A Practical Guide to ECMO Transport — Written by Someone Who’s Actually Done It
Hey everyone — I’ve worked in critical care transport and ECMO for years, and after seeing how little practical ECMO transport-focused material was out there, I decided to write a book about it.
The book focuses on the real-world side of ECMO transport: logistics, troubleshooting, transport physiology, team dynamics, equipment issues, and lessons learned from actual transports. My goal was to create something useful for ECMO specialists, perfusionists, nurses, RTs, and transport teams — especially people newer to the field or programs building transport capability.
This isn’t a dry academic textbook. It’s written from the perspective of someone who has actually lived these transports and understands how quickly things can go sideways at 2 a.m. in the back of an aircraft or ambulance.
I haven’t shared it here before, but I thought this community might appreciate it. Happy to answer questions about ECMO transport, the writing process, or the cases/topics covered in the book.
