FLIGHT-to-ECPR Study: A refractory cardiac arrest patient who's an ECPR candidate has a real path to survival. Geography alone shouldn't preclude ECPR. If your HEMS team has access to ECPR, please fly the candidate!

It's time to retire the phrase "we don't fly dead patients."

I am officially retired from @UWMedFlight . My final flight as a HEMS physician was today 4/11/26

It started in 1989. Over the last 36 years I have transported 4000+ patients with 3 HEMS programs:
Univ of Chicago 1989-92
OSF St Anthonys 1995-200
Univ of Wisconsin Med Flight 1992-2026

I have worked in 10 helicopter models:
SA 365 Dauphin N, N1, N2
AS 355 Twinstar
Bell 222
Agusta 109 Power
Agusta 109 Mk2
BK 117
EC 135
EC 145

What a long, strange trip its been!

Today marked an important step forward in US resuscitation science!

The Center for Resuscitation Medicine’s MMRC completed the first Helicopter EMS–facilitated extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in the United States!

Can you estimate a patient’s weight accurately enough to keep a flight safe? When minutes matter, guessing a patient’s weight isn’t good enough. A new study just changed the game for critical care transport teams. Read the full open access article here:
