Acute Air Ambulance is proud to announce the expansion of our advanced medical transport capabilities to include ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) and IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) transfer services. These additions mark a significant leap forward in our mission to deliver high-acuity care with precision, speed, and unwavering expertise.
ECMO Transfers: Bridging Life-Saving Support Across Borders
ECMO is a vital intervention for patients experiencing severe cardiac or respiratory failure. By temporarily taking over the function of the heart and lungs, ECMO allows patients to stabilize while being transferred to specialized centers for definitive care.
Our ECMO transport services feature:
Specialized aircraft equipped for extracorporeal support
Highly trained critical care teams with ECMO experience
Seamless coordination between referring and receiving facilities
Whether for neonatal, pediatric, or adult patients, Acute Air Ambulance ensures ECMO transfers are executed with clinical precision and compassionate care.
IABP Transfers: Supporting Cardiac Patients on the Move
Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) are essential for patients with compromised cardiac output, often serving as a bridge to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or other surgical interventions. Transporting patients with IABPs requires meticulous monitoring and coordination to maintain hemodynamic stability throughout the journey.
Our IABP transport protocols include:
Real-time cardiac monitoring and pump management
Collaboration with cardiac teams at both ends of the transfer
Aircraft configured to support cardiovascular equipment and interventions
By integrating IABP capabilities into our fleet, we provide a critical lifeline for patients in need of urgent cardiac care—whether across cities or continents.
Why This Matters
These enhanced services reflect our commitment to:
Expanding access to specialized care across geographic boundaries
Reducing time-to-treatment for high-risk patients
Delivering hospital-level support in the air
From ECMO to IABP, Acute Air Ambulance is redefining what’s possible in medical transport—bringing advanced therapies to patients when and where they need them most.
