In this video, Associate Professor Vincent Pellegrino – one of Australia’s most experienced ECMO clinicians- reflects on the Victorian ECMO experience. Drawing on decades of clinical leadership and system design, he outlines how a coordinated, statewide ECMO approach has shaped patient outcomes, workforce capability, and governance in Victoria.
Vin’s perspective is always insightful – and in this talk he addresses what it takes to run an ECMO program at state level, the balance between access and expertise, and the lessons learned from delivering high-acuity mechanical support across a large and complex health network.
Speaker: A/Prof Vincent Pellegrino, the Alfred/VECMOS, VIC, Australia
