The FlightBridgeED Circulating Hope: Managing ECMO Patients in Transport™

One thing is sure: pre-hospital and critical care transport of patients treated with ECMO represents a massive upward flux in the industry. Similar fluxes have been seen in segments of patients being transported with Mechanical Ventilators, IABPs, and VADs. Although some training has been available to introduce ECMO to our industry, a comprehensive, scholarly training program has never been created for pre-hospital and critical care transport providers.

The content of this course has been carefully created by Dr. Michael Lauria, Dr. Brittney Bernardoni, and Bruce Hoffman, all of whom have extensive experience in the management of patients being treated with ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) patients regularly in the cardiovascular and cardiothoracic critical care unit. In addition to their professional experience, the institutions these providers are associated with have been at the forefront of developing and delivering extracorporeal life support in prehospital and transport settings. The course is designed to provide unparalleled clinical understanding and concise, easy-to-understand guidance on specific management for ECMO patients in transport.
