Transporting critically ill neonates needing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is challenging. A specially adapted helicopter enabled mobile ECMO support for a neonate, overcoming transport risks.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal critical care
  • Transport medicine
  • Cardiopulmonary support

Background:

  • Critically ill neonates often require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for life support.
  • Transporting these unstable neonates to specialized centers poses significant risks.
  • Cardiorespiratory instability can complicate or prevent conventional transport.

Observation:

  • A unique case involving a critically ill neonate requiring ECMO support during transport.
  • Utilization of a UH-1 helicopter retrofitted for mobile ECMO capabilities.
  • The helicopter facilitated continuous ECMO support en route to a specialized medical facility.

Findings:

  • Successful transport of a critically ill neonate using a mobile ECMO-equipped helicopter.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of providing advanced life support during air medical transport.
