* Hyperbaric Transfer Options
** '''LBMMC''' (56x) 933-6960
*** Consult hyperbarics physician to confirm appropriateness;  HBO physicians are consultants and not admitting physicians.

*** '''RoundTrip request for ALS''' (via AED clerk - for the desired transport level of care; all CO poisonings need ALS at minimum)
**** Immediately call the MAC CDO (866-941-4401) to request that the RoundTrip be expedited as a time-critical illness;  the patient should leave Harbor’s ED within 2 hours. 
**** ALTERNATE:  request BLS and assemble an internal critical care transport team (RN, RT, physician, etc) with instructions to call Harbor base for base physician orders if the patient's condition changes;  for a physician-led team, take the HERT medication box from the Trauma Pyxis, additional medications as necessary, and downtime order forms with instruction to call Harbor base for physician orders if necessary 
*** '''911 re-triage''' - if no ambulances and/or staff are available; discuss with Harbor AOD and LACoFD/LAFD Medical Director(s) as appropriate
