How much do ecmo jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Ecmo vs Respiratory Therapist?
| Aspect | Ecmo | Respiratory Therapist |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Specialized training, certification in ECMO management, often a critical care background | Associate or Bachelor's degree in respiratory therapy, licensure, and certification (CRT or RRT) |
| Work Environment | Intensive care units, operating rooms, specialized ECMO centers | Hospitals, clinics, emergency settings, respiratory care departments |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Hospitals with advanced critical care units, specialized ECMO programs | General hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency services |
While both roles involve respiratory support, Ecmo specialists focus on managing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation systems in critical care settings, requiring advanced certifications. Respiratory Therapists provide broader respiratory care across various healthcare environments, often with different certification requirements. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.
