Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) air ambulance transfers — both VV and VA configurations — with a perfusionist and intensivist on board, on long-range jets capable of carrying the circuit.
ECMO transfers are among the most complex aeromedical missions. The patient is fully dependent on a mechanical circuit; the aircraft must accept the equipment footprint and power load, and the team includes a perfusionist alongside the flight physician and nurse.
ECMO missions sit at the top of the cost range. The patient is fully dependent on a mechanical circuit, the aircraft must accept the equipment and power load, and the team includes a perfusionist alongside the intensivist.
