Team spotlight: Chellsee Pruitt

Chellsee Pruitt is a registered respiratory therapist who cares for patients who are on a heart lung bypass machine known as ECMO. "We are taking blood out of a person's body and running through a pump, through an oxygenator, which is where the gas exchange happens, and then we return the blood to the patient... it's probably the ultimate form of life-support, besides being on a pump in OR."
