Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a type of invasive treatment method, during which blood is pumped out of the body through an extracorporeal pump and returned back to the body fully oxygenated. In this way, it can partially or fully replace function of an impaired heart and/or lungs. This type of treatment is suitable for patients with severe cardiac/pulmonary dysfunction.
