As the first sustained pre-hospital ECPR program in the U.S., the MMRC ECMO truck enabled on-scene cannulation with efficient needle-stick-to-ECMO flow times, and neurologically favorable survival comparable to matched in-hospital ECPR when low-flow time was similar.
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."
Humbled to see our research proposal for a multitarget resuscitation of refractory cardiac arrest being awarded the Dlabal Award!. Grateful to my mentors, Henry Halperin and @DYannopoulos for their continuous guidance and support in navigating ways to battle refractory arrest!
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!
@maryg1race Unless AI makes me be at the site of the arrest faster or make a paramedic do my job that won’t happen … maybe early identification and diagnosis with automated expert activation and mobilization could be a start …

Time is myocardium—and brain. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) delivers the greatest survival benefit when reperfusion is achieved within 45 minutes. @kosmopolitanMD@DYannopoulos https://t.co/VpV316ZPuy
@JustinRGoodman@elonmusk@dr_andrealove Selective reporting g as always ! No one
Is getting money to study transgender mice! They use a model to understand how we treat patients that are transgender ! We also make diabetic mice!!! Not for having fun with sweet mice !!’ But to find cured and help diabetic patients !
