Welcome to ECCare.nl

As clinical perfusionists we provide extracorporeal circulation support in patients undergoing a cardiothoracic surgical intervention. We also provide pre-, intra- and postoperative autotransfusion techniques reducing, possibly avoiding, use of donor blood when undergoing surgery. We provide these techniques not only in cardiac surgical procedures but for any major surgical intervention like for instance in orthopedic surgery. We are also involved in wound healing techniques based on preparation of platelet gels from the patient’s own blood.

ECCare offers services to hospitals, institution, companies and organizations who are involved in cardiac surgery and the treatment of high risk cardiology patients, blood saving strategies, blood management techniques and research.

Jouw Kracht, Onze Toekomst!

Als Maatschap ECCare zijn we op zoek naar een enthousiaste professional om onze maatschap te komen versterken. We bieden je een prachtige kans om als Klinisch Perfusionist én volwaardige maat onderdeel te worden van ons team op de locatie van het Amphia, Breda.

Over de Rol:
Maatschap ECCare is in het Amphia primair verantwoordelijk voor het uitvoeren van de extracorporele circulatie en bloedmanagement technieken ten behoeve van de cardiothoracale chirurgie. Maar we verzorgen ook autologe plateletgel procedures in het kader van chronische wond-behandelingen en als het centrum in de cardiochirurgische behandeling van Jehova getuigen zijn bloedbesparende technieken, binnen het Amphia en voor ons, een belangrijk speerpunt. Ook ondersteunen wij in toenemende mate invasieve cardiologische interventies, zijn we nauw betrokken bij ECLS programma’s en nemen we deel aan klinisch onderzoek. Ook verzorgen wij naast het opleidingsprogramma voor klinisch perfusionisten diverse lessen en trainingen aan de verschillende disciplines binnen de kliniek. Naast deze werkzaamheden voor onze partnerklinieken wordt in toenemende mate van onze kennis en ervaring gebruik gemaakt door andere geïnteresseerden. Dit kunnen klinieken zijn maar ook commerciële partijen voor wie wij consultancy en trainingsopdrachten verzorgen.

Wat We Zoeken:
Wij zijn op zoek naar klinisch perfusionisten met een actieve NeSECC registratie maar willen ook klinisch perfusionisten die net hun opleiding hebben afgerond of gaan afronden nadrukkelijk uitnodigen te solliciteren. Deeltijd werken behoort tot de mogelijkheden.

Wat Je Te Wachten Staat:

  • Een leuke werkomgeving vol uitdagingen

Spectrum Medical Quantum Heater Cooler

Mr. Frosty, a novel method for patient cooling

Quantum heartlung machine and heater cooler in action

Ever since the discovery that Mycobacterium Chimaera originating from water-based heater-cooler systems has been involved in life-threatening infections in cardiac surgery we have been trying to find a solution to this problem.

Several studies have shown these water-based heater-cooler systems are resident to this type of pathogen and current procedures to clean and disinfect these devices have proven to be unsuccessful. This has led in the Netherlands to a ban on placement of these devices in the operating room. This directive by the Dutch national health authorities has created a wide range of problems since the use of heater-cooler systems is essential to cardiac surgery.

A novel technology by Spectrum Medical, the Quantum Thermal Technologies ‘mr. Frosty’ is no longer water based but instead uses a combination of glycol as heat transfer agent and a special phase-changing material as a ‘cooling’-battery. Excluding water as a medium to regulate the patients temperature means this device can be used safely in the operating theatre.

For Isala Hospital Zwolle we have, in cooperation with Spectrum Medical and Medtronic, thoroughly tested this device as an alternative. Our experience has shown this system is sufficiently capable of replacing a water-based heater-cooler system and is now our system of choice.

New heart-lung machine technology for Isala

Posted by eccare March 2020

We needed to explore what new technologies were available to support our patient in the next decade. After testing several systems we decided on the Medtronic / Spectrum Medical Quantum Perfusion Modules. This heart-lung machine system has proven to be extremely versatile and is loaded with new features. This machine has been designed from the ground up as the next-generation in extracorporeal technology and incorporates the Vision patient data management system to provide us as perfusionist with all the necessary tools to safely support our patients.

Hybrid extracorporeal circulation system

Posted by eccare November 2019

The cardiothoracic operating rooms of the amphia hospital work with a "revolutionary", innovative, hybrid heart-lung machine. This so-called HECC system was developed by our team together with the Amphia hospital. Amphia thus remains a forerunner in the Netherlands and has devoted an article to the system in the periodical 'Vitamin A' which is issued by the hospital.
