Abstract
A mobile paediatric circulatory support unit has been set up within the paediatric and neonatal intensive care service at the Armand-Trousseau Hospital in Paris (AP-HP, 75). It is in place for situations of refractory respiratory and/or circulatory failure and can intervene in a radius of several hundred kilometres, in order to establish long-term extracorporeal circulation. In this delicate context, transporting children requires specific skills, coordination between all intervening parties and faultless organisation.
