Abstract
Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving therapy for patients with refractory severe respiratory failure or cardiac failure. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a therapeutic option increasingly used in the management of patients with cardio-respiratory failure that is refractory to maximal conventional treatment. Developed as an offshoot of cardiopulmonary bypass and the membrane oxygenator, ECMO can be used in patients of all ages (newborn to adult). This support may facilitate therapeutic intervention, bridge to recovery, bridge to a long-term support device, heart or lung transplantation, or bridge to palliation.
Conclusion: The most common indications for veno-venous and veno-arterial ECMO remain severe hypoxemic respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock, respectively. Refinements in extracorporeal circuitry and cannulation strategies have led to novel indications for ECMO in cardiopulmonary failure, including pulmonary hypertension, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and less severe forms of the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
