Goals
Goals
A separate community version of the clinical protocol at UMMC directed at refractory out-of-hospital VF arrest
Creation of a shared community resource to provide expertise and equipment rapidly for these patients.
Requires coordination of multiple EMS services, healthcare systems, and medical experts.
Highly specialized, critical care teams consisting of MDs, Nurses, and paramedics from participating health care systems are deployed to hospital emergency departments across the metro region, to intensively intervene in cardiac arrest cases by beginning ECMO and other critical care services with a target of 911- call to ECMO support <40 minutes. Next stage includes a mobile unit that can provide the time-sensitive care at health care sites that cannot accommodate ECMO in their facility. This project will significantly improve survival rates for cardiac arrest patients and change how care is delivered in the future.
