Area of Science:

Critical Care Medicine
Cardiopulmonary Support

Background:

Conventional transport is often impossible for critically ill patients requiring advanced life support.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) offers a life-saving intervention for respiratory and cardiac failure.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the logistical and safety considerations for implementing mobile ECMO services.
To inform ECMO centers considering the establishment of mobile ECMO programs.

Main Methods:

Discussion of operational frameworks for mobile ECMO deployment.
Review of safety protocols and risk mitigation strategies for inter-facility transport.

Main Results:

Mobile ECMO enables advanced life support delivery for patients unsuitable for standard transport.
