  1. Great podcast. Currently work for a rotorwing transport company that transports ECMO with rapidly increasing frequency. Traditionally, we have taken a perfusionist with our RN and Paramedic however recently this became an issue with some perfusionist refusing to go transports or logistical difficulties. We have began transporting certain devices sans perfusonist however still are working out the ongoing education, limitations, and such.
