University of Maryland ExpressCare Critical Care Transport

 
 


Through partnerships with Petroleum Helicopters International (PHI) and TransCare, the University of Maryland operates a busy critical care and interfacility transport service. ExpressCare is comprised of critical care personnel, specialty care paramedics, transport nurses, and communication staff. A primary mission of ExpressCare is to provide safe and effective transport for patients requiring a higher or more sophisticated level of in-hospital care. ExpressCare crews are capable of the following specialty transports:

-Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
-Neonatal interfacility
-Critical care 
-Intra-aortic balloon pumps

Residents and students are encouraged to ride a long with transport crews and observe a shift in the communications center. Helicopter ride-alongs are limited to the winter months when the EC-135 twin engine helicopter can accomodate additional observers.
