Dr. Carroll’s clinical, research, and education interests center on harm reduction for children supported on ECMO.  Recent research includes the identification of oxidative stress in ECMO circuits, management of pulmonary embolism on ECMO support, and a study of the mortality and complications associated with venovenous versus venoarterial ECMO for neonatal patients.  She is also involved in ECMO quality improvement and education, including membership on the education committee of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) and a position as a member of ELSO's National Simulation Faculty Team.  She is co-editor of “ECMO 101,” a web-based course designed to provide fundamental ECMO knowledge for members of ELSO and provides ECMO-related didactic education locally, nationally, and internationally.
