ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)

ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)

ECMO is a vital device that receives the patient’s blood, oxygenates it, and returns it to the body

In ECMO, blood is pumped from outside the body to the ECMO machine, which removes carbon dioxide from the blood and returns oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues. Blood flows from the right side of the heart to the ECMO device, where it is oxygenated, warmed, and then returned to the body. The ECMO device is a type of artificial heart-lung machine that provides long-term support for heart and lung function outside the body. It is typically used during open-heart surgery and when pharmacological treatments and mechanical support for the heart and lungs are ineffective, with more than an 80% risk of mortality for the patient.
