This month we discuss two different topics we've recently had on the podcast. Albuquerque had started the first US prehospital ECPR program…. and now they have the first patient as well. Jon and Darren will share with us the exciting news. Second, we recently had Matt Martin on the podcast talking about partial REBOA. We got tons of email about this. This month Zaf Qasim and Austin Johnson come on to talk about some of the controversial aspects of partial REBOA. Zaf also gives us a great update on the state of REBOA in the world.
The U.S. has seen pre-hospital programs spring up in Paris, UK, and Australia. It 
was thought that due to billing issues this could never happen in America….but it has. Jon Marinaro and Darren Braude have accomplished this against all odds. Zack interviews the two of them on how they were able to accomplish this task amidst the many financial, logistic, and medical problems surrounding this monumental task.
