Abstract:
With the widespread application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology, ECMO centers have been established in most regions of China, and the demand for ECMO transport is also increasing. Critically ill patients with ECMO carry many catheters. ECMO devices and accessories are cumbersome and numerous, requiring a large amount of manpower to assist in the transfer. At present, most of ECMO transport equipment are vertical carts provided by equipment suppliers, which cannot accommodate all ancillary equipment and are difficult to be loaded into ambulances for transportation. Therefore, critically ill patients face many risks if they need to be transported inter-hospital. A specific vehicle for ECMO patients was designed by the medical staff of the department of critical care medicine of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, which integrates the ECMO host, oxygenator, centrifugal pump, portable ventilator, coagulation instrument, injection pump, monitor, oxygen cylinder, and etc., to greatly facilitate the transportionation. This invention obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2019 2 1201261.4). The new ECMO transport vehicle can facilitate the interhospital transport of critically ill patients, reduce the occurrence of accidents, shorten the transport time and reduce the number of transport personnel, and has a good clinical application value.
