ECMO Respiratory Specialist Per Diem

Position Purpose

The ECLS Specialist provides extracorporeal life support to adult patients who are in cardiac or respiratory failure despite maximum medical therapy. The ECLS Specialist, under the supervision of the Chief Perfusionist (and ECMO physicians) is responsible for all aspects of monitoring and troubleshooting the ECMO circuit and related equipment during the treatment period. The ECLS Specialist is also responsible for collaborating with bedside RNs, physicians, respiratory therapists, and other members of the health care team to coordinate care for these very complex patients.

What You Will Do

• Operate and manage ECMO circuits and their components during ECMO procedures
• Maintain the functional integrity of all ECMO circuit components
• Monitor the functional integrity of all ECMO circuit components
• Troubleshoot the ECMO circuit and assist with repairs/replacement of ECMO circuit components under normal and emergency conditions
• Continually assess vital signs, hemodynamics, arterial blood gases (ABG), SvO2, and other factors related to systemic oxygen supply/demand, and adjust accordingly
• Continually evaluate ECMO circuit function to optimize oxygen delivery, CO2 removal, and obtain optimal hemodynamic stability
• Operate point-of-care laboratory equipment to evaluate changes in ABGs and electrolytes
• Collaborate with the bedside RN and medical team to correct abnormal laboratory values
