By oxygenating and circulating blood outside the body, ECMO allows the heart and lungs to rest and recover when conventional therapies are no longer sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>With the launch of its mobile capability, Cooper is now uniquely equipped to deploy a highly trained ECMO team \u2014 including physicians, advanced practice providers, perfusion specialists, nurses, and critical care transport professionals \u2014 to initiate veno-venous (VV) ECMO at outside facilities prior to transfer. This capability is made possible through close coordination with Cooper\u2019s EMS and Trauma teams, whose expertise in rapid response and critical care transport is essential to the program\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>The team completed its first mobile ECMO cannulation and transport in mid-February, successfully initiating ECMO at the bedside of a critically ill patient transferred from a hospital in Vineland, NJ. The patient, who was experiencing severe ARDS and was too unstable to tolerate conventional ventilator transport, was stabilized on ECMO and safely transported to Cooper, where he recovered and was discharged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMobile ECMO represents a defining step forward in the evolution of critical care across our region,\u201d said Nitin Puri, MD, director of Critical Care Services at Cooper. \u201cOur vision is to ensure that geography is never a barrier to life-saving therapy. By extending ECMO capabilities beyond our walls and directly to the bedside of referring hospitals, we are building a truly regional system of advanced mechanical circulatory and respiratory support. This program reflects our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and delivering the highest level of care to the sickest patients wherever they are. I also want to recognize the extraordinary dedication of our ECMO retrieval team\u2014Dr. Michael Kouch, Dr. Adam Green, Dr. Greg Felock and perfusionist Rob Rios\u2014whose expertise and readiness make this work possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mobile ECMO capability is considered a hallmark of leading quaternary care centers. By combining the expertise of its Center for Critical Care Services with the operational coordination of the Transfer Center, and the critical support of Cooper EMS and Trauma, Cooper has created a seamless pathway for rapid consultation, team mobilization, bedside cannulation, and transport.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper has long been recognized as a regional leader in ECMO services, with an award-winning multidisciplinary team and a growing reputation for excellence in mechanical circulatory support. The launch of mobile ECMO represents the next phase in expanding access to this highly specialized therapy for patients throughout South Jersey and the surrounding region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Cooper University Health Care<\/strong><br \/>\nCooper University Health Care is a leading academic health system affiliated with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.
