Extracorporeal Life Support
Since implementing an ICU-led ECMO service in 2011, our program has grown to become the second busiest in Victoria. University Hospital Geelong has been designated as a Tier 2 ECMO service since 2020 — currently the only regional ECMO provider in Victoria.
Our ECMO team provides 24/7 specialist support for patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, with dedicated clinical support, training courses, and ongoing quality improvement.
