Our Mechanical Circulatory Support program focuses specifically on the application of ECMO and ECMO-derivative technologies to the treatment of cardiac arrest and controlled reperfusion — with the goal of developing novel interventions that can bridge the gap between the battlefield and the clinic. The Battlefield Shock and Organ Support Program at the Uniformed Services University is a translational research program dedicated to advancing life-saving technologies at the intersection of critical care, extracorporeal circulation, and military medicine.
