The Center for Critical Care Medicine at Cooper University Health Care has received national recognition for its outstanding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program, an advanced lifesaving system used for critically ill patients. The Cooper team was named a Silver Level Center on the Path to Excellence in Life Support program by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO).<\/p>\n

The Excellence in Life Support Award recognizes centers that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to evidence-based processes and quality measures, staff training and continuing education, patient satisfaction, and ongoing clinical care. The award also recognizes and honors extracorporeal life support (ECLS) programs that reach the highest level of performance, innovation, satisfaction, and quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to be the recipient of such a prestigious award. We were able to help countless patients due to the vision of our administration and the tireless efforts our physicians, nurses, perfusionists, and respiratory therapists. Dr. Emily Damuth and Rob Rios, BSRN, RRT, CCPLP, deserve special recognition for this achievement as they kept the database about our patients, which helped us adjust our practices to improve care,\u201d said Nitin K. Puri, MD, Division Head of Critical Care Medicine at Cooper. \u201cThe ECMO Center accomplishments reflect the dedication to advancing health care that we continuously strive to achieve at Cooper, not only for southern New Jersey, but the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper provides ECMO for support of failing organ systems in adults. ECMO is one of the most advanced forms of life support available to patients experiencing acute failure of the cardiac and respiratory systems. ECMO allows time for the patient\u2019s lungs or heart to heal by using a heart-lung machine to oxygenate the blood outside the body.<\/p>\n

Cooper was among the first hospitals in the nation to use ECMO extensively to treat many critically ill COVID-19 patients throughout the pandemic. The treatment saved the lives of dozens of patients who would have died without it. Based on their experiences in treating COVID patients with ECMO, Cooper\u2019s Critical Care team served in an advisory capacity for hospitals around the nation and the world.<\/p>\n
