to Joe about how it works.
