Abstract

Refractory severe hemodynamic or respiratory failure and referral transplant patient may require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Some patients are too sick to be transported safely to a referral ECMO center and referral transplant unit on conventional transportationdue to time and distance. The experiences of some ECMO transport teams have already been reported, including air and international transport. We report the first Qatar adult international VV-ECMO transport by air ambulance. This case shows that a long distance of the adult VV ECMO transport team is safe, even in an international setting.
