Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a device derived from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine used during open-heart surgery. It has been introduced in clinical practice at the beginning of the 1970s. ECMO can substitute the function of the lungs, the heart, or both when respiratory, cardiac, or cardiopulmonary failures is not responding to ...
