Unmasking the truth about ECMO

Join John R. Mehall, a cardiothoracic surgeon and physician executive. We explore the lasting impact of the global pandemic on hospitals in the United States, uncover the underlying financial crisis often overlooked by headlines, and discuss innovative strategies to bolster hospital finances. In particular, we delve into the misconceptions surrounding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and how its implementation can lead to positive margins while saving patient lives. John R. Mehall is a cardiothoracic surgeon and physician executive. He discusses his KevinMD article, "3 myths about ECMO that are costing hospitals and patients."
