Marc Dickstein

Marc Dickstein, an anesthesiologist from Columbia University, shares his expertise on managing patients on ECMO. He highlights the critical decisions between fluids, pressors, and flow to optimize outcomes. The discussion covers the complexities of left ventricular recovery post-arrest, and how hemodynamics impact oxygen delivery. Dickstein explains the importance of pulmonary artery catheters and the challenges of heart distension after cardiac arrest. His insights emphasize the necessity of understanding ECMO physiology for effective patient care.
