@brutamerica: This is the moment an emergency medical team races through Paris to deliver a life-saving donor heart. Behind the wheel is the driver known on Instagram as @loulouvilla, who works in Urgence Greffe/ECMO transport. The role involves rapidly moving donor organs, transplant teams, and specialist ECMO teams or equipment between hospitals when every minute matters. ECMO temporarily supports the heart and lungs of critically ill patients, sometimes keeping them alive while they await a transplant or recover. In France, the Agence de la biomédecine oversees the national transplant system, allocating donor hearts according to factors including medical urgency and compatibility. France performed 548 heart transplants in 2024, an 8% increase from the previous year, and an estimated 5,408 people were living with functioning transplanted hearts at year’s end. #EverydayHeroes #OrganDonation #HeartTransplant #UrgenceGreffe
