Our team is ready for a boot scootin’ good time at the 64th AmSECT International Conference in Austin, TX. In Texas they say “it’s not your first rodeo”… and for perfusionists, that mindset fits pretty well.

Whether managing cardiopulmonary bypass, monitoring flows, or responding when things get unpredictable, perfusionists stay calm, focused, and ready when it matters most.

Different arena. Same level of skill.

We’re excited to connect with the you all and talk about how Integration Health + are helping strengthen perfusion and extracorporeal support programs across the country.

If you’re attending AmSECT, come say hello. 🤠

🗜️ In ECMO, flow follows the path of least resistance.
A Hoffman clamp is a simple screw clamp placed on circuit tubing to add gentle resistance where needed. By slowly tightening it, you can:

🔻 Decrease flow through a specific limb
🩸 Redirect blood where you want it to go
⚙️ Fine-tune the circuit without changing pump speed

Small adjustments matter.

Always monitor pressures and patient response when adding resistance.

Sometimes ECMO management isn’t about turning up the RPMs — it’s about managing resistance wisely.

🏈 Ever watch ECMO simulation like you’re watching football? Standing up. Talking to the TV. “Calling plays” like the people on the TV can hear them.

It felt less like a lecture…and more like a championship game.

That’s intentional.

At Integration Health’s Simulation Center, we create immersive, high-fidelity simulation experiences that drive:
• Team communication
• Clinical anticipation
• Real-time problem solving
• Knowledge retention

Engagement isn’t accidental. It’s designed.

ECMO Consulting, Training, and Staffing

ECMO Advantage has been providing ECMO services as a corporation since 2007. Our team of ECMO Advantage Specialists are the best of the best.

Founded in 2007 by Randy Bartilson, ECMO Advantage offers the most customized services to the greater Extracorporeal Community. Randy brought his unique perspective as an ECMO Specialist and Coordinator, combined with practical experience, to the cutting edge of our industry by gathering Specialist experts from around the United States. This premier team covers all aspects of staffing, training, and consulting to ECMO Programs across the country. At the onset of launching ECMO Advantage, it had been difficult to find staffing support outside of an immediate institutions’ team roster. Randy changed the landscape of the ExtraCorporeal Community by building his company to provide solutions that allow partners to pool or contract resources. As the ExtraCorporeal Community continues to evolve and grow, ECMO Advantage is leading the way.

ECMO Advantage is the pre-eminent provider of extracorporeal related services to the healthcare community. In 2018 we launched a new training facility unlike any other. EC², a state of the art ExtraCorporeal Education Center, houses two high-fidelity ICU simulation rooms connected by a state of the art control room. EC² is designed to create a comfortable, casual atmosphere while facilitating the most beneficial, wholistic simulation and complete learning experience.

Our classes have been filling up and we are opening new sessions as we are able. If you are interested in attending training guided by the ELSO Guidelines at EC², register soon while seats are available.
