About ECCare
ECCare is an association of fourteen experienced certified clinical perfusionists specialized in delivering extracorporeal circulation and blood management services to medical institutions and companies.
ECCare is established in September 2009 and signed its first major contract with the Isala Klinieken in Zwolle in June 2010. In our 10th anniversary year we contracted Amphia hospital Breda and expanded our group. Today, we provide all extracorporeal and blood management services needed in both centers including the practical training and education of trainee perfusionists.
All ECCare perfusionists are certified by the 'College Ziekenhuis Opleidingen' (CZO, Eng: College of Hospital Educations) and maintain an active registration by 'de Nederlandse Sociëteit voor Extra-Corporale Circulatie' (NeSECC, Eng: Dutch Society for Extracorporeal Circulation) submitting ourselves to a reaccreditation program. All ECCare perfusionist attend a variety of relevant medical congresses and workshops to maintain a high level of education and experience. We also actively participate in the quality programs of the medical institutions and partners to who we deliver our services.
Our Logo
The ECCare logo represents the most important aspect of our area of expertise, which is maintaining adequate systemic blood circulation and tissue perfusion by means of a heart-lung machine. The uninterrupted circles depict the arterial an venous aspects of our body's vascular system which, interweaved like the circles, take care of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body-tissues and ensure the removal of waste products. The circles are positioned within the logo in such a way that they reveal, when looked upon closely, several heart symbols. The heart is the driving force necessary to maintain the blood circulation. And illnesses and defects of the heart are the main reason of existence of our profession. Only through taking over the functions of the heart and lungs is it possible that surgical interventions in and at the heart can be performed safely
The four hearts within the logo will reveal themselves upon closer look. They represent the four spear points of our group, which are:
Extracorporeal circulatory support in cardiac surgical procedures
Long-term extracorporeal support in patients with cardiac and/or lung failure
Autotransfusion techniques and blood management procedures
Research, training, education and consultancy
