In extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), blood is pumped outside of the body to a heart-lung machine. The machine removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygen-rich blood back to the body.
What is ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)? ECMO is a form of life support for people with life-threatening illness or injury that affects the function of their heart or lungs. ECMO keeps blood moving through the body and keeps blood gasses (oxygen and carbon dioxide) in balance.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is the most advanced life support modality available in the ICU, able to provide oxygenation and CO2 removal (VV ECMO) as well as support cardiac output (VA ECMO).
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an external life support system that temporarily supports or replaces the function of the heart and / or lungs when these organs are injured or failing, despite optimized medical management.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, also known as ECLS) uses a pump to take over the work of the heart and an oxygenator to take over the work of the lungs.
