Ashoka Rescue Medical Transport (ARMT) specializes in the transportation of critically unstable patients requiring simultaneous respiratory and circulatory support through Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) technology. ECMO serves as an external artificial heart and lung system, maintaining the patient's blood circulation outside the body. Our specialized medical teams, comprising cardiovascular thoracic surgeons, critical care physicians, and perfusionists, are proficient in traveling to hospitals, conducting cannulation on-site, initiating ECMO support, and arranging transportation. We facilitate both domestic and international transfers for patients receiving ECMO therapy. Throughout ECMO treatment, the patient's heart remains operational with assistance from the ECMO device, significantly alleviating the heart and lung workload. This approach aims to temporarily stabilize patients by ensuring adequate blood flow and oxygenation, thereby supporting cardiovascular and respiratory functions.
Our team includes certified ECMO specialists and perfusionists with years of experience in managing ECMO patients during critical transport situations.
We utilize portable ECMO machines, advanced monitoring systems, and backup equipment to ensure uninterrupted support during transport.
Real-time monitoring of ECMO circuit parameters, patient vitals, and blood gas analysis throughout the entire transport process.
24/7 availability for emergency ECMO transports with rapid mobilization of specialized teams and equipment.
