Capabilities of a mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation service for severe respiratory failure delivered by intensive care specialists

We conducted a single‐centre observational study of retrievals for severe respiratory failure over 12 months. Our intensivist‐delivered retrieval service has mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation capabilities. Sixty patients were analysed: 34 (57%) were female and the mean ( SD ) age was 44.1 (13.6) years. The mean ( SD ) PaO 2 /F I O 2 ratio at referral was 10.2 (4.1) kPa and median (IQR [range]) Murray score was 3.25 (3.0–3.5 [1.5–4.0]). Forty‐eight patients (80%) required veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at the referring centre. There were no cannulation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation‐related complications. The median (IQR [range]) retrieval distance was 47.2 (14.9–77.0 [2.3–342.0]) miles. There were no major adverse events during retrieval. Thirty‐seven patients (77%) who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation survived to discharge from the intensive care unit and 36 patients (75%) were alive after six months. Senior intensivist‐initiated and delivered mobile extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is safe and associated with a high incidence of survival..
