âExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a cardiopulmonary bypass technique. It provides long-term cardiac or respiratory support in patients with respiratory or cardiac insufficiency. Physicians often use this technology with newborns.
ECMO is used for children and adult patients with severe, but reversible heart or lung disorders that have not responded to the usual treatments of mechanical ventilation (ventilator), medicines, and extra oxygen. ECMO will not cure these conditions; it does give support and allow time for the lungs/heart to heal. EMCO is continued until the heart or lungs recover or until treatment is not effective; it may be a period of days or weeks.
