A patient on ECMO is alive because a machine is doing the work their heart or lungs can't. Moving that patient safely takes a team specifically trained to manage the circuit in flight — not a general ICU crew improvising.
ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) keeps a patient alive when their heart or lungs have failed to the point where ventilators and medication alone aren't enough. Transferring a patient on ECMO means managing that circuit continuously, through takeoff, turbulence, and landing, with zero margin for error.
This is the mission type that separates a genuine ICU-capable air ambulance from an aircraft with some equipment in the back. Airlogic Air Ambulance, through our clinical team, runs ECMO transfers with a team trained specifically for this.
General ICU training doesn't cover managing an ECMO circuit in flight. Our our clinical team assigns an ECMO-trained team to every such mission — the exact composition is confirmed at triage, before dispatch.
Team credentials confirmed and published before departureThe King Air B200's cabin gives the clinical team room to monitor and adjust the ECMO circuit throughout the flight — something the cramped fuselage of older aircraft like the C90 doesn't allow. See The Aircraft for the full comparison.
ECMO equipment power requirements are confirmed with the clinical team at triage. Equipment compatibility and backup power specifics are verified before the mission is accepted — we don't improvise on this.
Confirm with our team: +91 96543 19329A patient leaving one ICU on ECMO needs a receiving team ready for them on arrival. Our team coordinates directly with the destination hospital before wheels-up, consistent with the Clinical Triage Audit process across all Airlogic missions.
Same registry-based proof points as the rest of the site. The aircraft tail number, clinical team council registration numbers, and equipment calibration records are available before you commit. No operator that uses unnamed subcontractors can offer this.
Cardiac and pulmonology cases requiring ECMO support are frequently bound for Hyderabad's specialty hospitals — consistent with the wider Hyderabad corridor across our network. KIMS, AIG, and Yashoda have the cardiac surgery and perfusion capacity to receive and continue ECMO management.
