In this podcast, two speakers dive into my article, "The Aftermath of ECMO: Beyond Survival," to discuss the long-term physical and psychological challenges faced by ECMO survivors. They explore the aftermath of ECMO treatment and the often-overlooked reality of recovery—highlighting both the serious physical complications like strokes and paralysis, as well as the emotional toll, including PTSD and anxiety. As a newer ECMO specialist, I’ve learned so much from joining ECMO survivor support groups, which inspired this article. In this podcast, the hosts analyze these stories and share insights into how the healthcare community can better support survivors after they leave the hospital. If you’re an ECMO survivor, healthcare professional, or someone interested in the complexities of critical care recovery, this podcast offers an honest look at the ongoing journey of survival. Listen in to hear how we can improve patient care and provide the resources survivors need to heal fully—both physically and emotionally.
