ECMO 143 Is Now Open to Guest Contributors

Share what you’re learning. Help others grow.

This year, I’m opening the ECMO 143 Newsletter to guest contributors. I’ll still be writing regularly, but now I want to feature voices from across the field: specialists, nurses, RTs, perfusionists, physicians, educators... anyone involved in ECMO or mechanical circulatory support who has something useful to share.

What can you write about?

If you’ve learned something, built something, want to explain a concept, or tried something that made a difference, this is your invite to write. You don’t need to be an expert, and your draft doesn’t have to be perfect. You just need a clear point and a willingness to share it. I’ll help shape it from there.

The focus remains ECMO, but I’m also open to related mechanical support, such as Impella, IABP, or VADs. Case studies, troubleshooting tips, training workflows, bedside insights, protocol reflections: anything practical, grounded, and clinically useful. It can be something that interests you, and it does not have to be complicated.

Here is how it works

Articles should be around 600 to 1,000 words—enough for a solid 3- to 5-minute read. If you want to contribute, DM me. You can send a rough draft or just a few notes. I’ll help edit for clarity, format it for the ECMO 143 newsletter, and send it back to you for approval. Nothing gets published without your final sign-off, and you’ll be listed as the author. My role is to help you shape it and make it clean. Your role is to bring your real-world experience to the table and help others learn.

Let’s grow this together. Jon
