Comparative StudyThe French airbridge for circulatory support in the Carribean.
We report the assessment and the activities for the first year of our airborne circulatory support mobile unit (CSMU) in the French Caribbean. ⋯ CSMUs can be very efficient in providing support to patients in refractory shock, when remote from a cardiac surgery centre. The airborne transfer of patients on ECMO/ECLS can be achieved safely, even over long distances.
