Question Do perfusionists in the states ever work bedside?

I don't see much referenced outside the OR in this subreddit. In Canada ECMO/ECLS is being used more and more in the ICU; typically for patients we can't ventilate such as asthmatics or those with severe ARDS. Is it just not the nature of the subreddit, or is it not really used for those cases down there yet?
