Adult Critical Care Medicine including different ECLS strategies (veno-venous, veno-arterial, arterio-venous, veno-veno-arterial), several cannulation techniques and modes of operation (pumpless, pump-driven) depending on therapy goal (oxygenation, decarboxylation, hemodynamic support, combined respiratory and circulatory support).

Director of the ECMO retrieval program.
