Abstract
Transporting a patient on ECMO requires organisation and specific support. Mobilisation of a patient on ECMO could be hazardous and must remain exceptional. The perfusionist is the guarantor of the proper conduct of this movement and of safety for the patient and his machine to prevent any risk of accident. Anticipation and compliance with appropriate procedures and logistics are the conditions that ensure maximum safety for the patient.
