Why? Most OR nurses I know don't know what machine is used as that is the perfusionists thing. I would post this in the CRNA forum they may know.

I think they use the same one's at the bedside for ECMO as they do in O.R., but yes, I don't think the perfusionist would let a silly nurse anywhere near it. LOL :clown: I remember looking at the labels on them, but don't remember now. There's probably dozens currently in use in the USA.
